OpenStack is quickly becoming the de facto standard for Open Cloud platforms. What makes OpenStack the future of Cloud Computing and how can someone get started learning this new technology?
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Ken Hui, an Open Cloud Architect at Rackspace, will walk participants though the basics of OpenStack and offer practical suggestions and resources for learning the foundation of the new Open Cloud.

How the Cloud and VoIP Have Changed How People Work
Telecommuting at one time meant little more than working from one’s kitchen table, saving files onto a floppy disk, and possibly sending them into the office via dial-up modem. There was no videoconference, no softphones to move your office extension to wherever you were sitting at the moment, and no Google Hangouts, Chatters, or virtual meetings with colleagues.
Under such circumstances, telecommuting was relegated to second-tier employees that were cut out of the water-cooler loop. Because that early telecommuting lacked any semblance of true collaboration, and also because there was no oversight mechanisms built in, companies were reluctant to embrace it in any meaningful way.

Focus on Business, Not Infrastructure
Join us for an exclusive briefing with Gartner where they will talk about how IT Executives are modernizing data centers and transforming operations to focus resources on business value.
During the session they will discuss how innovative IT solutions are needed to help IT deliver against rapidly changing business expectations, where the converged infrastructure market is heading and how it can establish a foundation for organizations to capitalise on new revenue opportunities.
Engage with other industry executives as well as leaders from Cisco, EMC and VCE at this invitation-only event and consider how you can focus on your business, not your infrastructure.
Cloud Computing Promotes Less Energy Consumption on Data Storage
It is estimated that with more and more companies switching to cloud computing methods for data storage that the impact will lead to a 31 percent reduction on the amount of energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gases by data storage facilities. This is extremely beneficial for the environment, as well as companies that may be trying to reduce their overall carbon footprint, remember, every little bit helps. Due to these estimations more and more cloud services are being offered, further enhancing the benefits offered to businesses who take advantage of these services.
Grid storage: When you access the gird computing capabilities of cloud services you can actually provision the amount of resources that are turned on or off. However, they have taken this a step further with something known as on demand provisioning of resources. This will ensure the elimination of over provisioning when used in conjunction with the pricing of utilities. There is no over provision which basically means you pay for what you use.

Cloud Expo New York: Enabling Cloud-Scale Desktop Virtualization
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Steve O’Donnell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GreenBytes, will discuss the emerging technologies that are enabling a scalable desktop virtualization platform that will support tens and even hundreds of thousands of users which, to this point, has been both a financial and technical challenge. Attendees will hear about new technologies that are resolving mission-critical desktop virtualization business challenges such as limited scalability, complex integration, high capital cost of storage, and a disappointing user experience, and come away with a clear plan of attack to implement a cloud-scale desktop virtualization project.

Prepare Your Data Center for the Future
Experience the power of a unified data center, and learn the advantages of Cisco ONE, Cisco Unified Fabric, and the Intel Xeon processor-based Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS).
Geared for Business and Technical Decision Makers
Cisco, in collaboration with Intel, is coming your way with a full-day event. The morning session provides an overview of Cisco Unified Data Center, and the afternoon offers deep dives into networking, compute, and storage capabilities.
Cisco Unified Data Center changes the economics of the data center by unifying networking, compute, storage, virtualization, and management into a single platform. The results are operational simplicity and business agility, which are essential for cloud computing and deploying IT-as-a-Service.
