DATA CENTER TRACK
While 2011 was a year for cloud hype, now that IT pros are starting to trust the cloud, 2012 is bringing real-life deployments at organizations worldwide. Rather than the now age-old question, “What IS the cloud, exactly?” – this year is about real tactics for starting to leverage cloud technologies, from deciphering the differences between 7+ new-and-improved application delivery methods to identifying the right cloud flavor and preparing your infrastructure for it.
By taking just one day out of the office you will gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of application delivery, for the client and server sides alike, as well as get actionable tactics to effectively identify and implement the best, holistic solution across your infrastructure.
Return with practical and actionable methods to:
- Implement automation across your data center infrastructure
- Identify the optimal application delivery method based on the maturity of your existing infrastructure, from streaming and VM-hosted apps to VDI
- Optimize your organization’s workspaces to effectively accommodate a new app delivery technology
- Realistically evaluate all cloud options, from *aaS services to public and true private cloud
- Uncover which cloud model is the right fit and effectively prepare your environment for the progressive migration
- Separate the idea of a converged infrastructure from a method for dealing with hardware, and get up-to-speed on the real (read: non-vendor) state of this up-and-coming technology
