| POWER PANEL: Enterprise-Level Cloud Computing: Far-Off Dream or Present Reality? |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
Cloud Computing, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. But if it is already a commercial reality, why does Richard Stallman call it "worse than stupidity"?
What, if any, are the new economic models enabled by Cloud Computing, and how can a service operator decide whether to move to the cloud or stay in a private datacenter? What changes should be made to the design of future applications software, infrastructure software, and hardware to match the needs and opportunities of Cloud Computing?
Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan moderates this "Power Panel" which will be simulcast Web-wide on SYS-CON.TV.
