Cloud Computing: a Manager’s Guide 2013
20 May, 2013
Rome , Italy
Cloud computing has gained a lot of attention in recent years. It has mostly been used for non Business critical applications like email, or for those business functions that could be outsourced to a vendor that offers large business applications in a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. However, it is apparent that the reach of the Cloud is expanding, and many companies are wondering how to plan for more substantial use of Cloud capabilities, such that they won't fall behind their competition.
This seminar will provide an overview of the key Cloud characteristics and capabilities, differentiating between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS). What are companies using the Cloud for today and what is on the horizon? To gain a better understanding of this question we will illustrate some of the most popular Cloud use cases.
The seminar continues with an overview of PaaS, illustrating how the development of business applications for the cloud is different from traditional development and deployment of on-premise systems, including a discussion of multi-tenant systems. The seminar will also address the security challenges when exploiting the Cloud, and how to address them.
The seminar closes with a walk-through of a model for calculating Return on Investment (ROI) of Cloud-based solutions compared to on-premise systems, and takes a look at the future of Cloud Computing, including the impact that the consumerization of IT has.
