Houston, Texas – March 24, 2010 – Cloud-computing company iland™ has been selected to present two presentations at the world’s largest virtual cloud computing conference: Cloud Slam™ 2010. The Cloud Slam 2010 conference invites writers, editors, and industry analysts covering the fields of cloud computing and networking to attend the conference and gain insights on this rapidly evolving IT sector. 

 

“IT organizations are expected to increase services to the business while reducing costs and ‘greening’ their infrastructure,” explains Dante Orsini, iland VP of Business Development. “Adopting a virtualized, cloud infrastructure strategy provides multiple ways to make IT more agile and aligned with business objectives, while reducing TCO.”

 

The iland presentations will use multiple case studies to demonstrate the business benefits of embracing cloud computing in enterprise IT organizations. “Cloud computing is certainly seen as a ‘buzz word’ by many CTOs,” says Orsini. “But the reality is that there is a compelling path to real value with cloud implementations. This includes key cloud ‘sweet spots’ including disaster recovery (DR), desktop virtualization, scalable proof of concept environments, and outsourced production environments.”

 

The iland presentation “Workforce mobility and improved security through cloud-based desktops” explains how a cloud-based desktop virtualization plan allows IT organizations to securely integrate desktop PCs, laptops, and other devices with their hosted servers, data, and services. 

 

The benefits include protecting workers’ desktop data in the company’s DR plan, simplifying and centralizing desktop management, and reducing total IT expenditures. In this presentation, iland will present case studies that show real examples of streamlined management of user desktops, improved user experience, and the cost-effectiveness of cloud-based desktops.

 

The “Achieving business continuity goals with a cloud-based DR plan” presentation shows how a cloud-based DR plan can help enterprise IT organizations prepare for the unpredictable with nimble infrastructure that’s resistant to catastrophe and able to recover quickly when disaster strikes. 

 

“A cloud-based DR plan,” explains Orsini, “can provide cost-effective business continuity options to enterprises of all sizes. In this presentation we’ll present case studies that show real examples of the cloud computing solutions described. We’ll also provide demonstrations of key solutions including software-based and SAN-to-SAN data replication and standby resources.”

 

The 2nd Annual Virtual Conference on Cloud Computing will be hosted online from March 23-25, 2010. It is global event, covering latest trends and innovations in the world of cloud computing. Conference panels, workshops, and tutorials are selected to cover a range of the hottest topics in cloud computing. Learn more at cloudslam10.com
