Cycle Computing to Moderate End-User Panel on Cloud Virtualization for Life Sciences and Finance
WHAT: Jason Stowe, CEO of Cycle Computing, will be moderating a panel of end-users discussing real-world applications of cloud virtualization at the 1st USENIX Cloud Virtualization Summit in Boston, Mass.
WHY: The panel, including Aaron Kitzmiller of Life Technologies, Vassilios Pantazopoulos of Pfizer, Lance Berc of VMWare and Dave Cohen of EMC, will discuss use cases, requirements, agility benefits and security considerations of cloud services, focusing on deployments in life sciences and finance.
The panelists will discuss real-world implementations, exploring life sciences and financial services companies' positions on using cloud computing. The discussion will dissect the challenges, effectiveness and regulatory compliance issues confronting these types of companies as they move to the cloud, as well as best practices to successfully leverage the advantages cloud computing delivers to both industries.
Cloud computing changes how many organizations operate, but is it often difficult to separate the real, practical ways that the cloud is helping with collaboration, software as a service, technical computing and storage.
