Despite the proliferating examples of successful cloud deployments, many organisations continue to speculate that the growing interest in cloud computing is a just a short term phenomenon - the latest hype destined to join other fads in the tech market trash bin.

Join us at IDC's Cloud Computing conference to find out how the rapid emergence of cloud services, and the cloud computing model underpinning those services, are ushering in a fundamentally new era of growth and competition in the IT market.

IDC and industry experts will investigate the current hype around cloud computing and put forward an analysis of cloud computing development directions and market trends that will affect buying decisions. They will also provide guidance as to how and when New Zealand businesses can safely use cloud technologies and services to enhance their IT and business performance. 

Hot Topics

• Security in the cloud: can you ever have enough?
• Working with the CFO to develop a successful cloud business case
• Building the cloud roadmap: key milestones and obstacles
• Transforming on-premises IT assets to a private cloud: DIY or bring in the experts?
• Should a private cloud be a custom solution, or will the new 'cloud in a box' solutions be good enough?
• Future cloud: hybrid clouds and the need for load balancing, predictable performance and meaningful service levels
