considerations for moving your enterprise mission critical applications to the cloud
DESCRIPTION
Have you considered moving core business applications to the Cloud? Do you know if it makes sense for your business? This information-packed session will provide attendees with four things their enterprise should consider when evaluating moving their mission critical applications to the cloud. In addition, this session gives attendees: • Insights culled from industry experts and analysts that explain how the cloud affects costs from three angles: launch, operations, and long-term infrastructure expense. • A review of how time-to-value and cloud launch processes differ from on-premise launches. • A snapshot of the processes used by cloud providers that may drive greater security and reliability than what enterprises can afford on their own. • Examples of how leading enterprises have moved their business to the cloud resulting in lowered cost and better service.TRANSCRIPT
