The applications that support of an enterprise exhibit a wide range of operational characteristics. That diversity is the key to business success, but it has consequences. In his general session at Cloud Computing Conference & Expo, Tony Bishop, Founder and CEO of Adaptivity, discusses three different perspectives that must be accommodated. He will also discuss how Enterprise Cloud Computing enables IT as a service and is the next phase in data center evolution to solve this spiraling dilemma. How does business successfully operate this expensive investment? The solution lies with understanding workload characteristics fundamentals to tailor (but finite) solutions.

The 4^th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo is co-located with the 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo and will be taking place November 2-4, 2009 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA.
