Cloud Computing Expo on Ulitzer

Cloud testing is a new way of establishing reliability, leveraging the Cloud to drive traffic to websites - to measure, analyze and assure performance at web-scale. It gives companies confidence that applications, whether in the Cloud or in a data center, can withstand unexpected surges in traffic. Optimizing responsiveness and the user experience before going into production or when changes occur is critical. Tom Lounibos, Dan Barstow and Mike Kavis know that all the attendees will leave their session with an understanding of cloud testing and how it is used today to ensure website reliability and performance.

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.
