Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

"NaviCloud also employs a multi-pronged approach to ensuring and enforcing the security, privacy, and integrity of enterprise applications and data. NaviSite CTO Denis Martin will deep dive into the architecture and the real building blocks of NaviCloud."

Martin's resume shows extensive experience in network-based computing and outsourced delivery of business solutions and managed services. Before joining NaviSite, he managed the national hosting and application services organization for AppliedTheory, Inc. He has also acted as a consultant to several state and federal agencies in developing network and application programs at local, state and national levels.

NaviSite will also look at Cloud Computing from the angle of pitfalls to avoid, specifically seven of them, according to Vishal Sharma, Sr. Director of Business Development. "Faced with high in-house deployment, management, and support costs for its mission-critical enterprise applications, enterprises are turning to the cloud for its economic efficiencies and speed of deployment," according to Sharma's session abstract. "But moving to the cloud requires some up-front planning and careful consideration of the various cloud offerings."

Sharma has worked for RSA/EMC, Microsoft, Gartner, AMS/CGI and TCS. He holds undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and an MBA from Wharton Business School.
