Ed Sullivan, Aria Systems' CEO and Founder, will be presenting at SYS-CON's 2nd International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo in New York City this coming March 30-April 1, 2009.

While the surge in Cloud Computing's popularity has coincided with the economic downturn, it was the increase in the quality of cloud services and security measures that is ultimately responsible for the industry's boom.

Financial savings associated with cloud services are an incentive during trying times, but the evolution of Cloud Computing into the mainstream is a direct indicator that businesses have developed a trust in the quality and security of cloud based services.

Although it took a devastating recession for many non-traditional industries to embrace the cloud, in this session, Sullivan will discuss how Cloud Computing will remain a competitive business solution for years to come.

Cloud Computing Is Swelling Into an Estimated $36BN Market
The Cloud Computing conference theme this March is "The Delivery of IT Resources as Services" - with 100+ breakout sessions by leading industry CEOs and CTOs whose companies already recognize that what today's companies need above all is to be able to build infrastructures that can scale up or down at a moment's notice.

Over the next five years, IDC expects spending on IT cloud services to grow almost threefold, reaching $42 billion by 2012 and accounting for some 9% of total software sales. More importantly, spending on cloud computing will accelerate throughout the forecast period, capturing 25% of IT spending growth in 2012 and nearly a third of growth the following year.

Cloud computing helps IT cut infrastructure costs while adding new features and services to grow core businesses. Clouds can help grow margins as costs are cut back but service offerings are expanded.
