sponsored by CoSentry
Kevin Dohrmann VP and CTO CoSentry Today most organizations dedicate over 70% of total IT spend to maintaining their existing infrastructure. Executives are constrained from delivering IT as a strategic business enabler by complex and inflexible silos of infrastructure. Cloud computing promises to deliver infrastructure on demand; the key to transforming IT from a cost center to a business innovator. But what does it look like? Has the delivery matched the promise? What pain and risk does this introduce and can business actually do anything today? This case study will explore how one organization has built a safe, secure, high performance infrastructure cloud on an industry standard virtualization platform. If you are supporting virtual machines today, you can get out of the infrastructure business and into the innovation business right now. This session will explain how the business has evolved from a physical infrastructure business to a virtual one, and what that has delivered for their customers. |
