Santa Clara, CA, October 27, 2010 - The Armada Group, a leading Silicon Valley technology consulting firm, announced today that Vasathan Dasan, Armada's CTO, will explore the issues and opportunities surrounding migrating business applications to the cloud at next week's Cloud Computing Expo and Cloud Camp at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
At Cloud Computing Expo on Thursday, November 4 at 5:00pm, Dasan will present a case study in the Real-World Cloud Computing & Virtualization track about "How to Set Up a Self Service Portal for Corporate IT." To attend, visit, http://cloudcomputingexpo.com/
"Every IT department in the Fortune 1000 is either evaluating or in the process of adopting the cloud based model of computing," said Dasan. "For regulatory, cost and business reasons, many IT departments are planning or in the process of building their own private cloud. The most logical first step in creating a private cloud is setting up a self service portal, typically for the use of a test and development environment."
At Cloud Camp held on conjunction with the Cloud Computing Expo, Dasan will deliver a "lightning talk" on "Migrating Applications to the Cloud." To attend Cloud Camp, which takes place on Tuesday, November 2 from 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM, register at http://www.cloudcamp.org/siliconvalley/2010-11-02
