Mark Huetteman, North American Operations, Azul Systems

 

In this session, attendees will learn best practices in deploying and managing critical Java workloads on-premise and in the cloud. The cloud presents a powerful tool for transforming your business at a time when reinvention is often a matter of survival. Yet, uncontrolled cloud costs create margin pressure and can harm the valuation of your business. Navigating these paradoxical forces is a top strategic imperative for IT and business leaders.

 

We will discuss this “cloud paradox,” as well as the most common cloud costs impacting your bottom line and strategies for optimizing infrastructure through the use of best-in-breed software technology.
