Infinitely Virtual CEO to Explore Cloud Computing Reliability and Security at Prestigious Public Sector Conference
MIAMI --(Business Wire)--
IT professionals in educational institutions and government agencies
need to be confident that the data they move to the cloud will be secure
and that the systems safeguarding that data are reliable. At the
Cloud Computing in the Public Sector Conference, to be held in Miami
on April 16-17, Infinitely Virtual CEO Adam
Stern will explore how public sector organizations can ensure
high-level security and reliability as they increase their investment in
cloud-based IT operations.
Infinitely
Virtual is a leading provider of virtual server cloud computing
services and a strong proponent of advanced security and backup in cloud
computing systems.
A member of the "Reliability and High-Availability Service Delivery"
panel, Stern will examine the traditional approaches to reliability in
cloud computing, and explain why IT professionals should be looking at
other threats to downtime as well.
"We typically think of power loss, hardware failure or Internet downtime
as reliability issues, when we also need to look at attacks originating
from the Internet, malware, data loss, poor configuration, and other
events that can impact reliability and productivity," Stern says.
Stern will also address the best technologies available in intrusion
detection and prevention systems (IDPS) -- which are designed to prevent
attacks and extend far beyond traditional firewalls -- and the concept
of "application-consistent backup" and why it is the optimum restoration
method in the event of data loss. For a recent example of Stern's
