Everest Group Webinar: Transformational Impact of Emerging Cloud Models in Enterprise Environments to Be Discussed

The transformational impact emerging cloud models can have on IT cost and performance in enterprise-class environments will be discussed in a one-hour Webinar hosted by Everest Group, a global consulting and research firm, on May 24 at 9 a.m. CDT (News - Alert). This webinar will focus on the specific enterprise benefits of cloud infrastructure services, including Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).

Specifically, the audience will learn:

• The enterprise economics and key drivers of major cloud delivery models (private, public and hybrid)
• The critical areas where cloud models can drive dramatic cost improvements in enterprise-class infrastructures
• How cloud vendor pricing models, such as dedicated, reserved and on-demand, impact overall migration economics
• How competition in the cloud service provider market will likely impact the pace of enterprise cloud migration

"While cloud services are being widely adopted by small and medium-sized businesses, enterprises arestill scratching the surface. Though many 'experiments' and pilot projects have been launched, most enterprises have yet to fully assess the potential business impact of private, public and hybrid cloud on their environments," said Scott Bils, partner, who will co-host the Webinar with Dale Stara, engagement director.
