As webinar organizers say, cloud computing is happening in a big way. But we don’t need to tell you that, of course. Everybody’s talking about all the wonderful benefits of cloud computing, of how infrastructure-as-a-service, resource elasticity, and user self-service all promise huge returns, as webinar organizers note.

This is your chance to get the straight story from well-respected and qualified industry insiders, Dax Farhang, Director of Product Management at Electric Cloud (News - Alert), and Dan Gordon, Product Manager, Electric Cloud.

Software development and testing’s need for a scalable, flexible IT infrastructure makes it a great customer for the benefits of cloud computing. As webinar organizers say, whether it’s vast clusters for testing, dozens of machines to run ALM tools, or the incessant requests for just one more box, development teams are always asking for something and it is always changing.

But again, we don’t really need to tell you that either. It’s a fact of business life.

As Webinar organizers note, it’s primarily because of these needs, as well as security concerns, in addition to the desire to find more economical ways to do business, that many enterprises are considering building a private cloud.

The webinar looks at these issues, and will give attendees what organizers say is a blueprint for creating a private development clouds that enables IT to provide infrastructure as a service to developers. The presentation will also deal with task and workflow automation, resource management, and tool integrations which “allow development teams to effectively use a private cloud infrastructure and run these tasks in a shared environment,” organizers say:

“We will also discuss how IT organizations at enterprises have used Electric Cloud products to transform generic grid and VM infrastructure into private development clouds tailored to their development teams.”
