SUMMIT 2008: Infrastructure 2.0: East Coast’s response to Web 2.0?

4/30/2008

 
Nick Carr, In his new book “The Big Switch,” Nick Carr predicts that IT infrastructure will eventually move into the cloud and create a “World Wide Computer.” The picture he paints could be quite bleak for IT professionals. Whether his predictions are realized or not, these significant shifts in the Web landscape have created new challenges and exciting opportunities for innovation. East Coast innovators are taking the lead with the next wave — Infrastructure 2.0 — in which new solutions such as “cloud computing” are paving the way for applications with exponentially more power, scale, reliability, and data availability.The panel – with leaders from both coasts – will discuss:
  • The transition from traditional, linear infrastructure into cloud computing;
  • Competitive and financial advantages that infrastructure 2.0 can deliver now;
  • Budgets, aspirations, and expectations of Infrastructure 2.0’s on-demand computing model.
