(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — The European forum for business leaders and strategists in the cloud space, PoweredbyCloud (www.poweredbycloud.com) will take place February 8 to 9, 2010 at the America Square Conference Centre in London, which will coincide with the Cloud Law summit, the first legal forum for cloud computing in Europe.
According to consulting firm BroadGroup (www.broad-group.com), which is organizing the event, the two major themes emerging for debate at the 2010 PoweredByCloud conference: the business and technological case for private cloud; and the growth and implications of mobile cloud services. PoweredByCloud will offer industry leaders the opportunity to debate the coming changes, and help them position their organizations to take advantage of them.
“The second conference occurs as [the] cloud shifts from early adopters towards mainstream markets and product packages designed for large enterprises promote outsourced private cloud,” commented Tim Jackson, chairman of PoweredbyCloud. “The shift is discernible from a cloud pitched by outsiders, to one promoted by insiders.”
The cloud holds profound implications for businesses and governments, however, there still remains issues about privacy and security, government regulation, data location and international competition, as well as the implications of the US Patriot Act and EU Data Directive. These topics and more will be discussed at the Cloud Law summit taking place on February 10, 2010.
“PoweredbyCloud is the selected forum for decision makers from across Europe, and who are likely to be represented in force at the forum. Any company who is evaluating whether to make a commitment to cloud, or serious about talking to the early adopters outside the US already doing so, then the 2010 event is likely to be the best venue to do that.”
With more than a quarter of attendees being “C-level” managers, PoweredByCloud promises to be a who’s who of leaders in the cloud service provider, enterprise IT, telco, solution supplier, government and regulatory agency, law, investor and professional intermediary sectors, providing an effective forum to network with clients and providers in this fast-moving space.
