ProfitBricks, the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) company that completely reengineered the delivery of Cloud Computing, is speaking, sponsoring and exhibiting at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley, the 13th International Cloud Expo conference. Pete Johnson, senior director of cloud platform evangelism at ProfitBricks, will discuss the evolution of cloud and the needed flexibility that Cloud Computing 2.0 offers.
WHAT: The Evolution of Cloud Flexibility
WHEN: Wednesday, November 6, 6:25 p.m. - 7:10 p.m. PT
WHERE: Santa Clara Convention Center; exhibiting at booth #215
WHO: Pete Johnson, senior director of cloud platform evangelism at ProfitBricks
WHY: Cloud computing enables companies to alter capacity as demand fluctuates, something that first generation cloud computing platforms and on-premise solutions could never deliver. But these needs are building demand for more flexibility in the cloud.
This session will explain how Cloud Computing 1.0 falls short and how Cloud Computing 2.0 offers the necessary flexibility to keep up with demands.

By Liz McMillan Many organizations are realizing the benefits that come with moving data to the cloud, including faster implementation, elasticity and reduced costs.
