Cloud infrastructure and solutions can be implemented holistically across the enterprise, or as a way to rapidly address specific time-sensitive needs. This panel session will address the latest in cloud-based trends, solutions, applications development, security and more. Get beyond the buzz words, and learn how to make the cloud work for you.
