Frost & Sullivan to Host an Executive MindXchange on Virtualization and Cloud Computing


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Tuesday, April 27, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Virtualization and Cloud Computing have been claimed to be the future of IT by experts. According to Frost & Sullivan, virtualization is a mechanism of dividing individual resources into multiple execution environments; cloud computing is a flexible and scalable shared environment in which third-party suppliers use virtualization technologies to create and distribute computing resources to customers on an as-needed basis, through the Internet browser.

The overall market for virtualization in India is still nascent. It is shaping up to be one of the major trends that would influence the end-to-end infrastructure of enterprises, namely server, storage, network, application, desktop, and so on. Market movements, demand expectations and customer requirements demonstrate a clear trend toward the adoption of cloud computing.

Limited awareness of the benefits of virtualization and cloud computing is the major challenge facing vendors. Frost & Sullivan thus presents a three-city Executive MindXchange on "Virtualization and Cloud Computing" to create a platform to gain understanding of virtualization and cloud computing related technologies, deliberate the impact on enterprise IT architecture and map the business benefits of virtualization solutions while interacting with end users and sharing real-life implementation benefits and challenges.

According to Mohammad Saif, Deputy Director - Consulting, ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan, SAME "The competitive advantage in the contemporary business environment, where IT is a pre-requisite for growth and no longer a choice for the organizations, would be derived from technologies like virtualization culminating into cloud computing.This not only facilitates the organization in deploying the next generation of productivity applications but also reduces resource fatigue."

The key areas of discussion at the MindXchange would be the Concept of End-to-End Virtualization, Benefits and Challenges of Virtualization, Adoption Trends of Virtualization Solutions, Future Trends and Cloud Computing. The audience expected at the event would be CIO/CTO/CSO/COO, Executive Team: IT Head/General Manager IT and Network Managers/Enterprise Security Architects/Compliance teams across sectors.

Microsoft is the Platinum Partner and Tata Teleservices is the Gold Partner for the event. CIO Connect and CIOL.com are the media partners for the event
