The Channel Company held its NexGen Cloud conference in San Diego last week, and it was obvious how much the cloud is changing the industry. Here are eight cool sights and sounds spotted at the event. Three top vendors walked away with trophies from the CRN Test Center's Tech Tank competition at the NexGen Cloud Conference in San Diego. EMC, daVinci, Harmon.ie, FinancialForce, FireEye and Ruckus pitched their products as the most deserving of NexGen's 'Best of Show' award. Epson, HP, IBM, Interneer and Vistara hyped their products as the most innovative at the NexGen Cloud Conference. Here's a synopsis of the "Tech Tank" competition at the event. AVG, already well known around the world for its free antivirus product, is planning to launch a new identity-as-a-service, and an executive says it's still very focused on security. The open-source cloud operating system enables solution providers to become innovators, says Mirantis' Alex Freedland. Ray Kurzweil, the futurist and inventor who's now a head of engineering at Google, says it won't be long before the cloud is helping people think and work with greater depth. The first day of NexGen Cloud Conference & Expo, the first-of-its-kind conference in San Diego, probes the mysteries of the cloud business. Ray Kurzweil will join other computing luminaries and successful solution providers at The Channel Company's premiere cloud event. Solution providers looking to transform their businesses will learn there's no standard model for cloud services, but plenty of good advice, at the NexGen Cloud Conference & Expo. The Channel Company's NexGen Cloud Conference & Expo debuts next week in San Diego. Colocated with THINKstrategies' Cloud Channel Summit, the event aims to pave the way for solution providers and vendors to forge new partnerships. |
Ellen Berlan, director of cloud and managed services for Cisco's Americas partners organization, talks about partner progress with Intercloud at the Next Generation Cloud conference. IBM used The Channel Company's NexGen Cloud Conference & Expo to push partners to transform their businesses to meet customers' cloud and mobility requirements, or risk getting lost while the IT world evolves without them. Jeff Porter told attendees of this week's NexGen Cloud Conference & Expo that the software giant, much like them, is in the process of transforming into a cloud company. IDC said at the NexGen Cloud conference that pressures on IT administrators to deal with ever-increasing mobility and data generation is causing data center administrators to look closely at when to add software-defined technology. |
