Confidence in Cloud with SolidFire Overview Multi-Tenanted Cloud o 5 Key Elements Citrix VDI & CloudPlatform Thank You Q&A
Different Faces of the Next Generation DataCenter Software Defined Data Center Virtualization Infrastructure 2.0 IT-as-a-Service Cloud Computing The demands of this NGDC-approach are now being felt strongly by IT organizations of all types; so much so that one can see data centers in the next few years either embracing such a move themselves, or buying their IT services from someone that does. Mark Peters, ESG Next Generation Data Center Agile Scalable Automated Predictable
