Journey to the Private Cloud
Senior IT and business management should understand that virtualization and cloud computing represent the single most important re-architecting of the information infrastructure in the history of computing. The impacts of this trend will be seen over the next decade. This translates into a greater ability for IT to deliver lower cost services, higher availability, faster time to deploy, and improved security – a security do-over.
This session presents practitioner research on the value associated with integration of virtualization technologies as they relate to the journey to the private cloud, focusing specifically on security integration. Topics discussed include the virtual integrated stack, the most important integration points, key integration requirements for security and the value an integrated stack can deliver to IT organizations embarking on a virtualization and cloud computing journey.

Join Tim Brown, CA Technologies chief security architect, as he discusses 10 security- related questions you need to consider before moving to the cloud.
