At Event on January 28-29, Adam Stern to Offer Insights on SMBs Migrating to the Cloud – And Enterprises Considering Cloud Networks
LOS ANGELES (Jan. 22, 2014) — Leading cloud server provider Infinitely Virtual (www.infinitelyvirtual.com) announced today that Adam Stern, CEO and founder, will be speaking on two panels at ITEXPO/Cloud4SMB Expo, set for January 28-31, 2014, at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, Fla. The company will also be exhibiting at Cloud4SMB Expo, Booth #438.
Cloud4SMB Expo is dedicated to real-world business strategies and implications for growing businesses seeking to leverage the benefits of cloud computing solutions. Until now, the cloud phenomenon has focused almost exclusively on opportunities for the large enterprise. Sessions at Cloud4SMB Expo are designed specifically to provide attendees with the knowledge and information SMBs need to compete and succeed in this opportunity-rich marketplace. Cloud4SMB Expo is co-located with ITEXPO, the world’s leading business technology event.
“The timing could not be better for an event like Cloud4SMB because the opportunity for small and midsize businesses to benefit from cloud migration has never been greater,” Stern said. “The biggest advantage to moving infrastructure and applications to the cloud is, bar none, is freedom from the IT rollercoaster – that inexorable three-year cycle of equipment acquisition, maintenance and depreciation that acts as boat anchor for every growing business, whatever its size. In moving to the cloud, SMBs can grab hold of what truly is the great equalizer.”
Stern’s panel sessions follow:
Reseller/VAR/Integrator/MSP Focus – How You Can Effectively Sell to SMBs
Doug Barney (Moderator), Editor-at-Large
SMBs have heard endless talk about the benefits of moving applications to the cloud and are keen to enjoy all of the potential benefits from that environment. But, in order to take advantage of the cost savings and flexibility of virtual server hosting, there are some common challenges when migrating that organizations must consider, including what to migrate, hardware and operating system and middleware requirements, and security. These all require intimate knowledge of virtual environments as well as the applications and hardware required to maintain and run the virtual infrastructure, which most SMBs don’t have the time or ability to handle. As their partner, it is your responsibility to understand these elements and help SMBs navigate the cloud efficiently and cost-effectively. This session addresses the steps needed to ensure a successful transition of applications into a virtualized environment.
Wednesday, January 29, 9:00-9:45 am – E-01, ITEXPO
Joining Stern: Andy Gottlieb, Aryaka; Hector Hernandez, IBM; Dustin Walper, Myplanet Digital; and Tom Keating (moderator), TMC
