2015 eCloud Summit will provide a forum where key stakeholders in next generation of enterprise IT come together to share experiences, exchange ideas, and build relationships

BOSTON, MA – January 22, 2014 — /BackupReview.info/ — Actifio, the copy data virtualization company, today announced it will host the first eCloud Summit from Feb. 17-18 at the newly opened JW Marriott in Austin, Texas. Enterprise IT executives, leading cloud service providers, next-generation enabling technology vendors, prominent analysts and media will be invited to attend the event. Experts will participate and share in a variety of panels and sessions that explore what has been called the “death of IT,” and the rapid emergence of new opportunities and challenges presented by the enterprise cloud.

Enterprise IT is now moving aggressively toward a cloud delivery model. According to 451 Research, 65 percent of large scale enterprises now use some form of cloud computing.*

According to Gartner, “By 2018, SaaS will become the dominant model for consuming application functionality for approximately 80 percent of all organizations.”**

Aggregate statistics like these mask a complicated reality inside the enterprise. Executives driving this transition often wrestle with a tangle of infrastructure they increasingly see as a commodity, even as the applications that infrastructure supports become more strategic. Most are looking for ways to improve the resiliency, agility, and control of the data that is the lifeblood of their business while reducing the cost, time, and complexity necessary to manage it.

During the two-day event, Actifio will call upon the key stakeholders in this transition – enterprise CIOs, cloud service provider leaders, and enabling technology executives – to share their perspectives on how best to collaborate in navigating the move toward the cloud.

Event speakers include:

  • Ash Ashutosh, founder and CEO of Actifio
  • Gary Reiner, former CIO of GE and current board member of Citigroup and Box
  • Rich Roseman, former VP & CIO of 21st Century Fox and Newscorp
  • Donna Scott, vice president & distinguished analyst at Gartner
  • Bill Taylor, co-founder and founding editor of Fast Company
