Cloud Connect Chicago, produced by UBM Tech, has announced a new conference programme built around the most competitive enterprise cloud stacks including OpenStack, CloudStack and Amazon Web Services. As the premier technology event for the cloud community, featuring the latest technologies, strategies and innovations, Cloud Connect will return to Chicago October 21—23 in a new downtown location, McCormick Place.
For many organizations, cloud computing has become an integral part of IT, but they continue to face critical technology decisions as competing platforms push for market leadership. As such, this year's program for Cloud Connect Chicago pits major industry players against each other with five conference tracks, each to represent a divergent cloud software strategy: Amazon Web Services & Eucalyptus, CloudStack, OpenStack, Platform-as-a-Service and Virtualization & Private Cloud. As the unique architectures have both benefits and limitations, speakers affiliated with the different tracks will address key technology considerations and business impact across the leading use cases.
In addition to conference sessions, Cloud Connect will open with a full day of intensive cloud computing education through a series of Summits and Boot Camps. Designed to empower technology decision makers, these comprehensive workshops will outline standards and emerging trends around big data, security and risk, as well as management strategies in increasingly heterogeneous cloud environments.
Cloud Connect will host a variety of cloud providers for a two-day exhibition featuring cutting edge products and services. Top sponsors to date include: HP Cloud Services, IBM, Levementum, OVH.com, SoftLayer and Windstream.
