About the event
FREE day-long tech event in association with the GMIT, ITAG (Information Technology Association Galway) and supported by HP.
The Cloud is impacting all aspects of our modern lives,whether you are in business, a consumer or a developer.
So what do you need to know about the cloud? This day-long tech conference hosted on the GMIT campus (www.gmit.ie) and supported by HP, aims to tackle that question examining the technologies and services offered in the cloud.
Cloud computing is listed as one of Gartner's top 10 strategic technology trends to address."Cloud computing is a major technology trend that has permeated the market over the last two years. It sets the stage for a new approach to IT that enables individuals and businesses to choose how they'll acquire or deliver IT services, with reduced emphasis on the constraints of traditional software and hardware licensing models," said David Cearley, vice president and Gartner Fellow. "Cloud computing has a significant potential impact on every aspect of IT and how users access applications, information and business services."
Learn about the differences of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and Private, hybrid, public cloud offerings and hear from your peers on their experiences when it comes to developing for cloud applications and their journeys in getting there.
