Steven Woodward of Cloud Perspectives will share some key perspectives on cloud and cloud 2.0.

Steve will highlight what cloud computing is and what the next generation services are that are enabled by cloud computing.

When using externally-hosted public clouds, what is the impact to the IT and service management communities?  Is service management less or more important in the cloud computing era?
 
Governments and enterprises need to leverage the available technology, such as Cloud Federation, IoT and Blockchain, in order to innovate, but must recognize that the technology alone will not solve all of the many challenges that they are faced with.

Attendees will participate in discussions on the opportunities and challenges in this era of cloud computing.
