What is a Virtual Conference?

  • A virtual conference provides keynotes and other auditorium sessions, an exhibit area, and an opportunity for you to network all from the comfort of your PC desktop.
  • Hear best practices and get immediate answers to your questions from top technologists.
  • Network with HP experts and other attendees in the networking lounge.
  • Get access to white papers, demos, videos, podcasts, and other valuable material in the exhibit area.

The cloud presents new opportunities that go beyond cost savings for many proactive organizations that are already up and running with their cloud initiatives. Cloud offers exciting growth opportunities, including fully automated hybrid cloud environments with enterprise grade security, enhanced enterprise agility and improved flexibility. But taking advantage of all these often overlooked benefits isn’t exactly easy – until now. Take your cloud initiatives to a whole new level of performance and ensure the greatest ROI from your current infrastructure when you discover exactly how to accelerate your business results through pre-built, enterprise-class cloud services that are designed with your core applications in mind.

This virtual event is guaranteed to provide you with actionable information to get the most out of everything the cloud now has to offer, especially your ability to more efficiently consume enterprise cloud services easily, cost effectively and securely. During this virtual conference you’ll have the opportunity to listen to, and interact with, technology experts and hundreds of your peers as you hear what others are doing to reap additional cloud rewards and avoid hidden pitfalls.

Leading industry thought leaders, including former CTO for the U.S. Intelligence Community and neuroscientist Dr. Eric Haseltine, cut through the hype and offer clear, practical ways to tap into the full power of the cloud and construct the right cloud roadmap that meets the needs of your business.

Sessions include:

How to Build a Hybrid Delivery Environment Fueled by the Power of Cloud
Steve Dietch Vice President Marketing, Cloud Solutions and Infrastructure, HP Enterprise Business

Cloud is about accelerating service delivery, enhancing enterprise agility, and improving flexibility for a hybrid, multi-sourced world. Learn how to fully automate your hybrid cloud environment - from infrastructure to application - with a single integrated system to build and manage services across public, private and hybrid clouds. Discover how to become the builder and broker of IT and business services, accelerate time to business results and inject innovation into your enterprise today -- with cloud.

Tap the power of cloud services to propel your organization into the pole position
Kevin Karcher IT Outsourcing Product Marketing Leader, HP Enterprise Services

The reality of a hybrid delivery model is that enterprise IT must manage critical aspects of sourcing services either internally, through outsourcing or through the cloud. Traditional outsourcing delivers great value for the enterprise seeking to lower cost, mitigate risk, improve service quality and ensure a secured IT environment. However, consuming cloud services from an external service provider have not always yielded the same benefits until recently. In this session, learn how to propel your organization into the pole position with pre-built, enterprise-class cloud services that are designed with your core applications in mind – workloads that need enterprise-grade security, 24x7 support, and full integration across your systems.

The formula for cloud success: Strategies for managing and securing your services across the hybrid delivery model
Paul Muller Vice President of Strategic Marketing, HP Software, Hewlett-Packard Company

Today’s hybrid IT environment boosts the number of choices in how you source and deliver services to the enterprise: private cloud, public cloud, traditional IT, on-premise, off-premise, etc.  Whatever the sourcing decision, it’s IT’s job to ensure that the services are available, perform to expectations and are secure—to meet agreed service levels.  In this session, learn how to implement a lifecycle approach to managing and securing cloud services. Hear about ways you can understand the costs of providing services so you can make informed sourcing decisions.  Discover how to aggregate and offer your services via a user-friendly service portal and catalog. And learn how to do all of this while automatically provisioning, monitoring and securing services and their underlying infrastructure and applications at the push of a single button.

Closing Keynote: IT, start your engines
 Patrick Harr Vice President, Enterprise Cloud Solutions, HP Enterprise Business

Hybrid delivery cloud is the key to injecting the right power and capability into your technology-enabled services. It lets you tune up your value and turn down your costs. This session focuses on the journey to the hybrid delivery cloud. It provides clear actions you should take to move your organization to this world, so you can shift your investments from maintenance to innovation and revenue generation.
