Cloud Zone

Cloud Computing Area on the Pavilion Floor
Cloud computing provides a way to deploy and access everything from single systems to massive amounts of IT resources on demand – in real time, at an affordable cost. It makes incredibly large amounts of computer and storage capabilities available to anyone with a credit card. And since the best cloud strategies build on concepts and tools that developers already know, clouds also have the potential to redefine the relationship between information technology and the developers who depend upon IT. Visit the Cloud Zone at the Pavilion to learn firsthand about tools and technologies that can help you harness the power of the cloud.
