	WIN A NEW JEEP -- #SEETHEWOZ @ITEXPO August 26 - 29, 2013 Mandalay Bay / Las Vegas, Nevada ITEXPO / @ITEXPO / #ITEXPO #SEETHEWOZ @ITEXPO
	THE BATTLE FOR CLOUD SUPREMACY WILL BE FIERCE. Competition is nothing new to the technology arena — it's what breeds innovation and defines new trends. When new ideas reach the point of becoming disruptive, competition heats up to the point of a tech war, which is where cloud computing has taken the industry, with vendors large and small making a play in the cloud, and businesses of all sizes evaluating their options in the cloud. THE BATTLE IN THE CLOUDS INTERACTIVE KEYNOTE SESSION WILL EXAMINE: What these changes mean. How providers and users alike handle concerns over privacy and security. Which cloud model will dominate the others. Where does open source fit into the picture. Does cloud mean the end of local computing completely. The idea that any computing and communications resources will be delivered on an "as-a-Service" basis from server farms physically located anywhere in the world represents a powerful shift in computing theory. Despite the hype, media attention, and adoption to date, the cloud is still a relatively new technology with many questions still to be answered, including its impact on corporate governance, compliance, business continuity and disaster recovery strategies. Still, the concept of moving sensitive business information and applications into an off-premises environment managed by a third party is profoundly changing how businesses think about, purchase, and manage technology, and how IT groups deliver services including a sea change in the managed services marketplace. Be there as cloud computing leaders discuss what it will dominate the cloud landscape and what the next major shift will be, and who will emerge victorious in this battle.
