SLOUGH, England, October 20, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- International solutions provider, Logicalis (http://www.uk.logicalis.com/ ), today announced that Chris Gabriel, director of solutions, is to address delegates at Public Sector Enterprise ICT 2010 ( http://www.publicsectorict.co.uk/index.html), on the opportunity, challenges and value of cloud. The event, which tackles strategic change and efficiency in public sector ICT, will be held on Thursday 4th November at the Inmarsat Conference Centre in London.
Co-hosted with Chris Rae, director of solution sales at CA Technologies, the presentation will use case study examples from the public sector to dispel the myths and answer the key questions associated with cloud, including: is cloud the platform for future public sector ICT consolidation? Is cloud secure enough to hold sensitive data? Is cloud suitable for large scale public sector adoption? Is cloud a tactical technology fix or a strategic government platform?
What: The cloud is the answer. It's also the question. Who: Chris Gabriel, director of solutions, Logicalis Chris Rae, director solution sales. CA Technologies When: 10am Thursday 4th November Where: Public Sector Enterprise ICT (http://www.publicsectorict.co.uk/index.html), Inmarsat Conference Centre, London
Speaker abstract: Consolidating the myriad of public sector data centres onto Cloud is now not only a national IT initiative but ever more a local and regional budget priority. The answer might be cloud; the question is what, how and when can Cloud start to deliver value to public services. This presentation will attempt to answer those questions and provide actual use cases not futurologist predictions.
