1:35 - 2:05pm HP Cloud Strategy and Solutions - The Path to Hybrid Delivery
If you manage technology today, you know the story: everything is mobile, connected, interactive, immediate, and fluid. You need to provide technology-enabled services to your people whenever and wherever they need them—and you need to do it cost-effectively, securely, and quickly. This is one of the driving forces behind the rise in cloud computing. But getting the most out of the cloud is not a simple exercise. You need a clear understanding of where and how cloud computing can most effectively be applied to your portfolio of services.
Get strategic counsel from HP and identify the opportunities that cloud services represent —from the overall landscape to the precise strategy you need to adopt and deliver cloud-based services.

How can I be sure that my data is sufficiently protected; is my data encrypted while stored and what about when being transferred to and from the service provider; what about back-ups and access to data in case of data center failure; how about restoratin strategy? And the list goes on.
Today, Symantec.Cloud will demystify some of the myths and concerns about going cloud. In addition, we clarify some of your stumbling blocks including data integrity, confidentiality, security and more security!

3:25 - 3:55pm Journey to the Cloud - Transform IT-as-a-Service to Deliver Increased Business Agility
There is an urgent need for IT to be more agile in meeting the needs of the changing business landscape. Hence, IT is increasingly moving towards an era of the cloud model where IT is being delivered as a service.  By harnessing the power of virtualization, clouds place considerable business benefits within reach.  Business leaders are able to obtain the benefits of cloud computing sooner rather than later.
Join us at this session and we will share with you how you can start your journey to the cloud based on a three phase strategy.  More importantly, we will show you how you can reduce complexity and risk while delivering lower total cost  of owndership  (TCO)
