Elliot Curtis on Cloud Hosting

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Elliot Curtis delivered the second session Tuesday morning at the Hosting & Cloud Transformation Summit, during which he set out to discuss Microsoft’s feeling and approach about the cloud, generally.

A big part of that is looking at the way that customers – including small business, mid-sized companies, and enterprises – deal with the companies to which they outsource their IT services. Microsoft has a philosophy we’ve discussed before about becoming the “trusted advisor” to your customers (which may apply more directly in the smaller customer space)

Curis displayed a chart showing the dropping cost of hosting, which ended, of course, at zero – the current price of hosting, from a certain point of view.

Sixth Annual Hosting & Cloud Transformation Summit – North America

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Hosting & Cloud Transformation Summit – North America (HCTS-NA) event, to be held on September 13-15 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. This cloud hosting conference is put on by Tier1 and The 451 Group.

Corporate leaders, industry visionaries, senior IT architects and financial professionals come together for two full days to learn, network and map out strategies for today’s marketplace. The program at the Summit provides a complete overview of the opportunities and challenges facing the managed datacenter and hosting services industry – ranging from power, cooling and partnering to M&A strategies; from cloud assessment to meeting the ever-increasing expectations of SMB and enterprise customers. Attendees at the Summit have returned year after year for two reasons: an outstanding conference program where industry leaders talk candidly with their peers about the future of the industry, and exceptional networking opportunities with a senior-level executive audience.

“The Hosting & Cloud Transformation Summit is the only event of its kind to bring together such high-caliber attendees from every area of the Internet infrastructure sector,” said Antonio Piraino, Tier1’s Vice President & Research Director and Conference Chair. “Industry leaders from organizations of all sizes attend this summit year after year because they can depend on the insight received from our analysts and the networking opportunities with forward-thinking executives and investors.”
