Under the Radar: Consumerization of IT
April 25-26 2012, Mountain View, Ca.
The rise of webscale businesses like Google, Facebook and Linkedin have permanently changed consumer expectations in the workplace. As business units are demanding real-time data on customers, IT needs to transition from an operations role to a hybrid like Dev/Ops or App/Ops to manage petabyte size data sets, create scalable infrastructures, and enable rapid application development. As we enter a new era of IT disruption, early adopters that are quick to capitalize on disruptive technologies will lead the market.
Join us on April 25-26, 2012 to learn about the latest innovation and meet leading enterprise executives for a day of discovery, networking and deal flow.
