Cloud Computing and its ability to process the needs of multiple users with shared resources in a dynamic and transparent fashion doesn't happen by chance.

The underlying technologies and their ability to provide elasticity, scalability, and automation, while protecting data in motion, data at rest and data in process are critical to a successful Cloud Computing implementation.

Join EMC, Intel and Unisys in this power panel discussion with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan, taped live at the Times Square Studio, where they focused on the infrastructure that supports a secure cloud solution and discussed why the underlying technologies and partnerships are crucial in making the right decisions for your cloud computing strategy.
