Compuware Previews Collaborative Cloud Community at Cloud Expo
In his presentation, Willoughby discussed how the benefits of cloud computing can deliver new IT functionality to the business quickly and at low initial cost. Additionally, he highlighted how borderless applications present a new challenge to IT departments: managing application performance and availability when the application assets cross organizational and geographic borders. Such borderless applications seamlessly integrate cloud, web and data center services together, while maintaining the end-user perspective that they are single applications. Willoughby also detailed how enterprises can tackle the performance challenges presented by this new application delivery model.
“While mission-critical applications will still typically be provided by company-owned resources in the data center, IT departments will increasingly use cloud-based applications and services to more rapidly deliver new functionality to the business,” said Willoughby. “The success of such efforts will depend on tools that stop the finger-pointing and give IT performance visibility across the enterprise and Internet to cloud services providers. I look forward to sharing use cases and real world examples with my peers at Cloud Expo 2010 and to detailing how the entire IT community—IT operations, cloud service providers, architects and developers—can build and deploy cloud-based applications with optimal performance in mind.”
