John Barr, Dinstinguished Analyst, The 451 Group, UK

The talk starts by describing The 451 Group’s Cloud Codex, which unravels the different types of clouds – separating the marketing hype from reality, followed by looking at a cross section of real life user deployments in the cloud – examining both the business and technical issues encountered. Finally, John will discuss market sizing and forecasts for many segments of the cloud market, including automation, control, monitoring, on-ramps, platform as a service and infrastructure as a service.
