Abstract

Overview:

While there are more than 500 different cloud players, companies such as Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft are generating the most attention and doing a lot of arm-wrestling with one another to capture this market. Microsoft and Google have been leading the charge and offering cloud services to companies of all sizes for the last 10 years and IBM has been quietly selling and installing large government and enterprise deals in the background without making too much noise; although recently that have become more vocal with enhancements to their offer.

Audience:

Datacenter service providers
Infrastructure providers
SaaS, PaaS, and LaaS providers
Application developers
Network operators
