Martin Ingram of AppSense is presenting to a general session on Why VDI? If you are like me, what VDI? VDI is desktop virtualization. Session abstract:
“The technology of desktop virtualization is moving forward rapidly but what is the real goal? This session discusses the overall objective of desktop virtualization and how technologies available now or in development contribute to that objective. By looking at the future directions of the principal virtualization technologies (hardware, operating system, application and user) and where they can be used (hosted, client and cloud) it equips you to evaluate all the technologies, their relevance for your users and the benefits you should expect.”

The basic idea is you can extend your SOA to the cloud, utilizing external resources, either business or informational services, or infrastructure resources.

Mike Hill, VP, IBM Cloud Services on How the CIO becomes a hero again:
‘Cloud Computing will have major impacts to the way in which IT is delivered from the data center to its many clients. For the CIO, this can be perceived as a threat to the way in which they manage data center capabilities. In reality, cloud computing offers a huge opportunity to the CIO who now has the capability to offer more responsive, scalable, and available IT services. This presentation provides a perspective on cloud computing’s future and illustrates how the CIO can appropriately leverage cloud to become the hero again.’
Cloud is culmination of capability, developed over 50 years, with a new intriguing business model. IBM is embracing Cloud Computing. Today’s talk on why CIOs should embrace it as well.
