SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ServiceMesh, provider of the industry's only enterprise-grade cloud management platform, today announced its appearance on stage at GigaOm Structure and the ODCA Forecast 2013.

Forecast2013

Moderated by Jo Maitland of GigaOM Research, Mr. Pulier and his fellow panelists will discuss a new era where business and technology operating models have the opportunity to seamlessly align to enable fast, flexible response to rapidly changing competitive landscapes. Much of the work has been done to virtualize the data center components - CPU, storage, network, OS and apps -- but this has resulted in islands or silos of vendor-specific virtualized infrastructure. Now, increasingly heterogeneous virtualized elements can be combined and aggregated into logical resources with Software Defined Datacenters. Viewing business functions and technology as re-configurable blocks will require a radical departure from the legacy IT infrastructures and application portfolios found inside most organizations today. This session explores the evolution in business model and technology architectures required to deliver the Enterprise as a Service.

Structure

IT transformation is a top priority for many organizations. Often, many begin with IaaS as a stepping stone to transform IT. However, to achieve cloud operating model goals, a seamless, integrated central architecture of extensible policy and governance must be at the core. While the ultimate goal is to accommodate complex applications that provide business value, enterprises typically adopt one of two strategies in their quest. Path One: a project centric approach or Path Two: a view with the end-game in mind. In this session, I will present the path and strategies that lead to successful IT transformation.
