Gigaom Research webinar: web-scale IT: are enterprises ready?

Web scale IT

By some estimates, within the next five years web-scale IT will be present in more than half of the world’s enterprises. Web-scale IT has enabled companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon to achieve unprecedented scalability, agility and simplicity. Can enterprises learn from the way some of the largest and most successful companies buy, deploy and operate their infrastructure?

In this webinar, our panel will discuss these topics: 

  • What is web-scale IT, where did it come from, and what does it offer?
  • What are the shortcomings of existing IT environments and how can web-scale IT address them?
  • What are the design goals, principles and characteristics of web-scale IT?
  • How does web-scale IT relate to other trends, like software-defined data centers, scale-out computing, hybrid cloud, DevOps and hyperconvergence?
  • How can IT infrastructure incorporate web-scale IT to meet the demands of cloud-like operation and delivery?

Speakers include:

  • Barb Goldworm, President and chief analyst, FOCUS, LLC
  • Mike Karp, Vice President & Principal Analyst, Ptak, Noel & Associates
