In his first session, “Deploying Self-Service Controls”, which is part of the Two-day Enterprise Cloud Summit focused on private clouds – Amir will discuss how a hyper-visor based security approach enables self-service and resource scaling within the cloud.

Enterprise Cloud Summit: ECS On-demand computing resources are the most disruptive change in IT of the last decade, and much of that disruption begins at home. Day one of Enterprise Cloud Summit will focus on private clouds – radically new ways to combine virtualization, automation, and self-service models in order to change how you deliver IT to your business. On day two of Enterprise Cloud Summit, the focus will turn to look at the many public cloud offerings that are leveling the IT playing field. Public cloud providers offer pay-as-you-go economics and tremendous flexibility; but they also create new security, portability, and performance concerns.
