Overview
Cloud Computing is the latest buzzword in enterprise IT shops around the world — but scratch the surface, and Cloud Computing consists of a number of existing trends in IT, including virtualization, Software-as-a-Service, utility computing, and more. Adding to the confusion is a large helping of vendor hype, as both software and hardware vendors push Cloud Computing as an excuse to buy more gear.
The reality, however, is quite different. Cloud Computing presents a variety of operational and deployment models that can help enterprises reduce infrastructure costs, provide better customer value, and position themselves for the future. But organizations won’t succeed with the Cloud unless they understand the strengths and weaknesses of Cloud Computing and have a carefully planned architectural approach that positions Cloud-based capabilities in the context of existing IT assets and challenges.
This intensive two day workshop prepares you to leverage the Cloud to achieve real business value. We cut through the hype and separate what really works from the noise.
- A clear, vendor-independent understanding of Cloud Computing.
- A well-delineated conception of the strengths and weaknesses of Cloud’s three service models: Software-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service, as well as Cloud’s four deployment models: public, private, community, and hybrid.
- The tools and expertise necessary to put together a Cloud roadmap and migration plan for their organizations.
- An understanding of how to place the Cloud into the context of their current Enterprise Architecture and IT strategy.
- Practical intelligence and advice on securing the Cloud and putting together a robust Cloud governance framework.

- Vendor independent — We discuss vendors in context, both good and bad. You get a balanced perspective on each vendor we discuss.
- Architecture focused — The course concentrates on what architects have to do to be successful with Cloud in their own organizations. We balance technology details with organizational approaches. If you’re not an architect you’ll learn how to think like one in this class!
- Practical — we connect theory to practice with what really works in organizations like yours.
- Current — we refresh the course on a regular basis to reflect the latest Cloud Computing and Cloud Architecture best practices.
- Enterprise context — We place Cloud Computing into the context of large organizations, with complex, heterogeneous IT environments and all the politics and bureaucracy that every large organization faces.
- Led by globally recognized Cloud and Architecture thought leader Jason Bloomberg and co-author of the new book, The Agile Architecture Revolution.
- Not too technical, not too high-level — Unlike courses offered by others, we cover the technology without getting lost in the details. We discuss the big picture but connect it to the day-to-day reality of the IT shop.
