Abstract In the last 12 months, the definition of Cloud Computing has evolved and early deployments have exploded onto the scene, with enterprise firms placing clear emphasis on private cloud initiatives over public cloud options. What’s more, the private cloud landscape appears to have settled on 3 use-case classes as well-defined and low-risk starting points for their private cloud projects:

• HPC cloud
• Infrastructure cloud
• Application cloud

These early deployments are aimed at not only understanding the private cloud technologies, but also the new business models that enable more flexible IT service delivery. Join Platform Computing as they explore unique customer case stories that describe these early use cases, and the results these firms expect to see from their work. In this presentation, audiences will hear real-life cloud projects and learn how private cloud computing is not only about cost control, but also how it will revolutionize IT responsiveness to continually evolving business needs.
