With 9th Cloud Expo at Silicon Valley's Santa Clara Convention Center now finished, Cloud Computing Journal asked a variety of industry stakeholders what their Top Three takeaways were from the event, now that the many thousands of delegates are back at their desks and their companies, leveraging the knowledge and the insights that they gained through the extensive technical/strategic program and the huge number of booths on the Expo floor.
Here are the Top Three according to Dave Meizlik - Vice President of Marketing & Business Development at Dome9 Security.
Takeaway #1: Cloud ecosystem is growing
Cloud ecosystem is growing as more and more services are delivered in and for it, introducing flexibility but also complexity..
Takeaway #2: Security remains the #1 concern
Security remains the #1 concern in the cloud, but service providers are making great progress to mitigate that concern and new services provide customers with some great options.
Takeaway #3: Automation is king!
Cloud services must be as elastic as the infrastructure to support its scalability and portability. If it's not automated, don't bother.
