ServiceMesh to Share Enterprise Cloud Expertise and Implementation Best Practices at Cloud Expo Santa Clara 2011

SANTA MONICA, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 2, 2011) -

WHAT: ServiceMesh, provider of the market-leading enterprise cloud platform for Global 2000 companies, will be presenting two sessions at SYS-CON's Cloud Expo Santa Clara 2011, Nov. 7-10, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. In addition, ServiceMesh representatives will be available at booth #515 to provide live demonstrations of the ServiceMesh Agility Platform, the industry's most comprehensive policy-based governance, security and lifecycle management solution to unlock the business value of cloud computing by significantly reducing the costs, risks, and time-to-market for delivery of IT services.

Dave Roberts, vice president of strategy at ServiceMesh, will present an Enterprise Cloud Computing track session titled "Step Up To The Plate: Take Your Cloud Strategy from the Minor League to the Majors." This session will describe how to create a winning cloud strategy by empowering business units and fostering innovation through advanced cloud governance and policy management. He will also take part in a Power Panel to answer salient questions about cloud computing strategy alongside other high-profile executives and thought leaders from both corporate and government organizations.

Anthony Skipper, vice president of infrastructure & security at ServiceMesh, will offer an Enterprise Cloud Computing track session titled "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - What Most Early Adopters Encountered in the Cloud Frontier." This session will deliver real-world, pragmatic advice on how to overcome security, operational, and governance hurdles experienced by Global 2000 enterprises, so that your organization can achieve more rapid business results when adopting cloud computing.

WHY: Enterprise IT needs to transform from their current reactive and constrained IT services delivery approach to more agile and cost effective operating models that align quickly to business needs. However, many companies trying to develop a cloud strategy fail to consider the full impact of the cloud on the IT organization and business users, and they struggle to overcome a variety of organizational and technical challenges. ServiceMesh has helped some of the world's largest enterprises implement cloud strategies that successfully navigate these challenges and achieve a more agile IT operating model complete with policy management, consistent governance, end-to-end security, and workflow automation.
