YS-CON Events announced today that 3Tera was named "Gold Sponsor" of SYS-CON's first Cloud Computing Expo Europe 2009 (http://www.cloudexpo-europe.com), colocated with the first annual Virtualization Conference Europe 2009  (http://www.virtualization-europe.com), which will take place on May 18-19, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic.

3Tera’s global network of data center partners puts the power of cloud computing where you need it. Or, you can install AppLogic in your own data center, for the most flexible IT infrastructure available. In Prague, a 30-minute presentation by 3Tera's Pavel Georgiev, AppLogic Systems Engineer, EMEA, will examine "Gaining Competitive Edge with Cloud Computing Architectures."

As IT shops in companies large and small try to do more with less resources," notes Georgiev, "they are looking to cloud computing for its flexible resource usage, low capital and operational costs and ease of management."

His session will demonstrate some of the strategic benefits and capabilities of a global cloud platform that incorporates both the use of public cloud services and private cloud platforms. Attendees will learn from real business cases how to leverage cloud computing architectures to streamline operations and improve the way infrastructure is managed, to and increase revenues, while reducing the costs of IT operations.

Enabled by virtualization technologies, an ever-increasing number of companies now buying computing, storage, and networking power as they need it from the cloud, it is hardly surprising that SYS-CON's industry-leading International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo series is going from strength to strength.

Now held three times a year, in New York, Prague, and Silicon Valley, the event unfailingly attracts developers, engineers, architects, IT managers, and hardware and software professionals of every stripe.

With the advent of Cloud Computing, the cost of computation, application hosting and content storage and delivery is plunging fast by several orders of magnitude.

This is why many analysts and industry-watchers believe that Cloud Computing is changing not just the technology landscape but also the entire nature of the business models that underpin successful software and hardware companies.

Leading financial analysts estimate that by 2011 the volume of Cloud Computing market opportunity will amount to $160BN, including $95N in business and productivity apps (e-mail, office, CRM, etc.) and $65BN in online advertising.

Cloud Computing Conference & Expo Europe will also present a full-day, hands-on Cloud Computing Bootcamp by Alan Williamson.
