Presentations to focus on managing cloud environments with data center scalability and flexibility and benefits of an Internet Exchange.
Cincinnati (October 25, 2012) – Global data center services provider, CyrusOne has announced its participation in SIMposium 2012, CIO Means Business, in Grapevine, Texas, on October 28-30. At the event, CyrusOne COO Michael Duckett and Vice President and GM of Interconnection Josh Snowhorn will deliver presentations on managing a cloud environment, including data center scalability and flexibility and the benefits of an Internet Exchange.
Snowhorn’s presentation, “The Dynamics of an Internet Exchange and the Cloud,” will be held at 2:00 pm on Monday, October 29, and will provide a brief history of Internet Exchanges (IX) and their relevance for the modern cloud. He will explain the world of peering for the cloud, as well as its benefits for reducing costs, adding performance and enhancing traffic control.
Later in the afternoon, at 3:45 p.m., Duckett will deliver his presentation, “The Colocation Evolution: Providing the Scalability and Flexibility Found in the Cloud,” which will detail the growth of cloud adoption and its impact on data centers. The presentation will explore modern requirements for scalability and flexibility in cloud delivery, and detail the ways in which colocation capabilities are accommodating these demands.
“Data volume is anticipated to grow by as much as 800 percent over the next five years, which will force rapid expansion in data center capacities and performance ,” said Duckett. “At this rate and scale of deployment, most companies will be strained to keep up with the capital expansions and growing complexities of managing a cloud environment. CyrusOne is addressing these concerns with its ‘Sky for the Cloud™ platform, which provides a flexible, scalable and secure home for the cloud that maximizes Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and interconnects the full ecosystem of partners and providers.”
