The Cloud Business Summit is the first executive conference of its kind that brings together the most Cloud-experienced senior business strategists and technology executives from medium-to-large size businesses – combined with the most comprehensive Cloud Computing business research from Saugatuck – to explore what is possible, what is real, and what is not in the Cloud. The event will focus on what progressive companies are doing right now to drive new revenue and profits from the Cloud, increase productivity and gain greater operational efficiency, all the while continuing to manage risk.

Sponsored by SAP (Platinum), IBM (Platinum), Dell Boomi (Gold), and CloudTP (Silver), as well as media sponsors, Bloomberg Businessweek Research Services and Sandhill.com, Saugatuck has assembled a rich mix of senior business and information technology executives who will participate as speakers in the event, including Eric Armour, President, Graphic Communication Business Group, Xerox; Chris Bird, Chief Architect, Sabre; Hubert Gassner, CFO, Invensys Controls; Jason Maynard, Senior Technology Analyst, Wells Fargo; Rick Nucci, CTO, Dell Boomi; Evangelos Simoudis, Managing Director, Trident Capital; and Michael Wilens, President, Corporate Operations and Technology, Fidelity Investments, among others.

“We are very excited about the launch of this new invitation-only conference,” shared Saugatuck Technology founder and CEO Bill McNee. “The hard-hitting program, coupled with the intimacy of fewer than 200 attendees, will provide a powerful networking environment for the conference delegates to learn firsthand from their peers about how other large companies are applying Cloud business solutions, platforms and technologies to their advantage, and building winning Cloud-enabled business strategies.”

“I especially want to thank our conference Advisory Board, which includes John Schloff, VP Global Strategy at Pitney Bowes; Pat Toole, Corp VP and CIO at IBM; Manesh Patel, SVP and CIO at Sanmina-SCI; Sam Medina, CIO at Willis North America; and Gary Lynch, Managing Director and Global Leader at Marsh,” added McNee. “They have provided great guidance in helping to shape the agenda – as well as volunteering to participate in the program itself.

iPower Technologies: 3 Major Small Business Benefits from Doing More with Less ? Server Virtualization

iPower Technologies: 3 Major Small Business Benefits from Doing More with Less – Server Virtualization













Boca Raton, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) February 21, 2011

President of iPower Technologies, Jarrett Pavao, discusses three (3) major benefits and money saving IT server virtualization trends for 2011. These trends can mean significant savings for small businesses. Three major benefits small businesses can achieve right away include company savings, improved reliability, and fault tolerant systems.

Five years ago businesses fueled by a booming economy were thrust into a phase of rapid growth. During a period in which IT departments found themselves struggling to keep pace with an expanding business model. Demands for more servers and desktops increased as companies grew. Sudden hikes in hardware costs were the parallel effect of this demand. Including all of the non-tangible costs companies struggled to bear, linked to an expanding server farm. Specifically the management of cooling, electrical, security, business continuity, and physical space increasing IT business expenses. Currently an improving economy allows us to view what IT departments are doing now. IT departments are finally being told that they no longer have to “make due” with outdated antiquated equipment. Advents in modern server technology have really set the stage for IT departments to “Do More with Less” by investing in the latest Virtualization technologies. In fact iPower Technologies performed an analysis that illustrates how these technologies can net you a ROI of 336%. This figure is based on a small company having 25 servers over a 3 Year period.

Basically, the virtualization software converts your traditional old servers into encapsulated flat files that run on the host machine with their own independent processors, memory, and storage. There are numerous advantages to this including a reduction in costs. No longer are you married to a specific type of hardware to run your servers, and your opportunity to retire dated underutilized equipment adds a tangible benefit. Many large companies have been doing this successfully for a long time. The potential savings for large entities has sparked the interest of smaller companies wanting to share in these technological based rewards. It is estimated that over 40% of servers only use about 10% of their processing power. Based on these statistics, there are many situations where virtualization technologies allow IT departments to consolidate 10 servers for every 1. These kinds of savings can be dramatic! There are numerous studies online that show how quickly an organization can reduce their cost of ownership, while making money back on their investment in this technology. Lowered cooling, electrical, and space requirements allow an organization to instantly notice real savings with virtualization technologies. IT departments will also see more value by implementing these virtual server environments. Due to the operating systems of the guest virtual machines being flat files the ease in backing up and replicating them to an off premise disaster recovery site is readily available. This effectively reduces your bottom line while offering peace of mind. iPower Technologies can offer affordable advanced software designs and solutions that make total disaster recovery systems available to small businesses.
