IBM Face to Face event: “Micro-Cloud: Bringing the Benefits of Cloud Computing to Data that cannot be moved” at the IBM Federal Cloud Innovation Center
On Tuesday September 9 from 8:00 - noon, Dr. Dinesh Verma, IBM Fellow and Department Group Manager for Cloud Based Networks at IBM Research, will provide an in-depth presentation on Micro-Cloud, at the IEG in Washington DC.
Many regulations, laws, and industry guidelines govern how sensitive personal information and regulated data are managed across industry and government. Improper release of regulated or sensitive information can result in significant consequences and damage, making compliance with government regulatory acts and industry guidelines paramount.
Cloud computing has many benefits, but cases exist where some data cannot be moved to the cloud for various reasons. In some cases, data may be generated at rates that are too big to move or at rates that exceed transfer capacity, for example in surveillance, operations in remote areas, and telemetry applications. In other cases, security concerns or regulatory compliance requirements might limit the use of the cloud.
Micro-Cloud technology is a new model for cloud computing especially suited for organizations that are unable to move data onto the cloud due to insufficient bandwidth, latency, location-specific processing needs, big data, security, or compliance reasons. Micro-cloud allows organizations to realize the benefits of cloud computing as they create new insights from their premises by moving computations and analytics to where the data resides, dynamically and intelligently.
Please join our host, Jane Snowdon, Chief Innovation Officer, IBM US Federal, in a dialog of the key considerations involved in micro-clouds and their application.
We look forward to exploring with you how the Federal Government can effectively engage the power of IBM offerings to deliver accelerated value and support the continuous optimization and delivery of your agency’s mission.
