Palo Alto, CA – June 6, 2013 – WSO2 today announced that WSO2 Vice President of Technology Evangelism Chris Haddad and SUSE Business Development Manager Frank Rego will lead a joint presentation at Cloud Expo 2013 New York. The session, “Bridging IaaS and PaaS to Deliver the Service-Oriented Data Center,” is part of the event’s Enterprise Cloud Computing Track on Thursday, June 13, 2013. The Cloud Expo conference is being held June 10-13, 2013 at the Javits Center in New York.

Bridging IaaS and PaaS to Deliver the Service-Oriented Data Center

Increasingly, enterprises are adopting private infrastructure as a service (IaaS) clouds to take advantage of the scalability and flexibility inherent in cloud environments while avoiding the security and latency issues inherent in publicly hosted settings. As a result, organizations are also reevaluating how to optimize their future application delivery models.

This session will examine how IT professionals can efficiently and flexibly tackle the challenges of the modern connected enterprise using a combination of IaaS and platform as a service (PaaS). It also will discuss how a private PaaS can leverage the automation and scalability of a private IaaS solution, such as the OpenStack-based SUSE Cloud, to deliver secure, standardized development environments that enable migration to an agile, service-oriented delivery model. The presentation will run from 8:15-9:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 13, 2013.
