One-Day Workshops by WSO2 CEO and CTO Offer IT Professionals Best Practices for Deploying a PaaS and Managing Data in the Cloud
Palo Alto, CA – July 19, 2011 - The cloud presents a tremendous opportunity for enterprises to increase their agility and cost-effectively deliver new services to employees, customers and partners. However, evaluating, deploying and optimizing technologies in this nascent market can be confusing at best, and worst-case can stall a cloud project in its path. This week, WSO2 delivers two workshops aimed at helping IT architects and developers to address two top cloud implementation issues: managing data in the cloud and deploying a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) using the 100% open source WSO2 Stratos cloud middleware platform.
The WSO2 “Data in the Cloud” workshop being held in Palo Alto, CA on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 will explore the problem of handling large-scale data and the myriad of choices that are available in this space. In leading the workshop, Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder and CEO, and Dr. Srinath Perera, WSO2 senior software architect will:
Both Sanjiva and Srinath are elected members of the Apache Software Foundation and are committers on several Apache projects. Sanjiva also founded the non-profit Lanka Software Foundation to promote open source development, and he has served on the board of the Open Source Initiative. Srinath also is a co-founder of Apache Axis2. For more information, visit https://wso2.com/events/workshops/2011-july-usa-data-in-the-cloud-workshop.
