Free Luncheon Series Forecasts the Future of Cloud Computing

Is Cloud computing the "next big thing” in business? That’s a question now being asked by a lot of trade publications and corporations. Cloud computing lets companies rely on large, remote data centers to store data and run their software applications - with complete fail-over and recovery for all hosted services. This saves them money on building, maintaining and updating data centers, disks and servers.

“The costs are elastic and driven by projects, needs, testing, and development. You can increase and decrease the level of service, year-round,” said Alec Ellsworth, Executive Vice President at Red Anvil.

The implications for businesses, internet-technology departments and IT professionals, worldwide, are profound. This topic is being explored the third Thursday every month at Red Anvil’s corporate headquarters in Milwaukee. The free luncheon takes place at noon, and is catered by Cubanita’s. If you’d like to sign up for the luncheon, please call Marc Case at 414.476.0757 ext.614 or mcase@redanvil.net.

The series is hosted by Ryan Brooks - the VP of Technology at Red Anvil, who has done Global IP Network design and product development for Time Warner Telecom, UPS and British Telecom – and Alec Ellsworth, who founded a tech company, Internet Connect, as a graduate student and grew it into an Internet powerhouse with 350 enterprise/institutional customers and $8 million in annual revenue in five years.

Topics covered include:

• An in-depth look at Cloud Computing
• Cost savings and benefits for businesses and IT departments
• Security and Disaster Recovery
• Implications for the future of workforce distribution
• A look at the future direction of IT

“This era in Cloud Computing can be compared to the Internet in 1994,” said Ellsworth.  “We’re standing on the threshold of something new.”
