REDWOOD CITY, Calif.,
May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix,
Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the global interconnection and data center
company, today announced that Karl
Strohmeyer, president, Equinix Americas, will be speaking at
International Telecoms Week (ITW) 2015 taking place May 10-13 at the Hyatt Regency and Swissotel in
Chicago, Illinois.
Strohmeyer will be leading the executive panel, "Where
Opportunity Connects – Clouds & Networks," on Tuesday, May 12 from 9-10:30am CT in Swiss Tower, Gold Level,
Lucerne 3. The discussion will
focus on solving the private cloud access challenge to provide a
scalable and effective vehicle to utilize cloud services and
implement a hybrid cloud environment. Service providers of every
type, including data center providers, network service providers,
cloud service providers and system integrators are working
collectively to make it possible to consume cloud resources and
applications via securable high bandwidth connectivity. The network
and IT consumption model is becoming fungible and the IT and
Network service provider industry is building a bridge to help
enterprise CIOs implement hybrid cloud architectures.
The objective of the panel session is to review and compare what
is currently being done to solve the connectivity challenges
including elements associated with automating a telco service
delivery model to match the on-demand cloud consumption model. This
panel will explore what service providers need to do themselves, as
well as collectively to satisfy enterprise requirements and the
aforementioned challenges. Panelists will describe their part of
the service chain and experience implementing or partnering to
deliver private cloud connectivity as well as their vision of
what's to come in the next five years.
