ARMONK, N.Y., April 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM
(NYSE: IBM) today announced that John
Considine, general manager for cloud infrastructure
services, will present at the Open Networking User Group (ONUG)
Spring 2017 meeting in San Francisco,
California, on trends in cloud adoption.
Taking place April
25th-26th, the ONUG Spring 2017 event
will focus on digital transformation and speakers will address
changing IT organization and the strategic adaptations necessary to
remain competitive in the software-defined, cloud-based era.
Cloud has evolved from a technological innovation to an integral
part of business enablement. In 2012, only 34 percent of senior
business leaders surveyed by the IBM Institute for Business Value
said they had a solid plan for adopting cloud computing. However,
in 2016, 78 percent of the executives surveyed describe their cloud
initiatives as coordinated or fully integrated.
At the event, John will participate in a first of its kind
discussion between the ONUG Open Hybrid Cloud Working Group and
executives from the top cloud service providers. Members of the
working group will begin by outlining the requirements necessary to
overcome obstacles in moving enterprise workload to the public
cloud. Subsequently, John will present on how IBM Cloud can address
these obstacles and enable enterprises to use cloud to take
advantage of emerging technologies including cognitive, blockchain
and IoT to generate value from big data.
John's presentation will take place on Wednesday, April 26th at 11:30 a.m. PT. For more information on the Open
