Moving up the stack to PaaS and SaaS the use of virtualisation may, as you say, be less required if you put lots of smarts into your software. A lot of software does not have those smarts and by utalising virtualisation of the layers below can manipulate existing software architectures to have more cloudy attributes through automation (eg run load balancers and deploy more servers automagically). Over time, as new investment in software at...

Zuora’s Tien Tzuo to Present at Cloud Computing Conference in NYC
Tzuo to speak on how cloud-based companies can increase profitability while managing subscription-based businesses

Tien Tzuo, CEO of Zuora, will be presenting at SYS-CON's 2nd International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo in New York City this coming March 30-April 1, 2009.

Thanks to cloud computing, many products are moving to subscription services delivered online -- we have entered the subscription economy. Companies delivering these online services need a way to run their business and support their unique billing and payment needs. What developers need is a Business Cloud -- an easy way to add commerce capabilities such as subscription billing and recurring payments to the services they are building. That's where Zuora comes in. In this session, Tien Tzuo will explain how all cloud-based companies can monetize, increase profitability and streamline business processes all while building and managing their subscription-based businesses.

Speaker Bio
Tien Tzuo joined Zuora after 9 years at salesforce.com where he built the original billing system while holding various executive roles. In 2004, he was named CMO of the Year Finalist by the CMO Council and BusinessWeek Magazine. Tzuo is widely recognized as a thought leader in the software-as-a-service industry.

Cloud Computing Is Swelling Into an Estimated $36BN Market
The Cloud Computing conference theme this March is "The Delivery of IT Resources as Services" - with 100+ breakout sessions by leading industry CEOs and CTOs whose companies already recognize that what today's companies need above all is to be able to build infrastructures that can scale up or down at a moment's notice.

Over the next five years, IDC expects spending on IT cloud services to grow almost threefold, reaching $42 billion by 2012 and accounting for some 9% of total software sales. More importantly, spending on cloud computing will accelerate throughout the forecast period, capturing 25% of IT spending growth in 2012 and nearly a third of growth the following year.

Cloud computing helps IT cut infrastructure costs while adding new features and services to grow core businesses. Clouds can help grow margins as costs are cut back but service offerings are expanded.

Top Keynotes, Top Technical & Business Sessions, Top Delegates

2nd International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo will feature 100+ technical sessions from the leading industry players from the main layers of the Cloud ecosystem - the infrastructure players, the platform providers, and those offering applications and services. Our two-day Expo is your chance to get in front of senior technologists including CIOs, CTOs, directors of infrastructure, VPs of technology, IT directors and managers, network and storage managers, network engineers, enterprise architects, and communications and networking specialists.
