In the wake of every cloud outage, a conversation buds about the reliability of clouds. Particularly when a cloud outage affects consumers’ ability to access services such as video on demand, social media sites or sensitive data like a bank account, cloud computing goes under extreme scrutiny.
For this month’s #cloudchat on Thursday, Aug. 9, from 4 to 5 p.m. ET, we’ll be talking about the level of resiliency that’s right for business on the cloud, and how this might change as customers’ expectations rise.
We’re thrilled for this chat to have our first-ever guest moderator, Chris Preimesberger of eWeek, joining us. Chris will be asking the questions and interacting with the panelists and audience this month—it’s going to be a chat you won’t want to miss.
