The Economics & Technology of Hosting Services: Making Sense of the Options

Come participate in a Data Center & Cloud Computing Roundtable.  Hear  thought leaders from Carlson Marketing Worldwide, Kroll and enStratus discuss these timely questions and more:

• In today’s economic climate, what is the most cost effective mix of the following options to meet the current and future demands of the business —Construction, Colocation, Cloud Computing?
• Should I consider moving a portion of my existing traditional Data Center hosting services to the Cloud?  If so, which services and what type of Cloud?
• What is the current market pricing in the Twin Cities for hosting services options (Construction, Colocation and Cloud Computing)?
• What new trends should I be addressing in my near, mid and long term Hosting Services Strategy?  Are there non-traditional solutions I should be reviewing? What is real and what is hype?
• With new compliance and security regulations, how can I cost effectively ensure my hosting strategy meets the standards? (i.e. PCI-DSS and ARRA/HITECH/HIPAA)
• How do I ensure my hosting strategies align with the business requirements at the appropriate risk level?
