3) Business Cloud Nine

Much like the early days of the Internet, cloud computing has turned into a land grab for tech vendors. Who owns the cloud? Who regulates the cloud? Is the cloud a safe environment to house mission-critical applications? Ultimately, cloud computing is in search of for a vendor to step up and own the cloud—both literally and figuratively. Akamai is already the business cloud with SLAs for SaaS and application acceleration.

Let's move the generic cloud computing discussion beyond theory to reality.

4) What comes first? The cloud or cloud computing?

Everyone is talking about cloud computing but what about the cloud? Is the unregulated Internet robust enough and safe enough to handle the coming cloud-computing offerings? What about mission-critical business applications? As tech vendors turn cloud computing into a land grab for future business, who's minding the cloud? Who's optimized it for business?

Akamai has already built a business cloud infrastructure that offers SLAs for SaaS and application acceleration. How will cloud computing vendors tap into Akamai for success?

5) "Cloudy" Days Ahead? What you need to know?

IT executives are being asked to evaluate the 'cloud' to improve business agility while lowering operating and capital costs. Whether for a corporate website, web-enabled business processes, SaaS, SOA, cloud computing, everyone is talking about how the Internet cloud presents new opportunities for delivering enterprise applications and services. Yet very little is known about the "cloud" itself.

How does it work? How does it already play a role today? What new challenges are introduced in-terms of application performance, scale, availability and security?

You will learn about the cloud, the state of the Internet and how it impacts your applications and websites.
