Openstorage is the answer for growing virtual desktop business
90% of the worlds data has been amassed in the last 2 years and Facebook is now as big as the Internet was in 2004. This has only been possible because of datacentre consolidation, or as its more commonly known the cloud.
Whilst private cloud is popular, it can be very expensive and requires large investment. More traction is now focusing on the virtual private clouds also known as hybrid clouds. A virtual private cloud completely
separates your data and resources from anyone elses BUT the key is that it resides on a public cloud, allowing you to make use of economies of scale.
This presentation will look at how with new security techniques and economies of scale, public clouds are the future. It will focus on the technology that is needed to support a hybrid solution
from virtual desktops through to the storage required to power this hybrid world.
Who should attend this session?

James Mackie successfully built, ran and quarter owned London's highest ranked community driven website in 2003. James sold his quarter of the Internet firm in 2004 allowing him to setup Appiam, an IT support businesses managing outsourced IT for SME's in the UK.
After 4 successful years of running Appiam, James made a multi-million pound investment into VESK virtual desktop. "We tried selling hosted VDI through our existing Appiam customers, but the market wasn't ready in 2004, nor was the technology.
Since the inception of new breed technology such as HDX and speedscreen, the VESK concept became a reality in 2008 making VDI affordable for businesses of all sizes".
In the last 3 years, James has pioneered VESK to become one of the leading providers of hosted virtual desktops. James is now working on some of the largest hosted VDI deployments known in the UK across private, third and public sectors.
James' vision for the future is to help businesses reduce their costs, improving the way people use IT in business and pushing heavily on social and corporate responsibilities.
