A song that reminds me of clouds is Get Off of My Cloud by the Rolling Stones.  One obvious reason being is it has the word cloud in the title.  :-)  Cloud computing is a phenomenon that has taken off over the last couple of years.  Most people and companies as a whole are skeptical about implementing a cloud solution within their environment because of risks that come along with it.  With risks also come pros.  In today's economy it would be overall cheaper to implement cloud computing than purchasing and maintaining servers on site in a air conditioned room.  I think the major challenge is to convince the CIO or CEO to go with a cloud solution.  If it is done properly with the necessary security and policies in place, there should be no issue or concerns.  CEO's and CIO's mostly care about the cost and how much money it will save them over X amount of years; it doesn't hurt to bring that up as well.

Keynote Update

We've got a jam-packed opening keynote session lined up for you today.

I’m coming to you from Las Vegas, where Vision, our annual user conference, is just getting underway.  The theme of this year’s event is “Surround Yourself” and Vision aims to provide attendees with more opportunities to connect with Symantec and each other through keynotes, technical sessions and 1:1 interactions. 

As we always do at Vision, we’ll be making some exciting news announcements this week and our executives will provide attendees with perspective on Symantec’s focus for the coming year.  If you’re not able to attend Vision, don’t worry!  Throughout the event, the PR team will be regularly blogging about the keynotes, sessions and news so you can surround yourself with Vision wherever you are! 

If you want more in-depth information on what’s going on onsite, you can check out the Vision Community here on the Symantec Connect. https://www-secure....

By Rowan Trollope, Senior Vice President, Symantec.cloud

No doubt the cloud is becoming an increasingly popular delivery mechanism for often complicated and time-consuming IT tasks. Whether you are currently ready to move to cloud-based services or are just beginning to consider it, below are my six tips for ensuring a seamless move to cloud services. Ticking each box will ensure your organization can enjoy all the simplicity, affordability and efficiency the cloud has to offer.

  1. Bigger Isn’t Always Better: Research cloud service providers and you’ll find many large companies staking their claim on an increasingly crowded cloud market. The service provider’s reputation and how long they have been offering cloud services should trump size.  Look for a cloud specialist with reputable technology that knows the industry inside out.
     
  2. Understand Your Security Needs:  There has been...

Keynote Update

Go from Megastars to Megatrends at the Colosseum

This year, the Symantec Vision keynotes are happening on the very same stage where Elton John, Cher, Celine Dion, and dozens of other Vegas megastars have wowed audiences for years. And although it won't be easy, we're determined to make the content match the venue-with an unorthodox and entertaining keynote format, relevant discussions on the industry megatrends that affect you most, and a few unexpected surprises.
