A recent study by market research company IDC revealed that around 75% of the companies surveyed intend to increase their spending on virtualization technologies even further in the future.



More agility, mobility, cost reduction, application and data security - just a small selection of the areas that can be optimized with cloud computing and virtualization. The challenges are huge, as is the variety of solutions on offer.



The IT-BUSINESS Academy is therefore organizing the "VIRTUALIZATION & CLOUD COMPUTING" conference for the fifth time. It will once again give interested solution partners and IT decision-makers the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information on these topics in just one day.



In keynotes, independent experts will provide answers to the most important questions about virtualization and cloud computing in all its facets. Practice-oriented breakout sessions will deal with concrete solutions based on three reference scenarios.



The conference series will take place on June 7 in Frankfurt/Hanau, June 9 in Munich, June 15 in Hamburg and June 21 in Düsseldorf/Neuss.
