Panel Topics:
• Business Driving Data Center Optimization -- What Works, What Doesn’t When Managing Change?
Panelists will discuss best practices to optimization, roadblocks they overcame or avoided. Is history repeating itself from 15 years ago? Will there be limited success or mass appeal to moving to a business driven data center, a private or public cloud, a revamped fee for service/Center of Excellence model? Is the federal government ready? Are the business drivers strong enough? Do mandates work?

• Architecting the Business Solutions
Panelists will discuss the models that they have used or are looking at for crafting the right business solution. Questions such as buy v. lease, private v. public cloud, security v. transparency, performance requirements will be addressed. Where do the technologists fit in v. business owners?
