Talk will focus on How to Securely Move to the Cloud

CenterBeam, Inc. announced today that it will be participating in the CIO Midmarket Summit to be held at the Montelucia Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona on December 4-6, 2011. CenterBeam will take part in a CIO Thought Leadership track focusing on How to Securely Move to the Cloud, together with client Scott Martin, CIO of Chipita America.

The CIO Midmarket Summit brings together C-level technology executives, analysts and IT solution providers to network and attend in-depth agenda sessions, including panel discussions, analyst Q&A sessions, roundtables and think tanks on the latest technology topics and trends.

With the event focus being on CIOs in Transition: The Shift From Cost Saver To Value Provider, Martin was hand-picked to share his innovative approach to leverage the cloud to deliver business value without compromising his security policies. His philosophy directly ties in with the track focus of the CIO challenge of creating flexibility and reducing complexity while still maintaining control, security and governance of the company’s assets.

“Scott is a recognized thought leader, and is well qualified to talk about his cloud strategy and experience, having made the decision to outsource his company’s infrastructure 7 years ago,” shares Shahin Pirooz, CenterBeam’s Executive Vice President, Engineering Operations & Chief Technology Officer. “He is laser focused on supporting business functionality and core activities that drive the business – and he continues to push the envelope, finding innovative ways to leverage the scalability, flexibility and efficiencies of cloud computing.”

The Thought Leadership session will break down the inhibitors that can keep CIOs awake at night and focus on the value that Private Cloud Computing can bring to the business. Points of discussion include:

• How to fully virtualize your assets and deliver policy-driven management
• Centralized management and automation: the key to efficiencies and cost savings in the business
• Resource pooling and dynamic resource allocation
• Becoming agile enough to support business growth
