SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/01/12 --

WHAT:
ServiceMesh, provider of the market-leading cloud application management platform for Global 2000 companies, today announced that Dave Roberts, ServiceMesh's senior vice president of business development & platform ecosystem, and Anthony Skipper, ServiceMesh's vice president of security and integration, will present a range of enterprise cloud adoption best practices at this year's Interop Las Vegas, May 6-10, at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas.

During the Enterprise Cloud Summit - Cloud Platforms track, Dave Roberts will present "Free-Market Cloud Computing: Avoiding Stalinist Failures in Your Cloud Operating Model."

Dave Roberts will also participate on a panel discussion, "The Great Debate: Companies That Don't Embrace Big Data are Doomed."

Anthony Skipper will present "Avoiding the Dark Side of the Cloud - Real World Implementation Lessons."

WHY:
Cloud-enabled IT transformation is a strategic opportunity to change current enterprise IT operating models to become more agile and cost effective while enabling greater business innovation and speed to market. However many enterprises that are pursuing cloud computing initiatives today fail to grasp the broader impact that governance, lifecycle management and organizational change have on the ultimate success and business value of those cloud initiatives. Therefore, it's critical for cloud advocates and project owners within the enterprise to understand how to avoid or overcome the governance, security and operational hurdles they may face as they pursue their enterprise cloud strategy.
