Living in the Cloud

The single most significant shift of the 21st Century is well underway – the advent and rise of Digital Business Ecosystems built in the Cloud, These rich and complex Cloud Ecosystems will be at the heart of every major trend in our business, economy, government, and society. Understanding and leveraging this trend will be one of the most challenging and important steps forward in how we build the future of how we live, work, and play. Cloud-based ecosystems will not only change the way we run today's business but create entirely new business models that we haven't even conceived of yet. Visibility, which was of extreme importance for traditional networks, is even more critical for cloud environments. From the growing importance of the cloud in creating a foundation for these new business models, to the increasing threat of cyber, to the mind-bending increase in data and the role of Cloud AI, Tom will take us over the digital waterfall to help us navigate the uncharted and tumultuous waters ahead. How tumultuous? Well, consider that by the end of this century we may well have more bits of data than atoms that make up the Earth!
