Automation Through Cloud Computing
Automation through Cloud Computing
is a proven delivery platform for the data center. We will
discuss both a bottom up and a top approach, as both are
commonly applied. The presentation will include an update
on Cloud concepts and terms. We will focus on how test
automation in particular decreases manual labor in the data
center, allowing IT professionals to focus on more valuable
tasks.
Gary Wiseman started his IBM career in
development on what became the Power server in Austin, TX.
He designed workstations and 3D graphics cards and drivers.
Later he was the Chief Architect for the IBM IntelliStation,
IBM's X86 based workstation. He managed the architects of
IBM's X5 chipset. For the last 5 1/2 years he has served
as a Systems Architect in technical sales. He leads the
Cloud architects in the East Region.
Message
from the President
Last
month, well, last month was a bummer. We had great aspirations
of having an appearance by IBM's "Watson" in some form, but.....that
didn't happen...Live and learn, I did.
This month we're going to the cloud, and IBM's Gary Wiseman is going
to take us there. Gary started out designing workstations,
graphics cards, drivers...the hardware we take for granted. He
was the Chief Architect for IBM's IntelliStation, and he directed
the architects of IBM's X5 chipset. Gary has, for the last 5.5
years, been involved in technical sales as a Systems Architect.
Now Gary leads the "Cloud" architects in the East Region, bringing
us to a point where we're about to step away from conventional,
traditional computing...to where no one has gone before.
Sounds like science fiction, but it's not. The world is
changing and technology is changing rapidly. In the very near
future the computer you're programming--if you're programming--will
more than likely not be in the room down the hall, but "in The
Cloud." Scary? Sure is...
We need to know what's coming our way. We need to know how new
technology will change the seats we sit in, and the hats we wear at
work. Gary knows what's coming--he's developing and
implementing in The Cloud. Join us to get an idea what's
coming our way. "The Cloud" is here now, and growing.
We all need to know....
May The Force be with us!
