The lines separating where hosting ends and clouds begin are often blurry at best. The question is not a zero-sum equation, so this panel will focus on how clouds and hosting both compete with and complement each other. Who wins and who loses, as the broader market continues to grow? What trends are emerging in customer purchasing behavior? What technical capabilities, which previously were either not possible or not easily accessible (virtual machine live migration, BC/DR, among others), are changing the landscape? And what are customers asking for from providers as they look for ways to become more agile and cost-efficient?

Will the interest in Internet infrastructure blossom into more IPOs and M&A? What's holding back the sector, and what is needed to drive awareness forward?

With a front-row seat on the real world of security threats that face service providers and customers every day, our panelists will help guide us through the modern threat landscape of the Internet. Discussing attack trends, remediation strategies, prevention methods, and compliance concerns, this panel will cover how service providers are addressing common security concerns that face all service providers across the cloud and hosting markets, and present risks to the bottom line.
