very few have actually deployed this model due to on-going compatibility, security
concerns or data management issues. This session will highlight how the Virtustream
xStream Hybrid Cloud is able to enable CIOs to say "YES" to every IT project the business
needs to succeed.

Intel booth #1029
Wednesday, August 28, at 10:30 a.m.
On-going compatibility and security concerns are the key challenges that prevent CIOs
from developing hybrid cloud strategies. When a hybrid cloud is deployed properly, the
mix of CAPEX and OPEX provides CIOs with access to nearly unlimited resources at
different prices points, and with consistent levels of security and visibility into projects.
This session will outline how to build out a comprehensive cloud strategy using
Virtustream’s xStream Hybrid Cloud.
