BACKGROUND:
According to the research firm IDC, Cloud computing was an estimated $47.4 billion industry in 2013 and is expected to more than double to $107 Billion by 2017. The cloud's 23.5% compound annual growth rate is five times faster than that of the broader technology market.Cisco, Forrester and Forbes predict that all the material on the Internet for marketing — video, text, audio, and everything in between — will be encompassed within the cloud and will be fully integrated by 2016. Based on these estimates, marketing needs for virtual space will balloon to 3.3 terabytes per user in two years.
The needs have never been greater for developers, programmers and architects to advance their knowledge, capabilities and skill-sets in order to profit from this revolutionary transformation in the business processes of the future. The Cloud Computing Association (CCA) and the Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA) have joined together to respond to these needs by presenting the CLOUD DEVELOPERS SUMMIT & EXPO 2014, October 1st & 2nd in one of the nation’s most vibrant and technologically innovative cities: AUSTIN, TEXAS.
