Two Oracle executives, Richard Sarwal and Hazan Rizvi, were set to deliver the opening keynote at the fifth International Cloud Expo at the Javits Center in New York.

Their topic will be Cloud Computing's "Coming of Age" as it is increasingly integrated into Enterprise IT in organizations throughout the world.

"Enterprise IT must constantly evolve to respond to rapidly changing business requirements and new technologies," they wrote in preparation for the conference. "Cloud computing promises to accelerate that evolution with far-reaching, convergent principles such as self-service, pay-for-use, rapid deployment, elastic scalability and efficient management of physical and virtual environments."
