SYS-CON Events announced today that Patrick Harr, Founder of Cloud Strategy Group, will be presenting at the upcoming Cloud Computing Expo Europe (www.cloudexpo-europe.com) May 18-19, 2009, in Prague, Czech Republic, the first industry-leading international Cloud Computing event outside the USA.
His session will be entitled "The Perfect Strategy for the Cloud."
Patrick Harr founded the Cloud Strategy Group after successfully starting, leading and exiting several technology startups. Most recently, he helped pioneer the emerging cloud storage market as founder and CEO of Nirvanix, a leading cloud storage provider. While at Nirvanix, Harr developed the business plan and go-to-market strategy, raised $18M in venture funding, built the team, launched the worldwide storage delivery network and CloudNAS (virtual NAS gateway) and secured over 600 customers including General Electric, CSC, CDNetworks, The Planet, NASA and Arizona State University among others.

The Perfect Strategy for the Cloud
With the evolution of the cloud, it's not hard to see why so many young startups are jumping into the arena. The key for many companies looking to implement effective cloud computing/storage solutions is how to differentiate one from another within a crowded space. A hot button topic within the market place is the debate of public vs. private clouds, which is better? Which is more cost-effective? This session will focus on the private vs. public cloud debate and what companies need to look for when selecting a cloud provided, ranging performance to economies of scale.

Cloud Computing Expo New York (March 30 - April 1) attracted record participation
