Titled "What Lies Beneath – Technologies Critical to Successful Cloud Computing," the discussion focuses on the infrastructure that supports the cloud, such as servers, storage, virtualization, automation, chargeability, self service, and security.

The three panelists from EMC, Intel and Unisys, are as follows:

Daniel Weiss is a Director in the IT Management Advisory Support team at Unisys - a group of former IT executives from global companies with extensive experience in managing and transforming large scale IT operations. He joined Unisys in February 2008 from Dow Jones and Company, Inc. where he was Director of Shared Storage Services. In 1999, he was part of the original team of Factiva - a highly successful business information startup that was eventually solely acquired by Dow Jones and Company, Inc. in 2007.
