Overview: Cloud computing is big news, promising unlimited capacity and pay-as-you-go economics, plus connections to an always-on world. Enterprises are excited about cloud computing. However, little of it is ready to use yet. Forrester Research's James Staten addresses the hurdles that clouds present to the enterprise, including the disconnect between business users, who want access, and IT staffers, who don't. Staten further discusses the security risks and the need to rewrite many enterprise applications so they can run on scalable clouds. Licensing is complicated, and privacy's a concern.

Interop's Enterprise Cloud Summit is a no-holds-barred reality check to help CIOs and senior IT management better understand enterprise cloud computing.
