Interop Forecast - Cloudy With A Strong Chance of Reign

Interop Vegas 2011 gets going for real tomorrow, with several keynotes that just might prove memorable and a conference session on just how secure the cloud really is at 2:15.

Dave Donatelli in the Enterprise Servers group at HP will kick things off at 8am with a talk about implications of cloud access for corporate nets.

Mark Templeton of Cisco follows, discussing how user expectations are driving the new paradigm, as apps transform from enterprise driven bloats to easy, cheap micro-apps.

Then, it's Old Home Week with Vint Cerf and Dan Lynch talking about how we got here and what the future Internet will look like as a network.

Later, Cisco will talk more about network convergence and the cloud.

And that's just the morning stuff.  At 1, Azure Guy Zane Adam will talk about the possibilities of a cheap, accessible public cloud.  Alex Gray of Juniper will talk about virtualization and what is bound to be the next buzzword, Fabric.  And Scott Hopkins of IBM will discuss business transformational aspects of the cloud.

But the hottest session tomorrow, in the wake of the Amazon outage - a Don't Miss - is bound to be the conference pres on whether the cloud is secure or not, following the afternoon keynotes at 2:15.
