NaviSite (News - Alert) will soon join the likes of more than 350 leading technology companies at Interop Las Vegas, an event that has been dubbed “the leading business technology event.”

Held from May 8-12 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Interop (News - Alert) affords participants the opportunity to learn about the full range of business technology issues, attend lectures from technology industry leaders and, this year, hear presentations from NaviSite leaders.

Today, cloud computing leader NaviSite – a premier provider of enterprise-class hosting, managed application, managed messaging and managed cloud services – announced that two of its executives will present at Interop.

Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Denis Martin will present at Interop's Enterprise Cloud Summit in the following sessions: “Consolidation and Differentiation: Clouds Start to Specialize” and “Under the Covers: NaviSite in 10 Minutes.”

The first presentation, which will take place Sunday, May 8, from 11:10 to 11:50 a.m., will include Martin as well as John Barnes, CTO of Model Metrics; Jeffrey Barr, senior Web services evangelist of Amazon; Zane Adam, general manager of Azure and Middleware of Microsoft (News - Alert) Corporation, and Jason Lochhead, CTO, Cloud Computing, Terremark Worldwide, Inc.

The presentation will highlight how the consolidation of public clouds is inevitable and how, in order to stay independent, providers will have to “differentiate themselves by focusing on specific customers, geographies, certifications, or service model.”

“This panel will look at the differentiation of cloud offerings, and what that means to enterprise customers seeking tailored solutions but fearing lock-in,” the presenters explain.

In the second presentation, held Sunday, May 8, from 2:20 to 2:30 p.m., Martin will discuss NaviSite's Managed Cloud Services pricing, capacity, service levels, data location and architecture.

On Tuesday, May 10, Allen Allison, chief security officer for NaviSite, will discuss the cloud computing company’s multi-pronged approach to cloud security in a presentation entitled, “The Great Debate: Are Clouds More Secure?” She will be joined by Alistair Croll, founder of Bitcurrent; John Pironti, president of IP Architects, LLC; Frank Kenney, vice president of global strategy of Ipswitch, and Ravi Rajagopal, vice president and client partner, Technology Management, CA Technologies (News - Alert), New York.

In other cloud computing news, NaviSite recently submitted a blog post for “InfoSecurity Magazine,” in which Allison contends that a cloud, whether it’s public or private, offers many benefits, such as having a lower total cost of ownership.

Allison explains that the debate about pubic versus private clouds “is not just about which solution is best” but that it “extends to the very definition of cloud.”
