Join iland for seminar on UK Cloud Adoption

Including a panel discussion with cloud industry experts from Cisco, techUK, Behind Every Cloud as well as an iland customer

LONDON, UK – 3rd June 2016 – iland, an award-winning enterprise cloud infrastructure provider, will be hosting a breakfast panel session on 24th June as part of London Technology Week. The event will bring together UK cloud industry experts from Cisco, techUK, Behind Every Cloud as well as cloud users to discuss how to overcome cloud security and compliance risks facing UK businesses and explore adoption strategies for ensuring success.

Sign up to attend this interactive breakfast panel session – where you will learn about UK cloud trends including:

• Adoption strategies across IaaS, SaaS and DRaaS,
• How to ensure cloud security and compliance in highly regulated industries
• A number of practical ways for modern IT teams to manage cloud successfully

Cloud used to be a trade-off between security and flexibility, and the often-confusing domain of providing audit documentation, interpreting regulatory requirements and answering security questions has led many to shy away from cloud usage. However, cloud-based security offerings provide advanced security without compromising control, visibility, or auditability.

iland also announced yesterday it has been named the 2016 Zerto Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Partner of the Year. This new award further validates iland’s strength in helping companies cost-efficiently protect business with proven cloud-based disaster recovery and expert support.

DATE: Friday 24th June 2016

TIME: 08.30am-10.30am
