Mark Russinovich & Mark Minasi: How Disruptive is Cloud Computing, Really?

Everything happens so fast in the world of IT that talk of “disruption” is almost too mild. That’s why a gathering like Microsoft Ignite is so important. You get the facts and how-tos you need - and you also get some first-class insider information about what’s going to happen next.

For example: Mark Russinovich and Mark Minasi are teaming up for a session at Ignite where they’ll share their views on cloud computing disruption and what it means for IT pros and developers.

Mark Russinovich is CTO of Microsoft Azure. He has a unique inside perspective and he’s famous for speaking his mind, whether the news is good or bad. Mark Minasi brings his IT expertise and a view from the outside as a best-selling author, popular technology columnist, commentator, keynote speaker, and IT consultant. Mark has the unusual ability to take even the most technical topics, filter out the hype, add some humor, and then explain those topics in plain English.

This session promises to be a crowd favorite, as these two straight shooters are sure to come up with some surprising truths the rest of us should be thinking about.
