ISC Cloud'12 - HPC & Big Data Meet Cloud

While cloud computing is gaining traction for enterprise computing, the suitability of such centralized computing resources for meeting the demand for high performance computing (HPC) and big data continues to be widely discussed and analyzed. On September 24-25, 2012 cloud computing experts and end-users from around the world will gather at the 3rd ISC Cloud Conference at the Dorint Hotel in Mannheim, Germany. The conference will focus on compute and data intensive applications, their resources needs in the cloud, and strategies on implementing and deploying cloud infrastructures, for industry and academia.
