Description

The presentation will describe research work in HP Laboratories on providing secure cloud infrastructure services. The talk will cover some of the issues, both legal and technical, that enterprises and government face when considering the use of cloud computing within their core IT systems. It will then describe a prototype system, known as Cells-as-a-Service, that has been developed in HP Laboratories to provide some of the guarantees that are required for widespread adoption by this customer group.
