Virtual computing has changed the way companies operate. The physical web farm, with load balancers and monitoring on site, is quickly becoming a thing of the past. With technologies like Amazon’s EC2, companies can quickly and flexibly scale their operations to an almost infinite proportion.

With virtualization though comes a complex series of management requirements. When you don’t have physical access to the machines your company relies on, how do you balance web traffic, and ensure proper monitoring and failover procedures?

Tom Daly, CTO and President of Dynamic Network Services, will look at technologies that exist today to help companies actively manage their cloud through outages, traffic spikes, and unpredictable growth. With more than a decade of direct technology experience, Mr. Daly is responsible for the development and management of Dyn Inc’s own network as well as serving the technological needs of more than 2 million customers through DynDNS and Dynect.
