READING, England, May 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- With Cloud positioned as the next logical step to optimise hosting infrastructure and reduce operational costs, DediPower Managed Hosting aims to help CIOs and CFOs cut through the hype and clarify how 'Cloud can work for them'. It is holding a special user event called Demystifying the Cloud, at the Science Museum at 10am on 20th May 2010, as part of its campaign to champion intelligent Cloud development and migration.

Spencer Kelly, television personality and anchor-man, will act as MC for event which will feature an industry address by Gareth Cadwallader, business entrepreneur and Chair of the IT DDP; and a keynote presentation from Spencer Gallagher, CEO of Bluhalo, outlining his experience going-live with Private Cloud. Various Cloud options will be explored by Robert Belgrave, solutions architect, DediPower, who will also reveal how to begin the audit process and select the best solution for your business.

Presentations will be followed by a QA panel session featuring Cloud users and experts including:

- Steven Reynolds, Web-Services Manager, Sony - Nick Halstead, CEO Tweetmeme - Andrew McCormick, Deputy Editor, Revolution Magazine - Spencer Gallagher, CEO Bluhalo - Robert Belgrave, Solutions Architect, DediPower

Commenting on the rationale behind the event, Craig Martin CEO of DediPower explains, There is a lot of confusion around Cloud in the marketplace, which is preventing many organisations from taking the first steps towards more effective, higher performance and reliable hosting. We want to help them forge a path through the hype; to create pragmatic, intelligent solutions that work for them and their business. And, we want to show them how to anchor their Cloud infrastructure in solid support processes and SLAs that will ensure successful transition, optimum performance and the best possible return on investment.

Places are limited and attendance at the event is by pre-registration only. The event runs from 1030 till 1215 and is followed by a networking lunch finishing at 1430.
