Alessandro Musumeci: "Migration is nearing the closing stretch, towards maximum system management efficiency".
"In the wake of the many conferences, seminars and round tables on the importance of the Cloud, and on how and why it has become absolutely necessary for businesses to implement cloud computing, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group has decided to strongly accelerate the debate under way in this country by implementing an innovative project that goes well beyond the purely technological aspects of the issue. Alessandro Musumeci, Central IT Systems Manager at Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group, is very much convinced of this and quickly clarifies that the decision to implement cloud computing is organizational rather than technical..."
"... in the space of less than three years we have built up one of the most innovatory cloud offerings in Italy today. AlmavivA had already launched a project back in 2009, aimed at making cloud computing available, in the form of services and state-of-the-art technologies, thus achieving the objective of changing the way its provides its services by optimizing delivery and improving the services in a transparent manner for our clients. For AlmavivA, cloud computing has now reached maturity, as a technology, and is ready for broader circulation, consistently with the forecasts of a constant 30% growth per year until 2014. AlmavivA is also tackling certain criticalities that are still affecting cloud technology: service continuity, privacy and, in particular, data/information security. Because, at AlmavivA, we have the skills, references and technological infrastructure to achieve this".
