Pearson's operations team has set out to solve the problem many large enterprises have -- how to integrate existing operations while taking advantage of the cloud. Jeff and Anthony from Pearson will tell the story of how they are making any cloud provisioned infrastructure as easy to manage as a physical counterpart through a 1-click integration process that includes their existing asset database, configuration management and monitoring server. They will demonstrate their process live during their presentation.
