IT organizations are moving from infrastructure providers to infrastructure brokers and auditors. In this panel, moderated by Nancy Gohring, editor in chief for FierceMarkets– enterprise IT publications, Cynthia Thomas and other industry experts from Nouvola, LiveAction and GoDaddy will discuss how to ensure users are getting the most out of their subscriptions, as well as how to orchestrate dependent services from different providers.

Cynthia is a member of the Systems Engineering team at Midokura. She enjoys highlighting the emerging technologies in network virtualization as application needs evolve. Her background in networking hardware spans from Telecommunications to Data Center and Campus/Enterprise solutions.

Cynthia has earned a number of professional certifications, including: Alcatel-Lucent Network Routing Specialist II (NRS II) written certification exams, Brocade Certified Ethernet Fabric Professional (BCEFP), Brocade Certified IP Network Professional (BCNP), and VMware Technical Sales Professional (VTSP) 5 certifications.
