Hello <<Salutation>> Reader,
We are excited to announce the ISC Cloud & Big Data’s conference keynote speaker, Dr. Jan Vitt who is the Head of IT Infrastructure at DZ Bank. Dr Vitt will be sharing how he surpassed hurdles to successfully install the bank’s own private clouds in his presentation titled “Cloud Computing in a Conservative German Bank – Still a Long Way to Go?”.
DZ Bank is the fourth largest cooperative bank in Germany and it supports the business activities of over 900 other cooperative banks. Its IT division operates several private cloud services internally and also uses the services of some public clouds. DZ Bank opted for private cloud as they were very concerned about data security. The regulatory authorities such as the European Central Bank and German Bafin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) also have very strict regulations regarding IT outsourcing making it impossible to employ the services of professional cloud providers.
We look forward to announcing other keynote sessions soon.
Best regards,
 
Martin and Thomas Meuer
Co-chairs
