The Time is Now: HyperscalersIn looking back over the course of our 15 year history of creating an annual occasion for the entire spectrum of the cloud, hosting and in-ternet service provider space to come together to make great things happen, there exists one fundamental element that has been par-amount to achieving our combined success: partnership. Because we firmly believe in the competitive advantage it offers, we have de-signed our festivals to ensure a high level of interaction and engage-ment that makes opportunities for collaboration a genuinely attain-able objective. For 2019, we see this through the lens of a dynamic marketplace exacting demands that are diverse and increasing all the time; and you, as the cloud infrastructure and web hosting pro-viders, ISVs and MSPs, are being challenged to respond with flexible and cost-effective solutions that make the lives of your customers easier and better.

The expectations are undoubtedly high; however, we are confident that hyperscalers can be your future’s best answer. We invite you to join us in exploring what that future has to offer.

Hyperscaling in Hyper-DriveHyperscalers are set to solve one of the most fundamental problems facing the world of internet technology - complexity. A recent study conducted by Gartner Inc. anticipates that the top ten infrastructure service providers, the hyperscalers, will account for nearly 70 percent of the market by 2021, a jump up from 50 percent in 2016. As the technology landscape continues to evolve and user needs mature, hyperscalers are poised to continue reshaping the face of the market as we know it, and servicing it is steeped in opportunity. We see this time as a critical juncture in the industry, a time where service provid-ers should no longer look to hyperscalers as the competition, but to welcome them as a vital partner.

Investing in the FutureCloudFest takes a fundamental shift in 2019, focusing our event around the central theme of hyperscale enablement. In so doing, ex-pect to mix company with a handful of the most globally recognized hyperscale operators who are ready to share the opportunities that exist in the channel partner space, and outline strategies for how to forge profitable partnerships. Large-scale companies will share their insights and experiences since moving away from internal infrastruc-ture systems into hyperscaling, providing you with actionable intel-ligence. As we make sure to hit other important trends, our festival will also look at themes such as cybersecurity, AI, and blockchain, as well as other emerging markets. Our event then goes further, offering bootcamps, hackathons, workshops, pitch sessions, and networking occasions that are designed to make a real difference, all while hav-ing a whole lot of fun.

We encourage you to flip through our brochure to get a sense of the kinds of experiences we will put forward that are intended to lay the groundwork for your ongoing success. They say that opportunity only knocks once, but we are part of the camp that believes it’s better to build the door. That is what CloudFest is all about, the door of oppor-tunity that is just waiting for you to walk on through.

CloudFest 2019 welcomes you.

Welcome to CloudFest

CloudFest 2019 At-A-Glance

CloudFest is the world’s largest, week-long gathering of decision-makers operating within the web hosting and cloud infrastructure space. Serving as an essential link within the cloud services demand chain, service providers have before them a tremendous opportunity to provide new solutions for their customers by aligning with the key drivers of the internet infrastructure space - hyperscalers. For 2019, our themed festival focuses on hyperscale en-ablement, showcasing “the hows and whys” of leveraging this technology as a clear path of growth for the service provider space.

Date March 23-29, 2019

Location Europa-Park (Rust, Germany) stands as Europe’s most exciting and popular theme park. Centrally located at the in-tersection of France, Germany, and Swit-zerland, this state-of-the-art facility is perfectly suited for the demands of our growing festival.

Who You Are Likely to Meet 7,000+ professionals from some of the world’s largest and leading hosting and cloud service providers, domain regis-trars / registries, hyperscalers, infrastruc-ture providers, internal IT departments, system integrators, telecoms, VAR’s.

What CloudFest Offers

ExhibitionCloudFest 2019’s trade show floor will welcome over 200 global partners, in a vendor-neutral space, showcasing some of the latest technologies and innovations to hit the market. Face-to-face is by far the best way to engage oth-ers in your products, and with 7000+ professionals eager to do business with you, it’s no wonder so many brands use CloudFest as the launch pad for their latest solutions. Becoming an exhibition partner of CloudFest is not only easy but makes sound business sense. Learn more on page 16.

For 2019, our keynote addresses will have a distinctive message, focused around our central theme of hyperscale enablement. Compelling panels are also a part of our line-up, exploring such trending topics such as cyber-security, AI, and privacy. New programming that includes a host of interactive workshops is also booked to add even further value to your experience.

Why Hyperscalers

Hyperscaler enablement is a central theme throughout our 2019 event, offering content to illustrate how channel partnerships can be a viable means for service providers to reshape and ultimately grow their business:

♦ Opportunity in profit: Hyperscale partnerships open up the potential to make money from varying streams of the demand and value chains

♦ Opportunity in the market expansion: As organizations move from an analog to digital means of working, hy-perscalers have arrived to fill the gap, and that contin-ues to grow

♦ Opportunity in development tools: In terms of efficiency and features, the hyperscale cloud has the most signif-icant developers and will consistently outpace on fea-ture richness; clearly it makes sense to leverage it

♦ Opportunity in trust: Cloud is outsourcing. It’s easy to trust a hyperscaler on infrastructure, while continuing to trust a channel partner on management and systems design

Smaller-scale service providers still make up 50 percent of the overall cloud services marketplace, but that num-ber is rapidly shrinking. Why? Because they are pursuing hyperscale partnerships now! Many of the noteworthy hy-perscalers are organizing dedicated conferences. A path of accessibility, however, does not exist for providers who have yet to decide upon a partner or for those who seek to understand the dynamics of working with multiple hyper-scalers in a single environment. CloudFest aims to create that path of access for you.

9

♦ The worldwide public cloud services market is project-ed to grow 21.4 percent in 2018 to a total of $186.4 bil-lion, up from $153.5 billion in 2017.

♦ The fastest growing segment of the market is the cloud infrastructure services (IaaS), which is forecast to grow 35.9 percent in 2018 to reach $40.8 billion

♦ Forecasters predict that the top 10 providers, hyperscal-ers, will account for close to 70 percent of the IaaS mar-ket by 2021, up from 50 percent in 2016.

(Source: Gartner Inc.)

♦ Synergy Research Group has identified 24 companies that meet its definition of hyperscale. In 2016 those companies in aggregate accounted for 68 percent of the cloud infrastructure services market (IaaS, PaaS, pri-vate hosted cloud services) and 59 percent of the SaaS market. In 2012 those hyperscale operators accounted for just 47 percent of each of those markets.

♦ Hyperscale cloud / data center capital expenditures in the first quarter saw a new high, reaching $27 billion for the first three months of 2018.

Partnership

While we believe that attending CloudFest is an industry “must” for online service providers, we consider exhibi-tion to be the best way to add genuine value to your ex-perience. In years past, we have consistently partnered with some of the top companies to bring our event to life, and we see this year to be like no other. By welcoming such a large and diverse group of global participants to our 2019 conference, it is undoubtedly through exhibition that your company has the opportunity to effectively pro-mote your products and solutions to our engaged and ea-ger audience.

Each of our pack-ages come with a host of varying benefits, but in the end they are all designed to do one thing - generate maxi-mum exposure for your brand.

Divided into a series of two jury sessions, this program will welcome SMB’s to the stage (or what we refer to as the CloudFest Lion’s Den!) to present their product and you, as the expert panelist, to share real-world advice on bringing it to market. Day one is an early stage day. Are you an SMB who has a solution-concept on paper but struggling to pull the piec-es together to make it a genuinely great product? Or are you early on in your launch stage and just need a little more feedback? Day two is a mid-stage day. Seeking a new channel of dis-tribution for your product? Transport your add-ons, solu-tions, and revenue opportunities to CloudFest and pitch them before a jury of experts. Learn on-the-spot if your product has got what it takes!

Workshop / Bootcamp (Circus Celebration)Provide a deep dive into your company’s brand during this 3-hour dedicated bootcamp. Hosting up to 50 peo-ple, this event supplies partners with the perfect venue in which to communicate the essentials of who you are and what you do.

2019 New Concepts

Actively searching out ways to innovate our festival is par-amount in making CloudFest a genuinely unique occasion every year. In looking ahead to 2019, we have put our heads together to develop a series of new experiences that offer companies something fresh and imaginative while adding exceptional value. Whether focused on networking, lead generation or just having fun, we’ve got you covered.

Speed NetworkingThe notion of speed dating dates back to the late 90’s, and despite jumping into the corporate world, its fundamentals remain very much intact: to meet new people and open up new opportunities. Welcome to speed.NETWORKING. Un-derstanding that connecting with like-minded professionals is one of the most critical activities to occur during Cloud-Fest, we are pleased to launch another important initiative to ensure you can truly maximize your engagement. Our speed.NETWORKING event series will take place over the course of two days and will see each participant take part in regulated, one-on-one (three minutes each) discussions before time is called to move on for talks with the next at-tendee. Each of our four sessions will focus on an important topic relevant to the cloud space, acting as an unique and compelling way to broaden the exposure of your company to a group of eager professionals.

Shisha Bar‘No Smoking Allowed’ rules don’t apply here because for 2019, CloudFest is launching its new shisha bar! Join us here, and you will find yourself transported to an occasion wrapped in the cultural phenomenon that is dripping in all things shisha! Imagine kicking back into large overstuffed chairs, Moroccan music playing in the background and a ro-bust array of flavored tobaccos just waiting to be sampled via our vast supply of the coolest hookah pipes around. Looking for some outside space? Well, our bar also features a covered patio that allows you to dabble in all the fruity, minty and floral offerings out in the wide, open air. We are calling this the hippest meetup joint around.

Arena of Football (Private Event)Interested in having your very own pop-up event at Cloud-Fest? Well, the Arena of Football is the place to do just that in the spirit of all things football! We are excited to debut this cool “bubble” bar for companies thinking about show-ing up at CloudFest via a personalized event for employ-ees, partners, and friends. Strategically placed right in the middle of the park, Arena of Football offers visitors large screen TV’s, a monster-sized bar and even bumper cars! So let your imagination take you away because this little slice of football heaven provides all you need to have one rip-roaring good time.
