NEW YORK, Jan. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The 21st Century Cloud Infrastructure Revolution is the single largest communications transformation of all time.

(Grand View Research, Inc.)

The new site – Silverlinings – is led by award-winning digital entrepreneur Steve Saunders. It builds on Questex’s established and successful Q Way content model and adds editorial capabilities that will be leveraged across Questex. The site will cover the technologies and strategies that underpin successful cloud infrastructure deployment and the opportunities and risks. It will provide independent analysis, strategy and insight that will assist cloud network architects to separate reality from hype, untangle the complexities of cloud infrastructure, and highlight the cultural changes required for cloud adoption. The site will launch on January 5 at silverliningsinfo.com.

In addition, Silverlinings will offer virtual summits. Topics include: Cloud Data Center Strategies, Multicloud Interoperability, and Cloud Management and Security. 

The Silverlinings team will be part of the Questex Technology group led by Market Leader Kevin Gray. Questex has attracted top talent with critical skill sets to deliver content that reflects this dynamic new market, in engaging multimedia formats preferred by users of cloud infrastructure technology.

“An essential element of our strategy is to focus on our core sectors and extend leadership positions through organic growth and the acquisition of new capabilities and assets. Silverlinings perfectly complements and expands our Technology group,” said Paul Miller, CEO, Questex. “Whether integrating new and old technology, providing security, improving visibility, merging public and private clouds, avoiding cloud lock-in, managing edge networks, and deploying 5G into the cloud, Silverlinings fills a gap in the market and will deliver insights on of why cloud infrastructure is not an enterprise or telecom market, but an everything market.”
