NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 3, 2016) -  Light Reading (www.lightreading.com), the market-leading integrated media company serving the global communications sector, today takes flight for new frontiers with the launch of Light Reading Enterprise Cloud (http://www.lightreading.com/enterprise-cloud.asp).

Light Reading Enterprise Cloud serves Light Reading's traditional community of communications service providers, as well as a new base for Light Reading -- enterprise businesses -- as they make the transition to a new IT model. This exciting new community is sponsored by Mitel and Nuage Networks.

Light Reading's coverage will drill into all aspects of this exciting new world, including converged communications, cloud collaboration, outsourcing, data center design, SDN and NFV virtualization, cloud management, cloud analytics, open source and security, as well as the intersection of service provider and enterprise networks.

Light Reading's coverage of enterprise cloud will be differentiated by the same values that have always set Light Reading apart: fiercely independent and authoritative editorial, with focus on the business implications of technology rather than technology for its own sake.

The Editor of Light Reading Enterprise Cloud is Mitch Wagner, formerly Executive Editor of InformationWeek and an industry-renowned expert in enterprise as well as telecom.

Mitch has covered the enterprise and telecom industries for a quarter-century. Prior to launching Light Reading's Enterprise Cloud coverage, Mitch worked as West Coast Bureau Chief for Light Reading, where he led virtual networking coverage breaking news and insights about SDN and NFV, and Silicon Valley and other West Coast companies. Previously, he was Editor-in-Chief for Internet Evolution, and wrote for Computerworld, Open Systems Today and UNIX Today. He's based in San Diego.

"The cloud is a fundamental change in how IT is delivered for both enterprises and service providers," Wagner says. "Light Reading will shine a light for business leaders looking to navigate that difficult transition."
