Flying through clouds: what you should know about cloud computing.

This location is shown only to members

This talk will build upon the research that TSC has been doing regarding cloud computing and the issues that still plague users and vendors. Most people think of clouds and they think white, pure and fluffy. TSC has discovered that when you talk about cloud computing it's neither white or pure but many claims are quite puffy. TSC has been following cloud services and related technology for quite a while and Mark Kadrich will be discussing why you should be interested, and what you should be interested in if you are considering using or deploying cloud based services either personally or in your enterprise.

    I thought it was very worthwhile. It clarified and articulated many vague concerns I had about this "next big thing." The cloud is a very powerful alternative AND it has to be managed very actively.
