Enterprise Cloud Computing Event

I am going to be running a panel at an upcoming Enterprise Cloud Computing event sponsored by my employer and Sun on Nov. 17th.  More information on my panel will be released soon, but in general, it's about REALLY using cloud computing, not just talking about it.  Some great folks have signed up to attend already and the panels and presentations should be interesting.

Further details are available at the company blog:

Hope to see some of you there!

Cloudy Issues / Clear Answers: the benefits and challenges

I recently had the opportunity to present on the topic of Cloud Computing from the perspective of my employer—SmarterTools, an independent developer of Web-based applications. It was at PubCon in Las Vegas and I sat on a panel with Mike Culver from Amazon Web Services. My take was to separate truth from hype.

The feedback was overwhelming! So much so that we followed it up with an article and a copy of the presentation:

As Cloud Computing gains market share and market buzz, it is important for us to remember what it really is and—perhaps more importantly—what it really isn’t.

Be well,
