from Miscellaneous Group
This event has passed.
Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 1:00pm - 5:30pm
What is cloud computing? Is there one cloud, or many? Where are they, who owns them - and what are the differences between cloud computing, utility computing, grid computing, and software as a service? What can the cloud do for you now, and what lies over the horizon?
Participants in this all-afternoon event will leave with a comprehensive picture of the most ambitious current applications of cloud computing and the field's future promise. We'll also provide authoritative advice, both constructive and cautionary, that you can use if you're thinking about entering the cloud computing space yourself - whether as an investor, a customer, or an entrepreneur.
