Event Details

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?

Find out from an elite group of cloud-computing experts at Xconomy's June 24 forum. 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.
