Over the past couple years I have written several stories with “frog
soup” as a main theme. The idea of being in cold water, and not recognizing

As we end 2009 and prepare for the next decade there seems to be a nagging

concrete proof. A question that seems to be becoming more important then
ever. The question is simple yet profound in its implications as a global
citizen, is cloud computing actually environmentally friendly?
First, I will admit, I am among th... (more)
Sometimes it is important to reflect back on activities and achievements of
the past year in order to focus on the road ahead. 2009 was a year full of

Call for Papers is now open! Reads: 6,915  The talk at the Cloud Computing Expo this week in Santa Clara was all about enterprise cloud adoption. Is it real? Is it already happening? If so, who’s doing it, which applications are they running and which clouds are being tested? To a large extent, cloud computing is a victim of its own somewhat out-of-control hype cycle.

Cloud is now officially past the engineering phase, well into the sales phase – and the business community is scrambling to understand the implications of a virtualized world.
