Pete Malcolm, CEO of Abiquo, delivered the keynote presentation at the third
and final day of the Fifth International Cloud Expo, being held at the Javits
Center in New York. He spoke about the difficulties faced by IT

Call for Papers is now open! Reads: 14,914  By Ellen Rubin 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?

Reads: 10,093  By John Savageau Having gone through a couple of decades worth of technology conferences, a familiar cycle occurs.

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.
