Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Yankee Group Senior Analyst Agatha Poon to present today at 4th Cloud Computing Expo next week in Santa Clara, CA

Cloud Computing Expo on Ulitzer

Yankee group published a report last August to share its definition of cloud computing with the industry.

According to Yankee, while cloud computing has yet to reach mainstream popularity in the corporate world, CTOs are strategically reviewing various deployment models with great interest.

"On the supply side, interviews with cloud-enabled providers reveal that there are a lot of activities already underway to support enterprises of all kinds," notes Agatha Poon, who this coming week will be speaking at the 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

In essence, according to Poon, Yankee Group defines cloud computing as ” dynamically scalable, virtualized information services delivered on demand over the Intenet with multitenant capability, service-level agreements (SLAs) and usage-based pricing.” 

The report, she says, goes on to discuss the core components of cloud computing used in this definition.

Based on real-world case studies, this session by Agatha Poon will identify key operational imperatives including location, regulatory support, security, and interoperability that help shaping a scalable, global cloud infrastructure, and its timeline.

The 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo is co-located with the 7th International Virtualization Conference & Expo and will be taking place November 2-4, 2009 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA.
