Highlights

The term "Cloud Computing" has been around now for a few years and, from those heady early days when most of the traditional technology players derided the very validity of the concept - it's now an accepted industry term. Now that it's been validated, what does the future hold for the Cloud? What does it mean for the young startups being buffeted by mega vendor's marketing spend, and after all the spin has been spun, what does it mean for the future of our industry?
