Conference Overview

About Cloud Computing

SOTC 2010 - State of the Cloud

Cloud Computing is an Internet-based process of providing remote hosted services through pay-as-you-go pricing. Usually requiring only a computer with an Internet connection, users can go into the Cloud—a handy metaphor for the Internet and on-demand services, such as data storage or software use. Many providers offer infrastructure, platform, or software services—managed and scaled to meet specific business needs.

Cloud Computing provides a new, powerful way for companies to rethink their IT solutions and operations—cutting costs and enabling new, powerful capabilities. Like any technological advance, Cloud Computing raises legitimate questions and concerns, all explored at the State of the Cloud Executive Conference.
