Cloud Computing Expo: Crown Jewel of the Industry

This week kicked off the Cloud Computing Expo in Santa Clara, California.  The Expo was created based on the assertion that “cloud computing is taking over enterprise I.T.” Over 150 top industry leaders from the Cloud Computing industry gave talks. The Industry is estimated to be worth 120 Billion dollars in the global market- not too shabby.

The term “cloud computing” was coined in 2007 and has risen in popularity quickly in the past few years. Meeting places like the Expo are necessary as the industry and its entrepreneurs move “from theory into practice.” Cloud Computings rise to prominence has caused major industry growth and many entrepreneurs have had to continue the learning process while they grew their business. The conference provides a unique platform for learning as much as networking.

“Through an intensive four-day schedule of keynotes, general and breakout sessions, and our bustling Expo Floor – that attending delegates leave with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the scalability of their Enterprise IT endeavors.”
