Cloud Expo 2010 West total show floor space increased from 20,000 sq. ft. in 2009 to over 100,000 sq. ft. in 2010 including the expo floor.
The expo floor will be open for four full days, November 1-4, 2010, in the Grand Ballrooms A through H.
Half of the Cloud Expo 2010 West exhibit space had already sold out during the last West Coast event in November 2009.
Cloud Expo is the world's leading Cloud-focused event since 2007, and is held five times a year, in New York City, Silicon Valley, Prague, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Reads: 15,973  By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in.

CloudCamp @ Cloud Expo is aimed at anyone working with, or interested in working with, cloud technologies.
"With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions," said CloudCamp co-founder Dave Nielsen, who will personally be facilitating the process on site at the Jacob Javits. "At CloudCamp," Nielsen continued, "participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing."  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

The World's Most Influential Blogs By Dustin Amrhein  Maybe I’m just a geek, but to me, in our ever growing, massively scaled enterprise computing landscape, there are few technologies that peak my interest like memory-based data grids. It is nothing short of amazing to see an increasing number of enterprises use these solutions in a myriad of ways, all to solve an old dilemma: How can one efficiently and cost-effectively scale data while preserving quality of service characteristics of the data such as performance, availability, consistency, and m... Sep. 2, 2010 10:53 AM EDT Reads: 126 | By Dana Gardner  Automation, policy-driven processes and best practices are offering more opportunities for optimizing virtualization so that server, storage, and network virtualization can move from points of progress into more holistic levels of adoption. Sep. 1, 2010 08:56 AM EDT Reads: 423 | By Mark O'Neill  I had a really good discussion with Kaitlin Brunsden from EbizQ on the topic of Cloud Security in general, and API Keys in particular.

We’ve been plowed under with 80+ percent humidity for months, and every once in a while the temperature dips to remind us that we’re in Wisconsin.
It is the last day of August, tomorrow is September, when cool and wet is supposed to start converging upon us. ... Aug. 31, 2010 05:00 PM EDT Reads: 425 | By Arjan de Jong  In many documents and introductions to cloud computing we have been shown what the Cloud really means and what is possible to do inside it. Things that have been covered have been what systems make up the cloud right up to applications and services running in it.
This blog entry aims to covers another aspect and that is computation in the Cloud. Aug. 31, 2010 09:45 AM EDT Reads: 478 | By Cloud Ventures  Cloud computing is such a powerful investment area for government because not only can it modernize their IT and therefore enhance their business processes and reduce their own operating costs, but this same platform can also boost technology-enabled public innovation across a broader national capacity.
This can be aligned to government programs to create more of an ‘Innovation Nation’ program, such as the UK program of the same name. This encompasses aspects such as ICT skills and programs i... Aug. 31, 2010 09:30 AM EDT Reads: 527 |
