Guide to Enterprise Cloud Computing

Michael Morisy Profile: Michael Morisy

Here at ITKnowledgeExchange, we’ve been working furiously to bring together the best resources on what’s in store for cloud computing in 2010. It is, after all, a rather pie-in-the-sky concept and it’s impossible to even define what “cloud computing” means without stepping on someone’s toes. In fact, in a recent discussion with an analyst, I was told that cloud computing was progressing despite its image: When pared down to a specific offering (Backup-as-a-Service, for example) the cloud became much more palatable than general “software-as-a-service” offerings in opinion polls of IT buyers.

We’ll dive into why, and the who, what, where, and when, throughout the rest of February, and in the meantime take a look through this guide to cloud computing and let me know what’s helpful and what you would like to know more about.
