Wednesday, May 27th, 2009After my Interop session “Lots to Love, Less to Use: How Enterprises Can Embrace the Cloud” I sort of hit the jackpot.

Unified Ontology of Cloud Computing
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009There, I said it out loud. Seems like many of the cloud experts are embroiled in a Arthurian quest to define the perfect taxonomy for cloud computing. Personally, I’m happy with the original SPI model (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS). However, as I have stated many times, it is not a perfect definition. Recently, David Linthicum wrote [...]

Who Coined The Phrase Cloud Computing?
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008Chris Sears, one of Atlanta’s finer cloud enthusiasts has earned some battle scars on the forums discussing the topic of “Cloud Computing”.
