CloudSeminar, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 2009
September 1, 2009 – 11:22 am
We held our first CloudSeminar event on 29th September at Newcastle University. The event was attended by over 150 people.
Make no mistake, ‘the cloud’ is going to be disruptive to IT. It offers significant threats to market incumbents but huge opportunities to new entrants and established companies that respond quickly. CloudSeminar was run so that we can understand some of the compelling reasons for using cloud computing.
We had several presentations from people with background in the academic sector, large business, micro business and two IT vendors. The presentations can be viewed on-line by clicking on the images below:
- Paul Watson: Understanding the public cloud
- Simone Brunozzi: Understanding the Cloud
- Ian Clark and Stuart Lynn: Sage, Our customers and the Cloud
- Steve Caughey: Building a Private Cloud for Rozmic
Unfortunately neither Matt Deacon’s or my speech was caught on camera, but you can download the presentations here:
