I’ll be attending, on an occasional basis, Cloud Expo this week at the Javits Center in NYC.
Expect sporadic tweets and a few blog posts with accompanying photos.
Having never been to a cloud-centric event, I’m not sure what to make of its intensive agenda of seminars and generals sessions, whose subject matter has been promoted with titles such as “Beyond Storage and Compute”, “Clouds are Built from the Ground Up”, and the enticing “Best Practices for IT Executives”.
In other words, this is an enterprise focused gathering with subject matter meant for technologists and executives in the private sector.
I’ve not been to an IT-focused conference in some years, so I’m prepared for a barrage of buzzwords.
One of my goals for tomorrow is to understand the private cloud, which in spite of the marketing obfuscation, sounds pretty much like the corporate data centers I grew up with. I will get to the bottom of this!
