Structure 09: Put Cloud Computing To Work

GigaOM has organized an exciting event on cloud computing, Structure 09, on 06/25/2009. I will be at the event as a guest blogger and will be part of the energy and excitement. GigaOM has managed to put on an excellent schedule packed with great speakers including Marc Benioff, Michael Stonebraker, Jonathan Helliger, Greg Papadopoulos, Werner Vogels, and many others. I like the breadth of topics - cloud databases, data center design and optimization, commodity hardware, private cloud etc. I will see you there if you are planning on attending the event and if not come back here for blog posts covering the event.
