VMware and Dell Are Hosting a Social Media Discussion & Think Tank 6/27/12


At most IT or Business Technology Conferences today, I have heard several differing definitions of the term Cloud…   In addition to the widespread, varied interpretations in regards to what the Cloud exactly is and/or what it can do, fear/skepticism of cloud computing is another emerging conceptual viewpoint.

To clarify, this open event is focused on the overall cloud computing market and NOT on Dell products or other specific technology. Other prominent confirmed panelists for the #FutureCloud Think Tank event include:
