Cloud Computing: SalesForce's PaaS event in Amsterdam



I was there today in the evening and got a call from our good friend, Anshu Sharma, a SalesForce Sr. Director. Anshu quickly fixed a couple of meetings with the SF folks.

My opinion on the show:

  • Event was very well arranged. I'd give a 8.7/10 on that one!
  • I picked up two books, not just out of nostalgic reasons (loads of SQL code, its called SOQL in the books)
  • Went into a developer workshop. The presenter did all the stuff in the cloud.
  • Spoke to CODA CEO (Jeremy) and Product Director (Debbie). (I really liked their stuff and they were going live today with their software).
  • Spoke to some other vendors such as BlueWolf, Magic Software, 4C Consulting (Two soft-spoken Belgian guys but had a good customer portfolio!)
Overall a good event, its a pity that I came in a bit late. I was rushing from Data Centers and other conferences! It was worth a visit!

Do check out other roadshows!

Cloud Security: Eliminate humans from the "Information Supply Chain on the Web"

My upcoming article, part - 3 data center predictions for 2009, has a slideshot talking about the transition from the current age to the cloud computing age to eventually the ideation age- the age where you will have clouds that will emote but they will have no internal employees.

Biggest management disasters occur because internal folks are making a mess of the playground.

Om's blog is carrying an article about Cloud security and it is rather direct but also makes a lot of sense:

I don’t believe that clouds themselves will cause the security breaches and data theft they anticipate; in many ways, clouds will result in better security. Here’s why: Fewer humans –Most computer breaches are the result of human error; only 20-40 percent stem from technical malfunctions. Cloud operators that want to be profitable take humans out of the loop whenever possible.Better tools – Clouds can afford high-end data protection and security monitoring tools, as well as the experts to run them. I trust…
