Joyent CEO to Present on "The Open Cloud" at SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo

November 19-21, 2008 in San Jose, California - "The Open Cloud: Building a Customer-Centric Cloud Computer."

Aug. 26, 2008 09:25 AM

David Young, Co-Founder & CEO of cloud-computing specialist Joyent, is the latest Cloud Computing pioneer to join the distinguished Speaking Faculty of SYS-CON's pathbreaking "Cloud Computing Expo" being held November 19-21, 2008 in San Jose, California. He will speak on "The Open Cloud: Building a Customer-Centric Cloud Computer" - a session in which Young willl explore the essential characteristics of building a cloud infrastructure that gives customers the freedom to change vendors while exploiting the values of cloud computing.

Young joins a star-studded lineup covering the hottest IT topic for years, with IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel, HP and Amazon all offering, using or developing high-end computing services typically described as “cloud computing” - through which massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided as a service using Internet technologies.

Forrester Research analyst James Staten calls cloud computing "classic disruptive innovation - where the mainstream dismisses the product and small companies have time to create a real differentiated value." But there are so many offerings just now that what infrastructure architects are looking for above all is a set of organizing principles they can use to guide them in choosing between them all.

Such principles. and a host of associated topics, will be addressed in San Jose by:

Dr Werner Vogels - VP & CTO, Amazon.com (Keynote)
Reuven Cohen - Founder & Chief Technologist, Enomaly
Mike Eaton - CEO, Cloudworks
Jonathan Bryce - Founder at Mosso (Rackspace)
Nati Shalom - CTO, GigaSpaces
Don MacAskill - CEO & Chief Geek, SmugMug
Mike Feinberg - Senior Vice President, Cloud Infrastructure Group, EMC
Billy Marshall - Founder & CEO, rPath
Dr Thorsten von Eicken - CTO & Founder, RightScale
