Last night we had almost 100 people at BlueLock to participate in CloudCamp Indy #2 – It professionals, students and business professionals alike. It was a success by all measures.
BlueLock, Apparatus, Network Storage Inc. and Windows Azure all led lightning talks, which are quick 5-minute presentations on the company’s offerings and how they are involved in cloud computing. Some of the presenters, like Brian Prince of Window’s Azure also went into detail on the definition of cloud computing as you can see from this image below.
From there, Dave Nielsen drew six cloud computing experts from the cloud to take part in the cloud computing “unpanel.” They answered questions from the cloud like:
- Where is the ROI in moving traditional applications to the cloud
- How do you balance internal and external applications and resources in internal and external clouds?
- What systems need to be in place to balance user data in the cloud?
- What are the current best practices for designing a hybrid cloud for a current business application?
- What is a hybrid cloud?
- How do you protect your data and intellectual property in the cloud?
- Whose responsibility is it to make sure the application’s code is scalable for the cloud – the provider or the designer?
- What are the typical pitfalls of cloud computing?
Stay tuned for some video footage of the experts’ responses.
