Structure 08 - Cloud Computing Conference

I am going to Structure 08, a conference being organized by GigaOm that focuses on cloud computing and how it is changing the landscape of computing infrastructures.

If your organization is contemplating traditional server based infrastructure vs. cloud computing, then this conference is for you.

“Structure 08 will gather the most innovative and influential industry leaders together to explore the latest Internet infrastructure buildout. It will sort through the emerging and disruptive computing technologies and inform businesses on how best to leverage them. And it will provide insight to investors and executives on the best implementations, ideas and startups out there today — and what to look for tomorrow.”
The conference has a star studded line of speakers including:

• Werner Vogels - VP and CTO, Amazon.com
• James Crowe - President and CEO, Level 3
• Greg Papadopoulos - CTO, Sun Microsystems
• Parker Harris - Founder, Salesforce.com
• Mendel Rosenblum - Co-founder, VMWare
