(Raleigh, N.C.) Last year, the cloud cognoscenti set out to clarify definitions. What is cloud? What isn’t cloud? What does it mean for the present and the future? This year, the focus is on adoption patterns and entry points — where enterprises are making use of cloud, finding value and gaining traction with their initiatives.
