The former Federal CIO issued the Federal Cloud Computing Strategy in February 2010 and the then new initiative was greeted with enthusiasm and skepticism from industry and agency professionals alike. Two and a half years later, many government organizations are embracing cloud computing as a viable alternative to past IT strategies and hosted computing is viewed as a cost-effective option for resource-strapped operations. During this timeframe, government organizations from GSA to NIST to the Department of Defense have been working hard to determine the best methods to ensure hosted computing environments can be trusted for processing agency data and enabling expanding remote workforce initiatives that are underway.
The Akamai Edge Conference is an annual gathering of the industry revolutionaries who are committed to creating leading edge experiences, realizing the full potential of what is possible in a Faster Forward World.

Another boat book....Google has taken direct aim at Microsoft's core business, offering free email and software from word processing to spreadsheets and calendars, pushing a transformative - and highly disruptive - concept known as "cloud computing".
According to this plan, users will increasingly store and organize all of their data on Google's massive servers - a network of a million computers which amount to the world's largest supercomputer, with unlimited capacity to house all the information Google seeks.
The more offerings Google adds, and the more ubiquitous a presence it becomes, the more dependent its users become on its services, and the more information they contribute to its uniquely comprehensive collection of data.
This trend can be observed with other internet sites as well, such as photo-sharing and social networking sites like Flickr, Shutterfly, Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and many others. Such sites rely uopn massive data and images uploaded and shared by the users themselves for their success. Fascinating and thought-provoking reading.
