Not to be outdone here's google datacenter

I like the facebook one better gives you better idea what they actually process but if your interested.. 

Ready, Set, download... (your cloud)

on Thursday ubunto will offer a server release that will incorporate eucalyptus open source cloud in the distribution.   I believe that this will be a key to the adoption in the use of the public cloud (getting enterprises playing/using private clouds then later migrating as trust increases)

Interesting Blog Entry regarding Oath

I wonder how the coming STS based systems (Geneva etc) and Oath Will interact and what the implications are for traditional SAML federations schemes

Now what?

... So I've been following, using and considering this cloud this for a few months now and believe that as one speaker at conference I recently attended said "they have read the mind of God"... and it has a single word ... "cloud"

Hype aside I as many do believe this a paradigm shift (or least a perception of one) for the IT market.    Everyone believes to one degree or another that a shift will take place that move computing resources to public providers - no differently than power generation was moved to utlity companies.     Where the disagreements come in seems to be when this will happen and how long will it remain closed game (each cloud providor onto themself)

more posting to come on the last weeks conferences ....

VERY INTERESTING TECHNOLOGY TO WATCH  (IMHO)
