Louis Naugès: La première conférence européenne Cloud Computing,
C’était le lieu choisi par SYS-CON pour organiser leur premier congrès en Europe sur les thèmes Cloud Computing et Virtualisation.

Prague, quelle belle ville ! Le prochain congrès sur ces thèmes aura lieu à San Francisco en novembre 2009 et Jeremy Geelan, le responsable de ce premier congrès en Europe, m’a confirmé qu’une deuxième édition aura lieu en 2010, à la même période de l’année, dans un lieu non encore choisi.

As a result they use servers aggressively to solve business needs — whether to keep up with exponential traffic or simply flexibility during dev & test.
