Is a storm brewing for cloud computing???

Outage of Amazon Web Services won't help adoption, but will hopeful drive some changes.

I just ordered "The Real Business of IT" this past weekend and I'm looking forward to reading it. I heard lots of positive feedback and it appears to have numerous positive reviews.

If you would like a preview Chapter 1 and Chapter 5 are available online. I'll post a review once I'm finished.

So have you signed up for the Amazon Cloud Drive yet? Amazon's offering is pretty nice. You get 5 GB for free and can purchase more space. You can upload up to a 2 GB file, which way exceeds the 50 MB limit allowed by Microsoft Skydrive. Give a try, it's free.
