CloudCamp St. Louis: New Sponsors, More Attendees, Additional Event Details





CloudCamp St. Louis LogoMomentum continues to build towards CloudCamp St. Louis, which is just a few days away. Today we signed up a couple of new sponsors, Contegix and Datotel, who join Appistry, Savvis, Hexagrid and Oasis Digital in supporting the camp and the STL cloud computing community.

Over the weekend registration shot up by over 20%, and as of this writing we’re now one registrant shy of 120. (Will you be lucky number 120, 130 or 150? Register now and see. :-) )

Finally, we’re announcing the details of an exciting session we will be conducting at the event.

One of the complaints most often heard from potential enterprise users of cloud computing is the dearth of case studies available about what other enterprises are doing. To this end, at CloudCamp St. Louis we will be hosting an “Enterprise Use-Case Roundtable” which will explore a series of case studies detailing the experiences of enterprise customers in adopting cloud technologies. The Roundtable will consist of a series of brief case-study presentations, followed by a moderated panel discussion through which attendees and panelists will engage in a broader discussion about enterprise cloud computing adoption.

Roundtable panelists include Bob Lozano, founder and chief strategist of Appistry, and author of the forthcoming Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing (Wiley, April 2010); Benson Schleisser, technical vice president for Savvis, whose work has been instrumental in the launch of Savvis’ own cloud computing offering; and Suresh Mandava, founder and CEO of Hexagrid, who has 20 years of experience as an infrastructure architect of large data center environments at enterprises such as MasterCard and ExpressScripts.

(I’d love to moderate this panel, but I suspect I may have my hands full on Thursday. I’m still looking for someone to do it, so if you’ve got any ideas let me know!)

We’re excited about the Roundtable and the ability to highlight some real-life customer experiences at the event. We’re also very thankful for the support of CCSTL Platinum sponsors Appistry, Savvis and Hexagrid, without whom the Roundtable would not be possible, and whose support of the event as a whole has been outstanding.

Update: While writing this post, lucky number 120 checked in!
