• How cloud computing simply changes, instead of eliminating the importance of web operations
• What tools are available to help better manage cloud environments?
  
  

Soltero joins a star-studded lineup covering the hottest IT topic for years, with IBM, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel, HP and Amazon all offering, using or developing high-end computing services typically described as “cloud computing” - through which massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided as a service using Internet technologies.
