Phil Wainewright, Dennis Howlett, Narinder Singh and I will fling barbs and worse during the appirio sponsored Summer Slam on Thursday, August 19.
Given the "no rules, just right" spirit, I am throwing out the first punch by using a slide I presented at the EuroCloud event in London couple of weeks ago.
My voiceover for this slide said
"IBM and Oracle are no longer the benchmark. Now cloud vendors are the benchmark for each other - each striving for best practices and efficiencies of the others. Imagine a cloud "polymath" who can do all these things well."
That to me is one of the exciting things to look for in the future of clouds.
See you on Thursday!
