Great recorded talk about the hardware and data centre side of cloud computing. This great presentation explains why it (also) makes sense to leverage cloud computing simply to have cost efficient hardware. Got pointed to it while listening to the Cloud Computing Show #31.
Also interesting (via the same podcast): CloudHarmony. The blog in particular contains different benchmark results (memory, IO, network) of a large number of Infrastructure-As-A-Service providers.

New name: Liaison
Had never heard about Liaison Technologies until I learned they recently acquired ADX. Looked onto their website and they had also acquired Contivo 2 years ago. Contivo is somewhat know for their transformation (mapping) tools.

B2B market
IBM keeps acquiring other companies:
- Lombardi being a BPM solution of which some of my colleagues are quite enthusiatic.
- Sterling is more an "old" player in the B2B space with products such as Gentran for B2B communication and ConnectDirect for managed file transfer. But Sterling is also an Integration Service Provider (Garnter) or still call it a Value Added Network? IBM sold its VAN to GXS quite a while ago.
- Cast Iron Systems which is a new kid on the block, with a solution specificially targeting cloud integration. Also available as an appliance. And Cast Iron was rumoured to be developing a cloud based integration offering.

Devoxx 2010
As a member of the Devoxx steering committee, I'm adding my 2 cents to the content of the conference. Devoxx will be cloud(y)!Already confirmed speakers in the cloud area are Michael Coté, John M Willis and Georges Reese, author of the great book "Cloud Application Architectures", now at EnStratus.
