Cloud Lab ‘10 (formerly known as Cloud Slam) is having their annual global virtual cloud computing event from April 19-23, 2010. You will be able to network with peers, get up-to-speed on cloud computing, and view hands-on virtual labs.

This is the second year that this virtual conference has taken place. 2000 registrants from 80 different countries are anticipated to listen in throughout the course of five days. With over 65 different keynotes, labs, and sessions, you’re sure to find quite a few topics that spark your interest.

ReliaCloud has lined up a few of our experts to spread their knowledge of cloud computing during the event as well. Jason Baker, CTO for ReliaCloud, will speak on regional clouds on April 19th at 5:00pm CST. Al Afflitto (Channel Manager) and Johnny Hatch (Product Manager) will be hosting a session regarding our new Partner Program on April 21st at 3:00pm CST.

It’s not too late to register! With the purchase of one ticket, you will gain access to tune in and out throughout the course of the five days.

P.S.  We have two free tickets available for the event.  If you’re interested, I’ll make them available to the first two people that express their interest by commenting on this post.

Thanks to all who attended yesterday’s breakfast seminar with ReliaCloud and enStratus entitled “Security and Reliability in the Cloud”. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive!

Topics covered include:

• Cloud security challenges
• Perceptions and gracefully losing control
• How to address security concerns
• How to retain data control
• ReliaCloud’s Partner Channel

Don’t forget that ReliaCloud still has some time left before our free beta period ends for Cloud Servers. It’s not too late to test-drive for free at https://order.reliacloud.com.

EnStratus is offering a 1:1 discussion with you to review the security and reliability for any applications you are considering moving into the cloud. Please contact George Hadjiyanis if you are interested (George.hadjiyanis@enstratus.com).
