Enterprise Cloud Computing Seminar

Join us on evening of Nov. 17th for a free Enterprise Cloud Computing Seminar .

The seminar will include participation and presentations for SolutionSet, Aptana , and a series of other companies who have had experience deploying on the cloud.

We are going to address the practical questions of enterprise CTOs and CIOs

CTOs and CIOs realize the potential benefits of Cloud Computing, but they also have reasonable questions about the following:

• How to achieve enterprise class security on the Cloud?
• What are the operational issues and best practices associated with running applications on the Cloud?
• How do you scale an application on the Cloud?
• What are the appropriate enterprise use cases for Cloud Computing?
• How do you build and deploy a highly available application on the Cloud?
• What do Cloud SLAs mean to enterprise users?
• What are the total costs of running an application on the Cloud?

The event will begin at 5:30pm and go until 8:00pm, with an opportunity to socialize and network from 8:00pm until 9:00pm.

We are holding the event at Sun’s Menlo Park campus
15 Network Circle Building 15
Menlo Park, CA 94025

Laissez les bon temps roulez. RIP is for suckers. Joyent in the NYT.

Recently, so much ink has been spilt on our VC-backed brethren racing for the cash-conserving hills. Why they weren’t shooting for revenue and profitability from day one is beyond us.

Joyent believes when a company is built to be profitable from day one, market context is much less meaningful than the ability to expend effort and succeed. As companies move from CapEx to OpEx, a flight to quality in operations and product, companies such as Joyent are sure to benefit. GigaOM and the NYT picked up today on our success in a down market. Congrats to my fellow Joyeurs!
