Cloud 2012 - The 11th International Cloud Expo

Despite the economy, cloud computing is doing well. Cloud Computing is not just a buzz term; it's already proving itself as the next wave of technology infrastructure.
The 11th International Cloud Expo, to be held November 5-8, 2012, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA announces that its Call for Papers is now open. Topics include all aspects of providing or using massively scalable IT-related capabilities as a service using Internet technologies (see suggested topics below).
Cloud computing helps IT cut infrastructure costs while adding new features and services to grow core businesses. Clouds can help grow margins as costs are cut back but service offerings are expanded.
