Hi all: Cloud computing is a dynamic, virtualized, distributed, pay per use model of computing.
It has been really been interesting to see the amount of excitement that 'Cloud computing' is generating. It is not without a reason. The goal of BigCloud SIG is to spread awareness and knowledge of Cloud computing architectures, technology far and wide. Please visit http://groups.google.com/group/bigcloud It is a platform for open exchange of information related to Cloud Computing technology, architecture, infrastructure, programming models. We'd also explore deployment issues, software development and joint collaboration opportunities. Indicative topics for discussion are: Research Areas Cluster computing Grid computing Utility Computing Cloud Computing Cloud Networking Cloud Storage Cloud Security Virtualization Sofware as a Service Platform as a Service Infrastructure as a Service Pricing on the Cloud Moving legacy systems to the Cloud What NOT to move to the cloud Security concerns on the Cloud and solutions Morphing a DataCenter into a Cloud Open Source Projects BigCloud event updates. Startup ideas for the Cloud BigCloud has a cute logo. Take a look at http://www.twincling.org/files/bigcloud.png As is required by Twincling Technology Foundation, each SIG must have its first event within 90 days and a project be seeded as well. All interested geeks with focus on Cloud computing and Open Source are welcome ! Join today at http://groups.google.com/group/bigcloud thanks Saifi.
