Innovation is “the act of introducing something new”. Often disruptive it drives us to the future laying new boundaries in both science and business. Likewise, Cloud Computing stands as a new paradigm which is changing the way we use ICT technology, explore the Internet and think about our “digital reality.”

Cloud Computing model aims to transform ICT  into an elastic, highly available, fault tolerant, secure and multi-tenant platforms. Such transformation poses many questions and challenges, namely: How to secure data and protect user’s privacy? How to render SLA and QoS? How to fulfill new requirements like interoperability, predictability, scheduling and provision?

Seeking the right answers for those questions will present us excellent opportunities to layout new businesses.

EuroCloud Portugal is very pleased to announce the first Portuguese Cloud Computing Business Opportunities Forum. Please visit our web site and find more about this projects.

Cloud Ecosystem

To live is to be part of an ecosystem able to enhance our ability to communicate, talk, write and read. We need to be able to move from one place to another, we need accountability, we need predictability, we need insurance, to feel secure, and we need trust links. Our ability to have success, to move forward and to develop projects and relationships is 100% dependent on our ecosystem.

To Cloud or not to Cloud was the question raised at the “CloudViews – Cloud Computing Conference 2009″ and to which the correct answer will always depend on our capability to develop an ecosystem with all their components.

Helping Cloud Computing achieve its main goal – transform IT platforms in elastic, highly available, fault tolerant, secure, and multi-tenant platforms. Allowing IT technicians to be able to shift the focus of their work from the technology complexity to their companies core business, will depends on our capability to build a true Computing ecosystem in the Cloud: encryption mechanisms, predictability and provision platforms, SLAs monitoring and agreements contracts, AAI, elastic networks, interoperability frameworks, schedule mechanisms, etc.

Please stay tunned and please book the 20th and 21st of May in your agenda…
