I am now an Appirian, started at Appirio April 25th.
If you don’t know about Appirio – go to the website right now – I’ll wait. Anyway, Appirio helps companies make the leap to cloud adoption.
They live by their commitment to the cloud -don’t own a single server. Business is handled using Salesforce, Google Apps and Amazon web services. It is such a wonderful company with a very talented and passionate group of experts.
Anyways, though the posts may be only once a month, I intend them to be a bit more technical and focused.
Thanks again and stay tuned.
Oh by the way check out Cloudspokes – crowd sourced development in the cloud.

This is very interesting when considered with VMForce (Salesforce teaming up with VMware).
Wavemaker has been dubbed ‘Powerbuilder for Java’ – it brings ease of development to the java platform.
It will be interesting to see adoption now that they are part of VMWare.

Great article by Ryan Nichols of Appirio about how Cloud platform providers are held to a higher standard of data security and reliability than on-premise technology.
Somehow we view data in the ‘cloud’ as being more at risk event though – ‘Salesforce, Amazon, and Google spend millions of dollars on security and reliability every year, and employ some of the best minds out there on these topics. ‘
