Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Cloud Computing Journal Opens "Readers' Choice Awards" Nominations
Recognizes excellence in the software, solutions, and services provided by the industry's top vendors

SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal announced today that nominations are now open for its first annual Cloud Computing Readers' Choice Awards. SYS-CON's Readers' Choice Awards, also known as the "Oscars of the Software Industry," has been one of the most prestigious industry award programs for more than a decade. This year's cloud computing awards will be given in 19 categories and award-winning products and services will be selected by Cloud Computing Journal readers.

"The i-Technology and Infrastructure professionals who constitute the dedicated readers of Cloud Computing Journal are personally, professionally, and often passionately involved in the front-line of Cloud Computing," said Jeremy Geelan, Sr. Vice-President of SYS-CON Media. "Their recognition is hard to win. That is why we are so excited to be launching these Readers' Choice awards, an open competition that gives everyone an equal chance, no matter what part of the Cloud ecosystem they inhabit, of giving recognition to the solutions they commend the most."

The nominations deadline is August 31, 2009, and voting will begin September 1, 2009, and end October 23, 2009. Winners will be announced the week of November 2-4, 2009.

Cloud computing is a game changer. The cloud is disrupting traditional software and hardware business models by disrupting how IT services get delivered. Cloud computing is a style of computing in which typically real-time scalable resources are provided "as a service" over the Internet to users who need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure ("in the cloud") that supports them.

Leading financial analysts estimate that by 2011 the volume of Cloud Computing market opportunity will amount to $160BN, including $95N in business and productivity apps (e-mail, office, CRM, etc.) and $65BN in online advertising.
