David Davis recently posted the video of the Ask The Experts Session from the Carolina Summit 2011 VMUG. In this session, I was fortunate enough to repeat my role (from the 2010 Summit) as session moderator, but the stars of the session were the experts from the panel consisting of Scott Lowe, Jason Nash, Mike Laverick and Mike DiPetrillo. These guys definitely drove an incredible and informative discussion about Cloud Computing, but more importantly, the information was focused on Cloud adoption concepts, concerns, and options from the perspective of the IT department.
Watch the video below. It’s just shy of 45 minutes in length.
