Abstract:
Cloud computing is changing the infrastructure landscape, and both large companies and new startups are rushing in to capture marketshare. Who will ultimately win? Will it be the entrenched large players (the Goliaths), or the emerging young startups (the Davids)? In this session, Krishna will explore the unique characteristics of cloud computing that make it disruptive, and discuss areas of opportunity where emerging companies can have a leg up.
