your views on events, trends and technology changes that will be driven by cloud
computing. Please provide your email address at the end of the survey and we

note of the timeframe in the question.

Results from this survey will be used to shape a session called "Future

be held in California on June 20 and June 21 at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara.
