Wired.com runs a community called Innovation Insights, dedicated to "new thinking for a new era of technology."  Earlier this week, I contributed this article on cloud security, reflecting on some of the interesting trends around cloud network access and the impact on customer adoption.

I encourage everyone to dig deeper when a colleagues reference "security concerns" as one of the reasons holding them back from public cloud adoption models.  What are those concerns?  Are you exposed to them today?  And how do you mitigate risk?

Many cloud computing pundits state that cloud computing introduces a new method of Infrastructure-as-a-Service; however, that is just not the case.

NBC's "The Office" is set on Slough Avenue in tribute to the town of Slough, England, the launch pad for Ricky Gervais' comedic career as the star in the original UK show of the same name. 

Five years after Gervais left Slough, Savvis moved in, opening the L01 data center in 2008 to help transform what is now Europe's biggest trading business park. Demand was high from day one, and within 18 months, the first floor sold out. In 2010, we expanded.

This week marks the opening of our second Slough data center, Savvis LO5.

Consider: 5.1 billion people on the planet own a mobile phone - only 4.2 billion own a toothbrush.

In today's media organizations, user experience is almost as important as the content itself. Compelling content means nothing if the user experience is poor, and the 'it just works' expectation set by the likes of Facebook and Google means content must be delivered in the right way more now than ever before.

Just back from a trip to Europe - the perfect rally point for meeting with many of our European customers to discuss how they are using our growing London-based cloud platform and how Savvis should prioritize its development backlog.

We were also able to meet with a number of industry analysts Cloud Expo Europe and update them on some exciting new developments inside the Savvis Cloud, such as our Symphony Cloud Storage offering and the savvisdirect project.
