Cloud Expo on Ulitzer

Yahoo! Session at Cloud Expo

Cloud Computing is receiving a lot of attention, and a number of companies see it as a key to increased agility and efficiency. The technology, however, is still at an early stage and many fundamental challenges need to be addressed before the full promise of the paradigm can be realized. In this general session at Cloud Computing Expo 2009 West, Yahoo! Chief Scientist Raghu Ramakrishnan highlighted some of the key challenges, described projects at Yahoo! that seek to address one or more of these challenges, and - in particular - he discussed the issues in managing large data stores in the cloud.
