Cloud Expo just wrapped up this week, and I've had several attendees reach out to me asking for copies of my session slides. Rather than clog up everyone's inboxes, I thought it worth posting them here on the blog. Or, you can also find them directly in the CA Technologies channel on SlideShare.

In my first session, From Virtualization to Cloud Computing - Building an Effective, Pragmatic, and Reliable Cloud, I covered how to deliver a responsible, reliable and mission-critical cloud, while providing valuable financial and competitive benefits.

Next up was Follow YOUR path to Cloud Computing, outlining two approaches to cloud computing - evolutionary and revolutionary - and key considerations companies need to take into account before starting down either path.

I also hosted a Bootcamp session, "An actionable roadmap to deliver public, private, and hybrid cloud," sharing a roadmap for enterprises and service providers to deliver cost-saving, value-adding, and revenue-generating cloud offerings that leverage existing investments and drive competitive advantage.

These topics all seemed to resonate with the audiences. Thank you so much to all the people who stopped by afterwards, and at the CA Technologies booth, to tell me how much they liked them. I think the practical, flexible approach to cloud computing that CA Technologies is taking really made sense to the attendees.

Thanks also to everyone who came to get a signed copy of my book, Visible Ops - Private Cloud. The response was overwhelming, and I was humbled by both the caliber and number of people who asked for signed copies. Sorry to those who missed out - please come along to the next CA event (look for us at selected VMUGs, at VMworld, and of course at CA World '11 in November), I promise we will have more copies!

Overall, another great Cloud Expo in the books. Have any thoughts or feedback on the sessions? Feel free to share in comments or contact me on Twitter @AndiMann.
