Google Atmosphere 2010

Dave Girouard , President , Enterprise, Google Inc.

The president starts off by talking about cloud computing, he calls it big and disruptive. I have no idea what it is but it has something to do with the apps. Dave uses an example that helped me understand it more. I believe that cloud computing is when you have your entire hard drive per say.
He gives an example of how he lost his entire computer but didn't lose anything from it no data or productivity. Dave seems like he knows what he is talking about and really helped me, a person that knows nothing about Cloud Computing, to understand what it is and give examples. This is enterprise 2.0 at its best. they are basically selling a program that is revolutionary and new to Google.
The quotes helped a little to understand what cloud computing has in store. I'm assuming that the companies that were used in the quotes have already used Cloud computing. Im sure that Cloud computing is a bigger workspace and basically keeps everything that you have been working on and keeps it and accesses it from the Internet or database. If this is the future of business I am all for it. He explains the benefits, Cost savings, speed and innovation, but some benefits they have to work on is customization and fitting the specific business that uses it.
Trust is what he keeps on repeating because people are having a bit of scepticism and they did a poll and a little more than half the people had an issue with trust. He is basically selling Cloud Computing.
