Video: Michael Crandell, CEO of Rightscale
- Thursday, February 11, 2010
Cloud computing no longer needs its own introduction, but the use cases and implementation are still being defined. In the video below, I chatted with Michael Crandell, CEO of Rightscale, a cloud management platform, about the changing ecosystem that's occurring in the cloud world as software as a service (SaaS) providers morph into platform as a service (PaaS) providers and several big providers forgo offering an infrastructure as a service (Iaas) in favor of a PaaS. We also discussed the challenge of moving data into the cloud and moving applications from one cloud to another. The conversation began with a discussion of Rightscale's business and ended up focusing on security and compliance.
