ExecutiveBiz - Phil Horvitz, Apptis CTO: Selling Cloud Computing to Government Customers

February 23, 2009 — A little over a year ago, cloud computing was barely on anyone’s radar. Now you can’t go a day without hearing about it. Companies are investing billions of dollars in servers for cloud infrastructures. Microsoft is adding some 200,000 servers a year, Google as many as 500,000. By 2011, an estimated 15.8 million servers will run in large data centers in cloud configuration, driving down computing costs and spurring customers to scale back or abandon their own data centers altogether. So where does the government fit into this megatrend? Phil Horvitz, CTO of Apptis, offers trends and selling strategies to keep on your radar in what is fast becoming the year of the cloud.
