Abstract: Getting Greener and Smarter with the Cloud

“Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the cloud.”

You've probably heard a lot about the cloud and know that it's a good way to get virtual machines on demand, but there's so much more to cloud computing.  This talk will do a quick tour of some of the other tools and techniques available as a result of cloud computing, including efficiency and security of data centers, data warehousing, and how the massive datasets and computing power have impacted what we're able to do with computing.
