Welcome to the July 2014 Newsletter.
Last month saw the Cloud Hosting team at Cloud World Forum in London, mingling with the thousands of visitors and 300-plus speakers converging on Olympia. The event boasted an impressive line-up of tech giants including: Intel, Oracle, HP, Dell, Google and Microsoft, and also featured an exclusive C-level keynote Future Cloud Theatre, with CIOs and CTOs from leading end-users such as: Coca Cola, UEFA, BBC, BMW, Marks & Spencer, UBS, CERN and Lufthansa. It was an impressive two days that managed to distract us - albeit temporarily - from England's performance in the World Cup, about which the less said the better! Our next print edition will include a full report on the show.
Our news this issue includes the first visit by a serving Home Secretary to a data centre, as Theresa May opened a new iomart facility. Should we really be surprised that such a senior politician has never set foot inside a data centre before? It seems to us to reflect a general disconnect between what politicians (of all parties) say about the importance of IT and technology, and what they actually know - and do - about it. It's to be hoped that Ms. May's visit has inspired her to look more closely at IT and cloud opportunities in central and local government. As with the World Cup, it's probably best not to get our hopes up too high!
