During the November meeting we learned about the Cloud and Cloud Computing, the difference between Public and Private Cloud and different types of hosting (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS).  Brad and Karen covered A LOT of information in thirty minutes!

If you had a hard time keeping up with the discussion AND focusing on your grilled shrimp skewer, you weren’t the only one!    We’re in luck though because Brad and Karen included very interesting PowerPoint presentations as a part of the discussion and you can download their presentations here:  Private Cloud and The_Cloud

ENJOY!

Don’t forget about the December social!  We’ll be posting details soon and look forward to seeing you there!
