Cloud Expo East 2014

R2AD participated in Cloud Expo East 2014, specifically Big Data Expo 2014.  This event was well attended by both cloud enthusiast and industry providers. The event had a lot of focus on Cloud APIs, noSQL databases, and abstraction layers to make Big Data easier.

Cloud APIs are going to get more attention in the near future, especially as organizations realize the need for interoperability and also portability of their "cloud code".  

Note that Docker 1.0 was just released as well and was talked about during the conference...this is a way to achieve application portability between the clouds.

Internet of Things (IOT) was also had powerful  presence at the conference. R2AD is looking forward to IOT hardware and application development in the years to come!
