After the cloud is built, I will share how real world examples of how Bluelock uses PowerCLI from a provider standpoint. From on-boarding new clients to gathering performance...

Bluelock is excited to announce that we are officially participating in 2 cloud computing sessions at VMworld 2012 (US) and have another session featuring our hybrid cloud customer E-Meter (Siemens). While we know our awesome giveaways (yes, we were the ones with the fez hats last year) will be a great reason for you to stop by our booth (#629), we also hope you can make one of our sessions about how cloud works, how it's used in the real world and why our customers are really making the...

Bluelock loves being on lists, but we love it even more when our team members are recognized for their outstanding work. Recently Bluelock CTO Pat O’Day was named to Wired’s ‘Top 10 Cloud Influencers, Thought Leaders’ on its Cloudline blog.

Pat, a co-founder of Bluelock, has been extremely instrumental in forging the VMware vCloud® public and hybrid cloud missions ahead. He wrote the original entry to Wikipedia for “Infrastructure-as-a-Service” before anyone was talking about it. That’s Pat for...
