Dr Jonathan Dugan, MedTechIQ member #1, CEO Matson Systems and expert on online community development/peer to peer megafile networking, shares a link from Info World that compares various "Cloud Computing" offerings. As described by Dan Reed, Microsoft Research, cloud computing is the commercial evolution of GRID computing and is proliferating rapidly. Members of the MedTechIQ community should watch developments in the area closely. Check out Ian Foster's Cloud Computing and its Applications conference in Events sections and plan to attend the next HealthGRID (in meeting archives) meeting to learn more.
