More of ........."Can you run a business strictly off of online applications?"

The more we learn about "Cloud Computing" and being "Cloudy", (a special thanks to our October speaker Matthew Taylor, VP of Hosting and IT/IS Operations at ViaWest), the more we want to know. So, we are going to continue the subject this month. Matt has agreed to join us again in the future, and to keep us going this month, we are pleased to announce that Barry Dykes, CSO and VP of Engineering/Operations for ViaWest will be our speaker. Dykes has more than 20 years of Internet industry experience and is responsible for all networking and security functions for ViaWest. He develops and implements firewall, VPN, load-balancing, routing and switching products for ViaWest customers and oversees all backbone and data center design (internal, complex-customers, and production). He successfully guided the ViaWest backbone through 4 major overhauls, ensuring the stability and scalability of the infrastructure that connects ViaWest, its customers and the Internet together. And, as if this were not feat enough, he has completed all this through each phase, with no measurable impact to their customers. Dykes comes to us as an invited guest of our own valued member, ViaWest Sales Director Robert Berger. Bring your questions and invite a friend! Networking begins at 5 and the meeting around 5:30.
