Video Clip on Convergence - SaaS, SOA, Virtualization, Modeling
As I have written previously, convergence is a major theme in distributed computing. Darryl Taft (eWeek) recently wrote an article on the topic which was followed up by an article by Loraine Lawson (IT Business Edge). At Tech Ed, I did a quick video to talk about convergence and what it will mean for distributed computing and the role Modeling will play moving forward. Here’s a snip from my previous posting, if it’s interesting, check out the video.
