“The ICT Center is excited about hosting CloudCamp here in Western Massachusetts and is looking forward to streaming the event out to our colleges and faculty across the United States.” - Gordon Snyder, Director of the National Center for Information and Communications Technologies

“Over the last two years, cloud computing technologies, specifically Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), have enabled us to reduce deployment cycles from months to hours. Our customers can now bring their web applications to the market at a fraction of the time, scale systems up and down in response to traffic demands, and continue to improve their products based on immediate user response. We are glad to be one of the organizers and sponsors of CloudCamp. ” - Natasha Goncharova of TNR Global.
