The computing cloud just got bigger….AGAIN

I posted yesterday on this topic, but the news keeps coming. EMC, the global enterprise storage giant, annouced today they had acquired Pi Corp, a relatively unknown startup, specializing in cloud technology and services. EMC has also formalized a new cloud division, and hired Microsoft veteran Paul Martiz to lead it.

That makes 2 of the biggest players in their respective segments of the infrastructure technology space jump headfirst into cloud computing, all within the past 2 days. Is the cloud trend here to stay, you betcha.
