Greg O'Connor Named to International Advisory Board of Cloud Expo

SYS-CON Events announced today that Greg O'Connor, President & CEO of AppZero, was named to the International Advisory Board of Cloud Expo.

"It is an honor to be considered among such cloud computing luminaries," said Greg O'Connor, as he became the latest technology pioneer and leader to join the International Advisory Board of the Cloud Expo series of world-beating events.

By forming an International Advisory Board, Cloud Expo extends its leadership position as center of gravity for the worldwide move by Enterprise IT away from running all applications within a traditional corporate data center.

"As Cloud computing continues to dramatically change the landscape of IT, the Cloud Expo series has helped focus the debate on the critical issues at hand, in effect connecting main street with the next frontier," O'Connor continued. "Here at AppZero, we continue to innovate and offer businesses an on-demand approach for running server-side apps when and where they want - private clouds, to multiple clouds and back - whatever it takes to give ultimate control back to the business."

O'Connor, a veteran serial entrepreneur credited with introducing the ESB into the software industry, joins a distinguished roster of Enterprise IT heavyweights:
