"Cloud computing has evolved in just a few years from a concept into an IT essential.  However, understanding exactly what it is, along with the flavors, benefits, challenges and how to get started can be daunting for many companies," said Sal Hundal, Chairman of NVTC's Business and Enterprise Architecture Committee.  "Our Committee wanted to create a cloud computing forum to help NVTC members and the northern Virginia business community and we've started by tapping one of our member's core area of expertise."

"Virtacore started building virtualized IT environments for companies before it was called cloud computing," stated Virtacore's Founder and CEO, Tom Kiblin.  "Thanks to rapidly maturing technologies and infrastructure, cloud computing is already making a profound impact on corporate IT. We understand many companies are looking to make sense of all the information and misconceptions on cloud computing.
