SoCal CTO

JUNE 14, 2008

I'm blogging from the CalTech Enterprise Forum. Especially when there are things like: Amazon S3 / EC2 / AWS outage this morning. Compared cost there vs. second company that raised $500K and used S3 and other platforms. In second venture - compared Salesforce.com vs. S3 - as platform. Will it survive as long as you need?

Now I don’t get any.
