Welcome to In the Clouds

Hi, I’m Forrest Norrod - General Manager of the Data Center Solutions division here at Dell. We are very excited to launch this blog on the topic of cloud computing. In just one week we will celebrate the one year anniversary of the launch of our team – which is dedicated to the needs of those operating some of the largest computing platforms in the world. I hope this blog can become a forum for our customers, Dell’s technologists and those from across the industry to gather to talk about this new age of computing.

Since we are still getting questions on what cloud computing is and what sort of conversations we’re hoping to have here, here's a vlog where I explain.
