Wall Street: Who’s using the Cloud?
Wall Street and Technology has an article on cloud usage by financial organizations. No mention of hedge funds in the article, which I believe have been more aggressive over the last year or so in using cloud services. For anyone venturing into the cloud, SOASTA CloudTest is supposedly “the first on demand Web testing solution built to be resident in the Cloud.”

SOASTA is the Industry Leader in the Cloud Testing market segment, having already secured many enterprise customers Including: Hallmark.com, Marvel Entertainment, Proctor & Gamble, and Genentech. Thanks for the mention….Tom Lounibos, CEO of SOASTA
You are not believing right. No aggresivness whatsoever. Clouds are not and will not be ready for quite a while.
