James then took us through his experience with a recent "incident" involving one of our promotion websites collapsing under the weight of unexpected usage peaks. I'm sure you'll know what I'm referring to, so I won't go into the details : )
This presentation won the award for Most Post-Pres Questions for the day hands-down, there were in fact so much interest & so many questions that James also hijacked the next open Q&A session, leaving me no chance at all to boo him, pfff :D
Jokes apart however, what was really appealing and unique about James's presentation during the day was that it was a real-world use case scenario where James's team had dealt with a true business crisis by using cloud services and in doing so had generated some real value to the business. I think the audience reacted very positively to the process, the story, the learnings. So go James for audience reaction, should really have brought those pom-poms ! ; )

Thanks for the kind words (cheque is in the post). There is a lot of hype around cloud and a lot of people pushing "cloud" solutions that are simply VMWare rebadged. It is satifiying to have actually done this with "Real" cloud and lived to tell the story.
