Guest Speaker, round 2. BEGIN!

This week we were visited by the guest speaker by the name of Shadrach White. Now, to begin with, this was a much better experience than the last guest speaker. Shadrach talked a bit about cloud technology before he began the bit of information on himself. He seemed knowledgeable in the area, and was able to answer a good bit of questions. Oh, and did I forget to mention? He is the CEO/Founder of CloudPWR, with their major product being the service of Airlift. This service is for government agency's to partner up with Airlift, and have an account and everything made quickly for them. Their site offers great security, which Shadrach went into more detail on the amount of security levels that they take, including hiring outside sources to try to enter their systems to find any weak areas. That level and attention to detail for security is something that is not seen, or not shown, often for most companies. With cloud computing, so many people having access to information, security needs to be at an all time high to protect customers private information.

Overall, I was impressed with this speaker and the information and stories he provided for the class. He was energetic, he was motivated, he had passion. Shadrach was able to combine what we were going over in class, with his own stuff. It didn't come off as a resume like past experiences. It actually raised some questions, as I did not think of cloud computing as what it is. I just think of a harddrive that someone else just hosts. I was wrong, and cloud computing has been around for quite some time, and used for a good bit more than "just storing some pictures on iCloud." I can honestly say, this has helped make me more excited for the information that is to come.
