BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: Pete Malcolm is CEO of Abiquo, a leading vendor of Cloud infrastructure management solutions. Described by SYS-CON's Jeremy Geelan as “a beacon of light amid the murky fog surrounding Cloud Computing”, Malcolm is the inventor of the term “Resource Cloud”, a concept which provides complete separation between physical infrastructure providers and virtual enterprise consumers, with substantial benefits to both.
Malcolm was previously founder and CTO of Orchestria, Benchmark Capital’s first European Entrepreneur-in-Residence, and a Senior Vice President with CA, Inc.

RECENT CLOUD COMPUTING QUOTE:
"Cloud computing is essentially a simple concept that has been overly complicated by vendor marketing hype. Vendors either want to jump on the cloud bandwagon when they really don’t belong there, or they want everyone to believe their cloud product is better than it really is.
As a result, the scope of what cloud means has broadened, and everyone claims they do it, which makes it very hard to understand from the outside (it’s not that easy from the inside either)."
