Bookmarks for October 22nd 2009
These are my links for October 22nd 2009:

- Cloud Cube Model: Selecting Cloud Formations for Secure Collaboration - From the Jericho Forum - a model for organizing cloud computing into four dimensions - so it really should be a hypercube
- Cloud Standards Wiki - Not sure who actually runs this, but it's a useful collection of links relating to cloud standards
- Daoli Project - Interesting - a project to leverage Trusted Computing in the Cloud - the hypervisor becomes part of the Trusted Computing Base (TCB).
