Scattered clouds

I went to find out. First, I started with a very helpful grid courtesy of John L. Willis's IT Management and Cloud Blog at http://www.johnmwillis.com/cloud-computing/cloud-vendors-a-to-z-revised/. That provided the names of the known vendors and what they provide.

The next question was, Where were they providing these services? That is, where were the actual data centers located? I got that from a combination of company web sites, regulatory filings, my own industry experience and a fantastic online resource called Data Center Knowledge at http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/.

Have a better day,
