We read today in GigaOm that you are invited to a free webinar they are offering to discuss Cloud options. We thought we’d share this info with our Boston area small business partners.

Join GigaOM Pro and our sponsor Equinix for “Cloud delivery strategies for media services,” a free analyst roundtable webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2011, at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.

Many web service and media application providers often launch via public cloud, only to discover later that they are not getting the control they were looking for. The analyst roundtable will discuss the pros, cons and DIY’s of using public, private and hybrid cloud solutions for media delivery. The roundtable participants will examine the trade-offs among performance, cost, scalability and control in cloud-based strategies for delivering content to customers on a global scale.
