On January 26th 2009 I started my first day of my new employment! I now work for a Cloud Services consulting company nScaled, Inc. as CTO and Co-Founder. In short, nScaled works closely with businesses to analyze the impacts of moving all or part of their computing needs to cloud computing services and products safely and securely. We then help the company make the transition to cloud computing technologies as appropriate for their situation.

You may have noted that I said co-founder. I’m also very pleased to announce that I have partnered with Mark Hadfield in this effort. Mark is a very successful entrepreneur and is known for his leading role as co-founder and COO of WorkShare, a pioneer and leader in legal document content management. I am very happy to be working with Mark now in this new business endeavor.

Some might note that this means I have left Joyent. I have been working at Joyent for the last six months. It went by very fast and it was an eye opening experience. I have a lot of respect for Joyent, it's technology, and its people. My time at Joyent was invaluable and I am happy to say that we'll continue working together exciting new projects.

I’ll be continuing to do my primary blogging efforts here at ProductionScale for the most part. While I've been remiss on doing it for a couple of months I have become a little attached. Temporarily, this will actually be the company blog since I haven't setup a new one yet for the company. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with regular posting and finish all the 70% done posts I have laying around!

So, as always, thank you for reading my blog and here's to a great and productive 2009!
