Marc Benioff at TechCrunch Cloud Computing Roundtable

A video highlight from Whose Cloud Is It Anyway? TechCrunch's cloud computing roundtable that was moderated by TechCrunch Co-Editor Erick Schonfeld and TechCrunchIT Editor Steve Gillmor. The event took place on February 27, 2009.

In this video Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff talks about how the paradigm of computing has changed and what we are seeing today is the emergence of cloud computing, which is no software, no hardware, don't hire anyone, and instead sign up for cloud platforms and pick the flavor (services) that's most appropriate for your needs. Benioff says he sees cloud computing has two components: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). He says it's the biggest shift in computing in two decades, and it's the most exciting thing going on in the tech industry today.
