Personnel Moves Underscore Ramping Up of Sun's Cloud Computing Initiative Network.com Boss David Douglas Sees Silver Linings in Clouds at Sun September 8, 2008, Volume 127, Issue 2
There are some new faces in the leadership roster of Sun's Network.com cloud computing initiative, as reported in Sun's On the record. In July, David Douglas became Senior VP and head of Sun's cloud computing initiative. Douglas handed Ingrid Van Den Hoogen the marketing, adoption and business strategy responsibilities for Network.com to her other responsibilities and, most recently, appointed Lew Tucker as VP and CTO of Sun's Cloud Computing initiative. Sun's cloud computing initiative, which went live in 2005 with its Sun Grid offering, was one of the first in the industry. Since then, Sun's Network.com service has grown to offer a powerful collection of HPC applications on demand, as well as to serve as the compute engine behind computer-animated feature films and countless advanced research and HPC projects. In announcing Tucker in his new role, Douglas noted, "Lew's career has been focused on scalable computing and web development. He spent much of the '90s at Sun and contributed to the explosive growth of Java and growing Sun's presence on the Internet. In 2002, Lew joined Salesforce.com and led the design and implementation of App Exchange, which remains one of the largest cloud computing success stories to date. After Salesforce.com, Lew was CTO at Radar Networks, where he focused on the scalable design and build out of its semantic web service. With this background, Lew brings a unique combination of technical experience and past success in Sun, which will be a great asset to the Network.com team." Commenting on the overall organizational changes, Douglas said, "We continue to see huge potential in the cloud space, and I'm very pleased about the team we've put together to further extend our reach in it."
