Graeme Thickins of Tech~Surf~blog interviews Greg O’Connor, CEO of AppZero, at the DEMO ’09 conference, which was held March 1-3, 2009, in Palm Desert, CA.

As the last session in the DEMO Pavilion was quickly winding down (it was also the closing reception), I finally got a chance to get up to the AppZero booth. This startup was one of the few enterprise-IT related presenters at this event, and it was all about — you guessed it, cloud computing! (Buzzword of the year.) The AppZero guys did one heck of an impressive stage demonstration, showing how enterprise apps — even real mission-critical ones — can be provisioned instantly and moved with a mouse click to run anywhere, from data center to cloud, or to another cloud service. I spoke with Greg O’Connor, who’s pictured below at left with Ed Johns, senior system engineer.
