Staying connected and informed in the cloud isn’t always easy. Don’t you wish there was something that could help you keep all of the information out there in some sort of, oh I don’t know, directory?

We talked to our friend Jeff over at THINKstrategies about his new service, “The Cloud Computing Showplace” just unveiled in January of this year.

Cloud Computing Showplace offers an online directory of over 1630 Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers, including Managing Services, and a best practice resource center with the latest information and insight regarding the rapidly evolving Cloud Computing industry.

The purpose of the Cloud Computing Showplace is to help:
· IT/business decision-makers find the right Cloud Computing solutions to meet their changing corporate requirements;
· Cloud Computing solution providers promote their offerings and succeed in this highly competitive marketplace;
· Others better understand the realities of the rapidly evolving Cloud Computing industry.

The new Cloud Computing Showplace includes the largest number of Cloud Computing solutions in a single online directory, divided into over ninety (90) Service, Industry and Enabling Technology categories across three primary areas — SaaS Showplace, PaaS Showplace and IaaS Showplace, including Managed Services.

The Showplace now includes a real-time count of the total number of provider listings in the online directory, along with a list of the ten companies which most recently added their names and corporate information to the online directory clearly identified on the Showplace homepage.

Cloud providers can add their company information to the Showplace for free and gain greater market visibility via sponsorship opportunities. It’s bigger and better than ever!
