-------------------------

Toby DiPasquale is coming to HMS for our second [1] HMS Tech Talk!

Toby will be presenting an overview of Amazon Web Services [AWS]
Elastic Computing Cloud [EC2] Services.   This will be a
re-presentation of a talk he gave (will give) at Philly Lambda [2] on
7/31/08.  AWS EC2 is kind of virtual hosting service where you can set
up an AMI (Amazon Machine Images) and then rent CPU time, easily
provisioning as many machine instances as you'd like.  There is also
an accompanying persistent storage service, S3, provided by AWS.  This
kind of virtualization is a coming trend in our industry and is
something we should all be aware of.

The invitation is open so please forward this to anyone you feel would
like to come.  We have room for about  30 people.  Room is limited,
you will need to RSVP to me so I can make sure we don't overbook our
space.

Please RSVP to Kyle Burton (kburton@hmsonline.com) as soon as you can.
 I'll respond letting you know if we can accommodate you.  Our
building's doors lock at 6pm, so if you arrive and no one is there to
greet you, please contact me (Kyle) on my cell phone at: 610.659.6040.
