Having been writing on cloud for nearly a year now I just stumbled across a new VMware cloud thinker on twitter of all places.

Jian Zhen is the Director of Cloud Solutions at VMware and has been in the role for 4 months, starting in March.

Jian has a personal blog http://www.zhen.org/ (a bit like all of us) where he has been posting some great thoughts on Cloud.

The recent entries have been a four part series on "The Thousand Faces of Cloud Computing" which have been broken down into

• Differing Definitions
• Users
• Business Benefits
• Architecture Characteristics

I like the fact that he is using the same terms that I am using like "Elastic".
