Flexiant, the Edinburgh-based cloud software and services company which developed on of Europe's first cloud platform in 2007, is exhibiting at Cloud Connect, this week in Santa Clara, California following the company's entry into the US market during the last quarter of 2010. It remains one of only a handful of independent cloud platform providers world wide.

The company flagship product is Extility, a licensed virtualised cloud platform that helps companies reduce start-up costs, capital and energy expenditure, slashing operating costs and shrinking carbon footprint.

In addition to a range of other enterprise deployments, Extility, is currently being used as a test-bed by the European Commission on the CumuloNimbo  project involving three multi-million pound FP7 R&D projects aimed at driving forward adoption of cloud computing across Europe.

Robert Karssiens, director of sales & marketing says: "As growth of the cloud computing market accelerates rapidly, Cloud Connect is a forum where we can continue to shape the direction of the industry. Flexiant is one of the early pioneers of cloud computing in Europe and is now sharply focused on the US, a key market in our aggressive growth strategy.”

The lineup at Cloud Connect features some of the top minds in cloud computing, people defining cloud computing today as well as the companies leveraging the cloud to drive their business objectives.

A  2010 Gartner report predicts that by 2012, 80% of Fortune 1000 companies will pay some cloud computing service, and 30% percent will pay for cloud computing infrastructure.
