2026 update: ... continuously evolving & adapting ... gearing up for our 20th anniversary
this user group started because of pre-release NDA efforts with Microsoft ... that later became known as the Microsoft's Cloud :-)
Microsoft even provided us their office as our venue and trusting us to lock-up ... yes, that was a whole other Microsoft that nurtured a community ... the Microsoft that understood that the more folks who learned their tech meant those folks would bring Microsoft along wherever they went ... but ... the DPE folks, especially Microsoft South Central, treated the community with more heart than you can imagine ... may they & theirs be blest!
fyi: we started doing more "non-disclosed" community efforts once Covid-started ... see our home page for what we are up to in 2026
Data has always been at the heart of our society — but data is raw and needs processing & analysis to discover/extract Information —that has been at the heart of our data-driven society (think all the way back through the history of our world, military, etc.);
Networks (human & computing) are the nervous system that interconnects our world;
Cloud is where all that data is being aggregated & processed … now with AI.
Cloud computing has been expanded to be all encompassing, from the datacenters (in mountains, sub-sea, etc) to the edge/phone, and everything in between. We cover pretty much anything of importance within this world (such as, ROI, CapEx, High-Performance & High-Availability Clusters, Parallel, Distributed, Grid, BigData, Data Science, AI/ML/TensorFlow, Productivity (e.g., Microsoft365/GoogleWorkspace), Security, GDPR, Quantum, & IoT, and more) … thus the 2021 Offerings breakdown (on home page) to cater to the most requested specific/depth technology focuses and adoption/breadth business focuses.
as part of our 20th anniversary efforts ... see home page for updates.

Computing & Business focus is not new for 2021 and has always been offered via Houston Cloud Computing User Group (since 2008). In 2021 we are highlighting the focus on function/use/adoption and focus on technology … so non-techies can feel comfortable to attend, and benefit too.
Stay tuned for …
business/function focused events for decision-makers/executives, (e.g., Chief-Data-Officers)
—and—
computing/technology focused events for Cloud practitioners across multiple Clouds (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Microsoft/Office 365, AWS, RedHat, etc.)
