The writing is on the wall: The infrastructure that supported the web in its early days is no longer up to the job. As we depend more on the internet \u2014 let\u2019s just give in and call it the cloud \u2014 the companies that are providing the underlying computing power to support services like Facebook, Google and Amazon Web Services are remaking the hardware<\/a> and software on which those services depend. In doing so, they have changed the culture inside IT organizations, disrupted old-line businesses and made it easier than ever to build a web-based business.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve documented those shifts for the last six years at our GigaOM Structure conference and in our reporting on the site<\/a>, but this year we\u2019re looking ahead. We\u2019ve found ten up-and-coming people who are already planning the next generation of infrastructure.\u00a0These men and women are solving problems most companies aren\u2019t even anticipating yet.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking about problems like how to apply data to healthcare outcomes using high performance computing, or writing a new type of programming framework for making real-time web pages. Some are taking their programming skills and thinking about embedding privacy settings in the programming framework instead of something people code by hand. Others are tackling the issue of next-generation databases and storage.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re pushing infrastructure to the limits with our demands for real-time information and connections between users and services that can number in the thousands. We just assume that someone, somewhere is doing the hard work to make all this possible.<\/p>\n

The Cloud Trailblazers are those people. Read on to meet them and check out the videos of them epxlaining their technologies that we\u2019ve embedded in their stories. Also, come to our Structure conference on June 19 and 20th<\/a> in San Francisco to see them speak and meet them face to face. The IT world is changing, these people will help you keep up.<\/p>\n
