I am speaking tomorrow on the VC panel in the Office 2.0 conference. In case you are interested to view the companies, Ismael has put together a fancy list to group these vendors by feature.
I am very excited to see this momentum in the market place. In the mean time, it makes me realize that more and more of these online application require new infrastructure to guarantee scalability, reliability and security. It is funny to see “out of service” screens from Google mail and “loading…” bar in some of the real time demos in today’s sessions.
Unlike consumer apps where people can tolerate slow performance and less-than-ideal reliability, most of these office 2.0 apps are business and mission critical, and thus require high 24×7 availability and dependability. It is more than point solution optimization such as server, database, storage, network or application, it is about end-to-end system that tie everything together, manage together and optimized together as a whole.

I was at the SVB, Deloitte and SDForum investor forum this morning. The event is a great place for early stage VCs/angel investors to meet promising young startups that seeks seed or series-A funding. I have been attending this event series for a while. Brian, Shai and Susan have done a great job of making this a cool place to hang out. Most of the startups seem to stay on security and Internet services enablement theme. Below is a complete list of companies from this event.
