LONDON, August 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

River Island was on site at Reading Festival this weekend with a unique pop up shop and clothing exchange.
The team had 4,000 brand new River Island jeans and t-shirts to give away to festival-goers for free in exchange for their old clothes, as well selling exclusive festival accessories in River Island's pop up shop for visitors to add the finishing touches to their outfits.

The River Island Clothing Exchange was based in The Village at Reading Festival over the August bank holiday weekend and was inundated with festival-goers who were keen to swap their old clothes for new pieces from the latest River Island collection.

The scheme was a big success with a constant queue of men and women lining up to donate their old clothes. All 4,000 units were given away over the course of the weekend, with the team forced to close the shop at times to stagger the clothes swap.
All of the old clothes will be donated to the Newlife Foundation for recycling, with all proceeds going to the charity.

Metacloud Outs Custom OpenStack for Fortune Firms

By Maureen O'Gara

Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

Is Your Business 100% Ready for the New Era of Cloud Computing and Big Data? The Only Enterprise IT Event in 2013 Covering the Entire Scope of both Cloud & Big Data

Come to New York and get yourself up to date with the Big Data revolution! As advanced data storage, access and analytics technologies aimed at handling high-volume and/or fast moving data all move center stage, aided by the Cloud Computing boom, Cloud Expo is the single most effective event for you to learn how to use you own enterprise data – processed in the Cloud – most effectively to drive value for your business.

There is little doubt that Big Data solutions will have an increasing role in the Enterprise IT mainstream over time. Get a jump on that rapidly evolving trend at Big Data Expo, which we are introducing in June at Cloud Expo New York.

Cloud Expo was announced on February 24, 2007, the day the term "cloud computing" was coined. That same year, the first Cloud Expo took place in New York City with 450 delegates. Next June, Cloud Expo is returning to New York with more than 10,000 delegates and over 600 sponsors and exhibitors.

"Cloud" has become synonymous with "computing" and "software" in two short years. Cloud Expo is the new PC Expo, Comdex, and InternetWorld of our decade. By 2012, more than 50,000 delegates per year will participate in Cloud Expo worldwide.

The cloud is certainly a compelling alternative to running all applications within a traditional corporate data center. But moving from theory into practice is where things get complicated, and this is where attending a top industry event like Cloud Expo comes in.

No one can take full advantage of cloud computing without first becoming familiar with the latest issues and trends, which is why the organizing principle of the 10th International Cloud Conference & Expo on June 10-13, 2013 - is to ensure - through an intensive four-day schedule of keynotes, general and breakout sessions, and our bustling Expo Floor - that attending delegates leave the Javits Center with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to leveraging the Cloud, helping them to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the scalability of their Enterprise IT endeavors.

Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.

Whether you're an enterprise or small to medium business, you'll soon be benefiting from the Cloud. Join your peers in New York City June 10-13, and maximize those benefits already in 2013. See you in New York City!
