In this latest BriefingsDirect podcast discussion, Dana Gardner examines how enterprises and developers should be considering the concept of application fungibility, both in terms of technical enablers and standards for cloud computing, and also consider how to craft the proper service-level agreements (SLAs) to promote fungibility of their applications.

To explore how application fungibility can bring efficiency and ensure freedom of successful cloud computing, he's joined by Paul Fremantle, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder at WSO2, and Miko Matsumura, author ofSOA Adoption for Dummies and an influential blogger and thought leader on cloud computing subjects.
