Why cloud

Start by looking at where IT is going, not where it's been. Today about 70% of a typical IT budget in a non-virtualized data center goes towards upkeep of existing infrastructure, with very little left over for innovation. Embracing cloud computing within a converged infrastructure (CI) architecture is essential to becoming more innovative and service centric. Obtaining the right expertise to get there is just as critical.
