Conclusion
IT decision-makers in AP need help navigating the journey from infrastructure
consolidation to server virtualization and then to private/hybrid cloud
deployment:
• But the benefits of embracing private/hybrid cloud for reducing
infrastructure costs and enabling orgs to quickly ramp up business
capabilities outweigh the risks
• IT orgs that resist may see their credibility wane and their ability to
support business requirements suffer
Organizations that embrace private/hybrid cloud approaches alongside traditional data center
capabilities and approaches will be far better positioned to deliver value and encourage
innovation within the organization
