RECENT CLOUD COMPUTING QUOTE:
"In many of our conversations with customers and prospects, we have discovered an interesting information gap. Most business unit owners already understand the benefits that they ought to be getting from their private cloud project (increased agility, reduced operational expenditure, improved overall IT security).
