A recent comment in our EMC IT Journey blog reminded me of a really good diagram I’d seen our CIO, Sanjay Mirchandani, use in a presentation to describe EMC IT’s view of cloud computing. As I’m sure you’re painfully aware, there are hundreds of definitions for “cloud” being used in our industry. They do, however, share a common theme: new ways of building, operating and consuming IT that’s more flexible, dynamic, efficient, and available on demand. And their common attraction is converting fixed-cost IT infrastructure into variable-cost services.
At EMC, we see pervasive virtualization as a natural, evolutionary way to gain those benefits—and to keep control and choice where they belong: in customers’ hands. We call this approach “Private Cloud.”
Like multi-modal containers that revolutionized the shipping industry, we can use virtualization to move business applications across compatible platforms within—or beyond—the corporate firewall. Now imagine an open market of compatible service providers competing for your business. That’s real choice. But it’s still not enough.
