The legacy hardware is not relevant – the future

is all cloud based

goes straight to the cloud

CIOs need a model that balances speed/cost & risk

Hybrid IT is needed between private and public clouds to address serious policy and governance issues

I have to show how I deliver business transformation not just low cost services

CIOs Need Hybrid IT to Leverage Cloud Benefits…

A network-centric partner

ecosystem will provide the most choice and data sovereignty over

a vendor direct model

CIOs need application

centric policy control across all IT components

and all clouds at scale

Hybrid Cloud requires the ability

to place VM workloads on any cloud and move

them back

The IoE explosion will require data

virtualization at scale, not data

replication
