Cloud Coverage 
Industry Insight:  The Private Cloud Appliance Landscape
Most enterprise IT organizations now have a cloud computing strategy to meet new interpretations of their service delivery requirements often referred to as “agile” service delivery. While some cloud initiatives are more far reaching than others, there is no doubt that cloud computing has had and will continue to have a significant and lasting impact on enterprise IT.

Technical Insight: The Critical Role of Storage in Hybrid Cloud Environments
Enterprise use of cloud computing has evolved from the side lines of shadow IT to the meteoric growth in enterprise usage of private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments for a wide range of applications. Rapid growth in cloud usage now leads to complex private, hybrid and multi-cloud environments where a lack of administrative skills in cloud computing coupled with still maturing cloud management applications are now the biggest challenges to ongoing growth in cloud usage within the enterprise.

Free Webinar: The Private Cloud Appliance Landscape
While the public cloud has been extremely nimble for service delivery, private clouds also offer rapid deployment options with the added benefit of greater control. Many ways to get to the private cloud are now available to enterprise IT developers and administrators ranging from do-it-yourself to complete turnkey appliances located on and off premises. In this webinar we outline the deployment models currently available to users and highlight some of the offerings currently available. Register now for this free webinar on November 16th, 2016 at 10:00am MT.
