Quote: “There’s a lot of buzz about cloud computing in the industry right now, but it really comes down to defining a business’ overall data center IT strategy and developing a cloud that meets that company’s specific business needs. The end goal is to develop a computing environment that allows seamless alignment of IT and business, controls costs, and aligns business needs with the IT budget. ” – Mike Martin, director of cloud computing, Logicalis
