Too often, what the business wants and what IT delivers are two very different things, and cloud takes the blame. As George Reese, executive director of Cloud Management at Dell, indicates, “[The business] goes to IT and says, I want cloud. They are thinking cloud = AWS. [But when] IT hears. I want cloud, they are thinking cloud = virt[ualization]. [The business] wants on demand, self service. IT delivers them virtualization. Thus, cloud fails both.”
