While there has beentremendous focus on private cloud implementations, there has also been a significantamount of “cloudwashing” that undercuts how much incremental benefit is beingachieved and how best ot achieve it. Hybrid cloud remains an elusive goal for manyorganizations. As a consequence, the complexity, risk and confusion over what kindof cloud deployment and how best to proceed remain daunting issues for many datacenter teams. This track will look at the future of cloud computing and specificallyhow to address the challenges in cloud management and how organizations canrealize the most from the cloud in all its forms.B: Ensuring Your Data Center Infrastructure Reflects Todays Realities andTomorrow’s ChallengesReRequirements for data center infrastructure have evolved rapidly during the pastfive years after a period of architectural stability that lasted for over a decade and ahalf.
