The document discusses cloud computing trends, including: - Most large enterprises are transitioning infrastructure to cloud computing to cut costs and risks. Critical workloads are also moving to cloud. - Hybrid cloud strategies that maintain some workloads on-premise while moving others to cloud are becoming more common and supported. - Hardware companies are struggling to remain relevant as cloud platforms commoditize infrastructure. They are pursuing mergers and spin-offs. - DevOps practices emphasize continuous delivery over traditional ITIL change processes. The role of IT is shifting from systems maintenance to innovation brokerage and service management between internal and cloud resources.

”Even for companies that want to be "all-in" when it comes to
cloud adoption, it's not always possible. Legacy solutions,
compliance and a host of issues can keep a portion of an IT
roadmap anchored on premise.”

27. HARDWARE GIANTS STRUGGLE TO STAY CLOUD RELEVANT
”The leviathans of the server, networking,
and chip supplier industry refuse to accept
that they’ve been commoditized into the
background. They will continue to make big
gambles to be strategic in a world now
controlled by cloud players..”
”Whether it’s the Dell-EMC merger or HP’s split into two
companies, clearly the titans of the technology
hardware are feeling the ground quaking. The cloud
revolution means that the deep ties they used to have
with customers are being severed at an alarming rate,
and the result is an increased dependence on
business from the likes of Amazon, Google, and
Microsoft.”

28. THE RISE OF OPENSTACK
Prediction - The rise of new OpenStack platforms which use OpenStack as a universal abstraction
on other private/public clouds
VMware has announced its support for OpenStack with VIO. It uses OpenStack as an abstraction layer
on top of the traditional VMware stack, and thus allows VMware users to move to OpenStack while
leveraging maturity of the VMware infrastructure. It will also allow those users to leverage their existing
VMware skill set and this makes the transition to OpenStack from VMware a simpler task.
