Virtualization Makes Cloud Happen

Virtualization

• Virtualization makes Cloud
Computing possible
• But, a virtualized data center
is not a Cloud

Cloud Computing
What is Cloud Computing About?
• Self service with automation
• Speed—provisioning environments lightning fast
• Granular cost tracking of every resource
The End Goal

Empowering IT
customers to provision
pre-defined environments
with ZERO lead time
Changing the Role of IT
