Summary

What is the basis of what IT decision makers are asking for when they ask for "cloud”? What principles underpin a cloud strategy
and why is storage so key in this? How can we define what a service should look like and measure it's success, and how is
seamless consumption of that service enabled. This presentation covers all of these questions in a storage-centric look at defining the structure of cloud.
