In its first phase, the “Roadmap to High-Value Cloud Infrastructure” focused on Data Storage Expansion. In the second, when talking about disaster recovery and data protection, we discussed not only data recovery, but application recovery in the cloud as well.
In the journey toward cloud, we find two kinds of companies – those that consider themselves «born in the cloud» and have built their entire IT infrastructure in the cloud from the ground up. These folks don’t need a roadmap to high-value cloud infrastructure because they built their infrastructure with the cloud in mind. There’s nothing to migrate, no conversion gotchas to account for.
