Dorothy the CIO was walking the yellow brick road of planning. She was on her way to the Emerald City to ask the great wizard of the agile data center for advice. Along the way she met two other CIOs who joined her on the journey, nicknamed Tin Man and Scarecrow. Their travels brought them to the edge of the dark forest of datacenter hype and fear.
‘‘Do you think we’ll meet any wild technologies and fears in there?’’ she asked her companions.
‘‘We might.’’ responded Tin Man.
‘One’s that devour IT projects?’’ whispered Scarecrow.
‘‘Possibly.’ said the Tin Man, ‘‘but mostly containers, and clouds, and security.’’
‘‘Containers, and clouds, and security, oh my!’’ they all murmured in unison as they entered the dark forest.
