The perfect Cloud is an open Cloud

There’s a good reason why the words ‘Cloud computing’ feature in most IT dialogues today. It’s a hugely important evolution in the way we consume and operate computing today.

How to build a private Cloud

Some new technologies make their way into organisations at the periphery. Perhaps they perform some specific task that is outside of the day-to-day concerns of IT management. Perhaps they're an ad hoc tool of some sort — useful but not part of any formal workflows or procedures. Perhaps they increase efficiency in a way that can be adopted incrementally to one server or one group of applications at a time.
