Read More Turning the IT landscape upside downThe Journey to the Private Cloud I had an interesting epiphany last week while shadowing on some Executive Briefings. So, in my last blog I wrote about what interested me in the Vblock architecture, especially around the compatibility matrix and all the components that integrate in the stack.
