The theme of last week’s VMworld was “One cloud, any app, any device.” However, as noted by Maribel Lopez, a contributor to Forbes, “The one cloud is actually numerous clouds with management that allows you to move workloads and data across the public, private, and hybrid cloud models smoothly.”This idea is especially helpful for government agencies, which have to strike a compromise between the need to protect mission-critical data and applications and the requirement for creative, flexible, and affordable IT solutions. It is no longer good enough to keep everything within the four walls of an agency’s data center. Furthermore, it makes no sense to be restricted to the internal walls of an agency data center when you have a wealth of integrated cloud solutions at your disposal.
