7-Step Cloud Transformation Roadmap

Before we can talk about the nuts and bolts of cloud transformation, it’s important to make the distinction from digital transformation. The two are often conflated, and while they are related, they are not the same—the cloud is the enabler of digital transformation. If you’re starting from scratch, cloud-native is the way to go.

Cloud Costs: Money Saver or Money Pit?

This is the second in my series on the cloud. I started writing about cloud visibility and in this article, we take a look at cloud costs. If we look at the evolution of computing over the past 30 or so years, it has always been about monumental shifts in technology, which drive further and further innovation, efficiencies and – seemingly – cost reduction.

9 Signs Your Cloud Readiness Isn't What It Needs to Be

Yes, everyone is talking about the cloud, but are they actually ‘doing it’? The short answer is yes, and in stunning numbers.

The hybrid cloud optimization expert: Virtana ensures a simple, risk-free, and cost-optimized migration that will accelerate your IT transformation

The Silicon Review In today’s digital era, the IT organizations equipped to see and fully understand their applications and infrastructure are well poised to find, fix, and prevent performance or cloud-related issues – often before they arise. However, without expert guidance and fine-tuned solutions, digital transformation and the promise of hybrid cloud infrastructures can create unforeseen complexities throughout the process.

Are We There Yet? The Long, Hot Road Trip to the Cloud

“If I have to pull this car over, there will be trouble!” Does this evoke childhood memories of summer adventures in the family car? It’s the same sort of dread we get when the IT budget holder turns around and threatens to pull over on our journey to the cloud or hybrid cloud. The family summer road trip may be filled with great expectations, but the last thing we want is an unforeseen disruption along the way. And migration to the cloud is no different.

The Cloud - A sellers' perspective on a hot topic.

I have worked at Virtana for nearly 9 years. During that time, I have had the pleasure to interact with customers, prospects, and partners around the world. The types of conversations I have participated in have dramatically shifted during that time.

Over time, the conversations have broadened dramatically.
