THE CLOUD CHANGES
EVERYTHING
The Cloud Changes Everything.” It’s a bold statement made on the cover of this magazine. The question: Is it true?
Our coverage begins with NSX, the little software-defined networking technology that could. It functions as the plumbing for much of the cloud, and has quickly become one of VMware’s most important products. We follow that up with an overview of the way the cloud has transformed end-user computing (EUC), as the bring-your-own- device revolution has caused a necessary rethinking about how and where desktops and applications are delivered. Finally, we look at one way the cloud has made things much more complicated: backups.
So, does the cloud truly change everything? Read on to find out.
