Who’s On Phirst

Check out this new report on Phurnace, the cloud, and automation by Julie Craig of EMA (Enterprise Management Associates).

A few of the key points made in the brief include:

• The key to Cloud success is going to be your management tooling. Doesn’t matter how fast you can spin up images if it still takes you three weeks to deploy your application.
• Infrastructure independence is key: your strategy for the Cloud has to take into account bridging the gap from the Cloud to on-premises infrastructure.
• We need more, and more sophisticated, automation.
