Tony Pagliarulo on EMC's Journey to the Private Cloud - SAP Sapphire 2011 - theCUBE
Tony Pagliarulo is the VP of Information Technology, Service Delivery Group at EMC, and very briefly speaks about the journey to the private cloud with Dave Vellante at SAP SAPphire 2011. Pagliarulo and EMC has been on the journey "for a long time, it's not one of those things that happens overnight, so first of all, we set a target with 100% virtualization and virtualization is key to get into the private cloud." They're a believer in leveraging the existing core assets with virtualization allowing them to look at the legacy applications such as SAP, but this is only one step. There is a lot of benefit such as savings, with the "big value add is accelerating our ability to enable the business," and get everything out there in a shortened time frame.
