Enterprises are unable to escape the compromises imposed by these two options because the technology has not existed to allow it. Every IT deployment, indeed, every public cloud is built up from disparate component parts (compute, storage, networking, acceleration, and humans) and brought together by brute force. No technology fabric has previously existed that reaches beyond the hypervisor to virtualize and present every resource and service like the store front of a public cloud. This is the locus of the CIO’s dilemma.
