The move to the cloud continues at a pace as more organisations look to harness cloud-like capabilities like scale, flexibility and commercial value into their business operations. These companies are now more likely to be more "traditional" types that already have a datacentre and an enterprise IT environment, finding ways to tactically use the cloud in these environments is high on the priory list for IT teams across many types of business.

One interesting consideration for helping with this integration is looking at how to exploit more traditional enterprise technology to ease adoption and integration and that is the premise of this week's show.

To discuss this I'm joined by Kelly Goolsby a Presales Solutions Architect at Liquidweb, working with customers to help them find the right technology to meet their changing business demands, he has 17 years in the IT industry under his belt spent predominately in the cloud and hosting space.

During the show we cover;

Cloud, more than just someone else's computer?

Is cloud about more than a technology shift?

The innovation driver to cloud adoption

The shrinking datacentre

The VMware reality and meeting customers where they are

Private versus Public clouds and the process to help decide

The value of private cloud partnerships

Kelly's experience in the area opened up a really interesting chat and makes some great points and provides a fascinating insight into the topic.

Thanks for listening.
