But public cloud had a lot of promises, some of which it lives up to, some of which it doesn&amp;rsquo;t, and some of which it does but it&amp;rsquo;s just painfully expensive. If you&amp;rsquo;re considering a refresh of your on-prem solution, or are looking to move some or all workloads back to a solution you manage, its a great opportunity to revisit your requirements, and look at implementing an actual private cloud, rather than just a virtualisation platform which oh so many of us have seen and managed.</description></item></channel></rss>
