On borrowed time, that's how I see legacy IT going forward, lots of things are going the way of Commodity, first it was Mainframes to Midframes, to microservers, now VM farms to Data Centers. It is a natural progression. Think Evolution and the Ephemera, we learn, we fail, we improve, and automate. As we automate and learn, we can do more faster, with less and less effort. Why waste time on non-value adding efforts and activities? If you are in IT, think about how you offer and deliver service. Public Clouds are here to stay, deal with the risk, the security, learn faster, fail even faster, and the rewards will be many and bountiful.
