IT simplification, a recurrent vendor theme, has been complexity marketed as simplicity. Let’s face it, storage/network complexity drove astronomical margins. Andy Jassy’s keynote on Cloud simplification at the cost of our own margin is an Amazon hallmark. Love it! #AWS#reinvent
Recall our (then) ground-breaking “Datacenter in a box” announcement in Vegas, while I was @Dell. Had a goose-bump moment when Peter (keynote) mentioned the cloud enabling customized hw for even long tailed workloads! Amazing where AWS got us in such a short time! #aws#reinvent
