Digital Transformation, Cloud and … a Cup Of Coffee?

3 min read

I am not a big Starbucks fan but let us face it, it’s nice to go there, sit down and have a coffee while you work. The sound, the ambiance or let us say the customer experience it’s good. When you are in a hurry and especially if you are in a business area, the lines get very long and on a Monday morning, you really need some caffeine to boost your Data Center brain. Not being an early adopter made me either spent more time in those long lines or missing my morning coffee until I downloaded the Starbucks app.

Guest Post: Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) at the Core of Private Cloud

Many well-traveled IT Pros can relate to this scenario as it plays out many times a day, across multiple industries all over the world.
