It’s\u00a0 not that we don’t want to…<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s a matter of what time we have.<\/p>\n

We can’t do it all, so we have to choose where we can add articles and opinions that are of the most interest.\u00a0 As we grow, and get more contibutors, we will look to extend our coverage as our capabililties allow but we will always prioritise quality over quantity.<\/p>\n

Openstack<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’ve got nothing against Openstack, KVM, or other Cloud Technologies and we know there are thousands of implementations out there, but it’s not something we are hugely experienced in.\u00a0 We do believe that organisations running Openstack are typically large and capable and as a result have very good reasons to do so.\u00a0 VMware is the dominant force in the Private and On-Premise cloud space and used by organisations of all sizes, including those smaller organisations that are more likely to benefit from our thoughts and experiences,\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please get in touch if you would like to contribute to an Openstack topic, or share your thoughs and experiences with any other cloud and virtualisation tech, we’d be happy to accommodate you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other Cloud Providers<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Due to the sheer number of Cloud Service Providers out there, in-depth coverage outside of the “Big Three” just isn’t possible, we will try to add a digest of major and unique announcements as time allows but right now we are focussed on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
