Advanced Cloud Computing Center – Phoenix Lab

“Our job is to ensure Microsoft will thrive in a mobile and

cloud-first world.” – Satya Nadella CEO Microsoft

“The interesting thing about cloud computing is that we’ve redefined cloud computing to

include everything that we already do. I can’t think of anything that isn’t cloud computing with

all of these announcements. The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-

driven than women’s fashion. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I have no idea what anyone is talking

about. What is it? It’s complete gibberish. It’s insane. When is this idiocy going to stop?”

– Larry Ellison, chairman, Oracle

“I don’t need a hard disk in my computer if I can get

to the server faster… carrying around these non-

connected computers is byzantine by comparison.” –

Steve Jobs, late chairman of Apple (1997)

“Line-of-business leaders everywhere are bypassing IT departments to get applications from the

cloud (also known as software as a service, or SaaS) and paying for them like they would a

magazine subscription. And when the service is no longer required, they can cancel that

subscription with no equipment left unused in the corner.” – Daryl Plummer, Gartner analyst

“Cloud computing is often far more secure than traditional computing,

because companies like Google and Amazon can attract and retain cyber-

security personnel of a higher quality than many governmental agencies.” -

Vivek Kundra, former federal CIO of the United States
