My favorite part is this quote: "Hardware was a bit of a surprise, frankly. It's clearly a lot of money, but even doubling the utilization had a tiny impact compared to helping people get work done."
That's right. People in business, IT teams prefer to get shit done over see some utilization numbers go up. That they were surprised by this shows a disconnect from reality. Especially given all the cloud marketing talks about helping one get stuff done by focusing on core business instead of IT infrastructure. Double fail.
