eWeek Blogs: Masked Intentions June 11, 2008 By Michael Vizard

One of the questions that becomes apparent when thinking about the advent of cloud computing in the enterprise is how IT organizations will go about holistically managing everything inside and outside the cloud.

That means that as far as anybody can see into the future, IT organizations will need visibility across any number of clouds that are being used to supplement their internal IT operations.
