Private cloud automation is on the agenda of the majority of organizations today because it delivers the speed, flexibility and agility required to be competitive in today's business environment.   There is a perception that private cloud is hard to achieve and with some solutions that may be true. Cisco has been in the cloud business for over 5 years now and we have learned a thing or two.   First, cloud automation delivers speed and agility by replacing manual error-prone processes with automated workflows.   Second, installing only the components you want to use today and then organically grow helps your organization adopt automation at a more comfortable pace.   Finally, not all organizations move at the same pace or want to use the same solution so you need choice.  Cisco cloud understands these needs and can help.
