Surgient Cloud Express 30 days to internal cloud

Surgient has see that many organizations are interested in trying out an internal, on premise cloud computing environment, but have found the prospect rather daunting. Surgient, however, is not alone in this discovery. What's interesting is the combination of tools, professional services and the goal of having an implementation up in 30 days.

Snapshot analysis

I've spoken with the folks at Surgient in the past (see Surgient -- Managing an accelerated life cycle for one example). Each time, I come away thinking that they've taken a new, innovative view on common issues and have then come up with a fresh approach. This time is no different. It appears that they've taken what they've learned from many projects and have incorporated that learning into processes, expertise and tools that can help organizations cross the goal line quickly and efficiently.

It is also clear that Surgient understand that organizations are unlikely to leap into the clouds without successful pilot projects. They understand that a hybrid internal/external environment is likely to be the approach most will deploy for the foreseeable future.

If your organization is considering a cloud implementation, it might be worth the time to speak with Surgient about their successful cloud implementations.
