This why I'm so excited about Cloud in the public sector. Its so easy to defer upgrades on a server fleet, even though it might cost someone more money later on

This why I'm so excited about Cloud in the public sector. Its so easy to defer upgrades on a server fleet, even though it might cost someone more money later on. The Public Cloud provides a monthly expense that just becomes part of the operation budget. It's exciting to think about the innovation to government services as an end-result.
