I talk a lot about how fabrics are helping organizations be more agile and chase the innovation that is the lifeblood for survival. While innovation is a business requirement, all too often technology is the blocker to faster and more attainable innovation.

Instead of being constrained by the physical requirements to “rack and stack” hardware, servers and storage can be delivered programmatically.
