Data sovereignty, compliance, and control are becoming the defining factors in modern cloud strategies.
In this first episode of the ITQ Private Cloud Café podcast, Mike Janssen (CIO at ITQ) talks with Johan van Amersfoort and explains why organizations can no longer treat the public cloud as the default choice.
