Their conversation included ideas of how to significantly reduce data sovereignty as business necessity, and long term possibly turn it into an irrelevance.

Software Defined Data Centers will Change the Way Enterprises Migrate and Deploy Cloud-Based Applications

"CEO Patrick Kerpan is presenting the Whitepaper at Cloud Expo Europe. The paper describes how cloud users can free business applications with a Software Defined Data Center and the capabilities of "bring you own" (BYO).
“The point is that all of the work that's been done to virtualize the datacenter/system components - CPU, storage, network, apps, OS - has to date, resulted mostly in islands or silos of virtualisation, and especially vendor-specific landscapes. Now, increasingly heterogeneous virtualised elements can be combined and aggregated into logical resources with Software Defined Data Centres,” wrote William Fellows, Research Vice President at 451 Research. “The concept of CFT's container SDDC fits well with metaphor - containers arrive at docks and are craned into configurations.” "
