Last time I was at my local CVS all of their systems were down, I told the store mgr I worked in IT and she took me into the office where all the network/server gear sits under her desk. It was a rat's nest of wires and old outdated gear that smelled like it was burning, told her there was nothing I could do to help and that she should call both the fire dept and the health dept, the place was filthy. She said no one from corporate would return her calls and that if she called the fire dept that she would be fired, said she was the third mgr that year.
VMWare is a wonderful product and saves money for many corporations, and CVS certainly takes advantage of VMWare. But CVS talking about successful Cloud implementation is corporate comedy. Getting anything done in CVS's IT department is nearly impossible. Nothing is documented. IT departments don't talk to one another. Putting these PowerPoint slides together probably took weeks.
