3 1) The drivers for Cloud Computing Organizations want to transform IT from cost centers, running on-going operations, to strategic centers of business innovation Today s business infrastructures are becoming inhibitors to business change 3

4 1) The drivers for Cloud Computing What the business perceives What is really required Monitoring Lifecycle Management 4

5 1) The drivers for Cloud Computing What will be needed tomorrow Monitoring Lifecycle Management 5

9 1) The drivers for Cloud Computing Outsourcing and Cloud Many CIOs do not see Cloud as an answer to everyhting they see it rather as an option Outsourcing of a legacy environment allows for higher customization Cloud allows for higher agility but requires more standardization Outsourcing business is far more mature multi-decade experience Of course... Cloud inevitably has resulted in a shakeout in the outsourcing industry itself resulting in providers offering alternative value propositions at variable pricing models... Analysts talk about a Sourcing Continuum : Cloud Technologies are part of the Sourcing Palette Most companies end often with a mix of Traditional On-Premise ICT Deployment, Outsourcing and Cloud Multi-Sourcing... Good news for ICT professionals There is plenty of work for people who understand complex systems and know how to deploy them even if Cloud automates some or the basic roles... Integration between different functions and processes Satisfy SLAs Security, service availability, data integrity, performance,... Business model design based on multiple ICT service provider offerings 9

10 1) The drivers for Cloud Computing Classes of Cloud or Outsourcing Companies The role of Outsourcing is changing and will continue to do so as companies rely increasingly on the Cloud for IT and Business services The following high level categories are applicable to both... Category 1 Utility Providers Focus: efficiency and cost Success factors: availability, security, performance, in short SLAs Category 2 Business Function Providers Focus: deep expertise in particular business disciplines, applying the latest generation of software solutions Success factors: scalability, secure configuration to meet business goals, continuous improvement across offerings, modularity, innovation Category 3 Integrators and Value-Adding Business Designers Focus: business design and integration of critical services, making organizations more agile and able to adapt their business design on the fly Success factors: manage complexity of hybrid computing environments, become a trusted broker, solve interoperability and security challenges, innovation 10

33 5) Software Defined Environments or Cloud 2.0 Systems of Engagement are making Workloads more Volatile Systems of Engagement are making Workloads more Volatile Volatile Workload characteristics result from changing Business Requirements Traditional Current Future W1 W2 W3 W4 C C R1 R2 R3 V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 Vn V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V5.... Vn Few, stable, and well known workloads Fixed system hardware, manual scaling Hardwired workload, minimal configuration 33 Diverse workload, limited patterns Homogeneous resource pooling Expert configuration and mapping of workload Rapidly changing workloads, dynamic patterns Dynamic automatic composition of heterogeneous system Autonomic and proactive management

34 5) Software Defined Environments or Cloud 2.0 The Need for Software Defined Environments Heterogeneity is a key factor in the evolution of the Cloud and requires a paradigm, known as Software Defined (Environments) First, many Cloud environments evolved on premise and are heterogeneous by nature Second, system infrastructures are becoming compose-able and programmable and thus heterogeneity can be exploited to achieve optimal outcome The exploding number and increased volatility of workloads and applications coupled with the heterogeneity leads to the situation where deploying and configuring applications can no further be done in a manual fashion A need to automate the deployment and to continuously and optimally manage these workloads is evident This includes both the software and infrastructure for dynamic construction of workload fit systems this is what SDE is about Capacity requirements can now be addressed through programming the network, the compute and the storage resources, rather than having to resort to manual rewiring this enables a more agile operation of the Cloud 34

35 Managed Services 5) Software Defined Environments or Cloud 2.0 Software Defined Environments ~ Conceptual Overview Top down approach to differentiate with deep understanding of application workloads C C Workload Abstraction Functional and Non-Functional requirements that may be discovered as well as specified 35 Allows rich resource abstractions to assemble purpose-fit systems optimized across heterogeneous resources Resource Abstraction Software Defined Compute Workload Abstraction SDE Unified Control Plane Software Defined Network Software Defined Storage Virtualized Network Control plane separated from the hardware to the software layer Heterogeneous Compute Virtual Storage Layer Resources Programmable infrastructures allow dynamic optimization to respond to business requirements Resource Abstraction Semantically rich abstractions of heterogeneous resource capabilities and system components Mapping Workload to Resource Map requirements to potential system architectures. Proactively. orchestrate infrastructure and workload Continuous Optimization Autonomously construct available system architecture to optimize workload outcome Consumability Agility Efficiency

36 5) Software Defined Environments or Cloud 2.0 Managed Services without SDE Today Cloud Managed Services are monolithic, static and tightly integrated with the IaaS layer They are neither agile, nor easily extensible in ways that would allow them to manage other IaaS stacks or multiple IaaS stacks in the same deployment For example, current managed services cannot manage a Hybrid Cloud environment that allows excess demand to be pushed from a Private Cloud onto a Public Cloud Managed Services include disciplines like: Asset management Metering and billing along several dimensions Monitoring and Event Management Patch Management Antivirus and Intrusion Detection Server Activation and Deactivation (ensuring security compliance) 36

37 5) Software Defined Environments or Cloud 2.0 Managed Services with SDE Tomorrow Managed Services in an SDE will be modular, agile, consumable and dynamically provisioned, independent from the underlying IaaS abstraction Managed Services will be enabled or disabled depending on the needs of the environment They will also be available across all layers of the stack, from the management perspective as well as the application perspective An application needing monitoring or billing services could request such services from the management layer This allows Managed Services to be offered on any IaaS Layer (e.g. Public Cloud, Private Cloud, OpenStack, etc.) Within SDE, Managed Services will provide much flexibility in Cloud offerings Services can then be selected, added, and dynamically bound to any workload component at runtime 37
