14 The 3 phases Phase 1 Cloud was for early adopters Cloud was not sold on features or use cases, but on hype Quite often, cloud was not cloud but just rebranded old technology Phase 2 Cloud is commoditizing Cloud providers are being squeezed on margins, with lower pricing and higher CPAs Cloud product now defined, and scale becomes important Phase 3 Cloud is no longer the cloud, but just how stuff is done... Cloud is the underlying infrastructure below most public/private service offerings Battles for clients are fought outside of the cloud - cloud is boring...

15 Phase 1

16 My colleague, Carlos Rego, at WHD 2011: Start your cloud today you ll make millions!!

17 Some of you did.

18 Phase 2

19 My keynote last year: Cloud is commoditizing think about CDN as well

20 We kind of helped commoditize it. Sorry. But we ll make it up to you

21 Phase 3 You can take your cloud and smurf it!

22 The 3 phases Phase 1 Cloud was for early adopters Cloud was not sold on features or use cases, but on hype Quite often, cloud was not cloud but just rebranded old technology Phase 2 Cloud is commoditizing Cloud providers are being squeezed on margins, with lower pricing and higher CPAs Cloud product now defined, and scale becomes important

23 Today (random order) Think workload, not infrastructure Go beyond cloud Be afraid of AWS Don t be afraid of being cannibalized Build partnerships, work with ecosystems Find your niche, and be best at it

24 Setting the scene

25 Gold panners Early adopters First mining operations No more easy pickings Gold companies Diversified into other minerals 1849 Gold rush Service providers Industries built around the rush

26 Who got rich? Same opportunity Same beard Most people made very little A small number got very rich

27 The first movers and the smart movers

28

29 Cloud IaaS market 70% CAGR

30 Dedicated server market 5% CAGR

31 Shared hosting market 7-9% CAGR

32 So, why no cloud gold rush? #1...

33

34 AWS vs. YOU 4,5 4 3,5 3 2,5 2 1,5 1 0,5 0 AWS Everyone else Rackspace 2013 IaaS revenue ($bn)

35 Cloud is probably the largest commercial opportunity in the history of our industry. And we left it to a bookshop?

36 What is key to your offering? Pricing? Support? Ease of use? Uptime?

37 Amazon sucks at all that Support: best efforts or pay up Pricing: download a spreadsheet and use newvem.com to ensure you are not loosing out Ease of use: Go ahead and use our API or pay rightscale for a GUI

38 Amazon sucks at all that

39 Books are written about it!!

40 AWS even ruined Rachel s Christmas

41 And they re still stealing your clients. Why?

42 Scale

43 Geographic reach

44 Product breadth

45 Why no cloud gold rush? #2...

46 Why did you build a cloud? (It s what everyone else was doing?)

47

48 Just do what you do best.

49 So, why no cloud gold rush? #3...

50 Did you treat cloud as a new business?

51 If so, you re thinking in

52 Cloud is still a small factor Cloud (IaaS) out of total SP/Hosting Everything else IaaS

53 Your typical clients spend Clients usage of IaaS vs. other services Everything else IaaS

54 So If your cloud only does this You re losing out on up/cross sales for all of these services

55 Time for a rethink.

56 Workloads don t care about your infrastructure! They just want to work

57 Design infrastructure around what matters most - your client workloads. Not the other way around.

58 Cloud Servers

59 CDN and traffic management Application/Workload layers UI / API layer Shared Servers Dedicated Servers Smart Servers Cloud Servers External OnApp clouds via OnApp federation market Your OnApp clouds External IaaS providers External software stacks
