2 Cloud Enabling the Enterprise - Focus on cloud for Traditional Enterprises - Understanding Cloud Adoption Barriers - Case Studies to illustrate the challenge and opportunity of cloud Customer experiences - Alastair Murray, Chief Executive, Hawthorn Life. - Enda Quain, Head of Distributed Infrastructure, AIB - Tam Kyle, Version 1 Licensing Practice - Approach and framework for enterprise cloud adoption for meaningful applications and services.

3 Version 1 Cloud Capability Evolution Moving to the cloud what s stopping you? Our Market expectations were not realised But we are now confident of Growth Internal Systems

4 Enterprise Cloud Adoption Barriers Delivers the expected benefits - cost reduction and opportunity for transformation - That customers think can be realised on cloud but remain to be convinced Resolves Adoption Concerns - data loss, privacy and integration - Concerns about loss of control if customers deploy Cloud Services Achieving a reassuring level of service - Building Excellence in Cloud enterprise products - Delivering a strong SLA, an expression of confidence to deliver enterprise class cloud computing

10 Licensing Considerations Utility computing boasts simplicity and low cost of access is this true? Real and significant barriers in adoption Challenge and opportunity with real life examples Approach and Framework

11 In cloud Simplicity and low cost?

12 Real and Significant barriers? Scared of moving from traditional, easily countable things like cpus and users Through midway offerings like IaaS, PaaS where software licensing is almost as before To subscription / utility based licensing BUT

13 The reality The simple fact is it s already complicated - A CPU is a socket or a core, or a thread, or a virtual CPU, in a server, a computer, in a place where something happens, in a virtual machine, in a cluster, at an address - The server has resilience, and is backed up by tape, is a member of a failover ring, has an active-active partnership, is disk protected, provides multi-environment services, is replicated across continents - A user is named, (or concurrent, or is really a device ) - Accesses services via a pc in the office, or at home, has a tablet, a phone, works from a café, over Citrix, is an internal and/or external use Cloud licensing is simply a set of these variables being flexed far more dynamically towards real time utility

14 The reality Is entitlement any different? - Legacy generally uses permanent licenses or more rightly perpetual static till terminated - Secured via an upfront capital cost and an ongoing revenue or maintenance stream - Vendors have historically wanted to protect revenue streams - But

15 The reality - licensing The whole is Hybrid in license terms - You can bring current permanent licenses to the cloud and mix with compute-as-you-go based platform BYOL - You can buy subscription points use as you go - You can have true pay as you go utility based pricing - You can get loyalty bonuses - Pre-emptible instances - Flexing and bursting is technically rapid - but licenses don t (yet) fully work that way. - Resilience is built in and therefore ignorable.. - Provision at the press of a button It s all about control, risk and governance

16 3 real customer scenarios Client one the Good benefits, improved agility - AWS usage - Massive flexing - Consideration of AWS policy - Use of non AWS cloud and conversion of existing maintenance to cloud subscription points - AWS and other cloud usage managed as part of the overall Asset Base - Regular reporting on all assets to feed into license inventory balance - Project and program input for proactive consideration - Since not all products are cloud ready there is a hybrid mix subscription and BYOL

17 3 real customer scenarios Client two the Bad, not understanding the costs and controls - AWS use - AWS RDS/EC2 APIs to allow in-house provision of new environments - Technically very clever - But De-centralised, governance and control breakdown - Resilience at the flick of a switch - NO consideration of licenses

18 3 real customer scenarios Client three the Ugly - Existing hybrid cloud - Looking to transition to something else - SI partner proffered their own Cloud - As a comparison, rapidly spun up a full set of development environments with transitioned data for testing - Vendor responded.. - When is a cloud not a cloud? - It s a large server cluster - Software is deployed and therefore licensable

20 A take-away Cloud - Is not an easy get out from a license perspective - Needs as much if not more consideration than in-house - There are arguably more unknowns - With cloud there is now another layer (at least) between you and reality (your cloud provider may sub-let platform or infrastructure from someone else) you need to have more control, more discipline, more knowledge - Your contracts may not be sufficient in their current form to allow cloud use eg Microsoft License Mobility and SA - Unless it s contractually stated, licensing is YOUR responsibility white papers, policy documents, blogs, net-talk and here-say are NOT sufficient. - Understand and deliver on your SAM responsibilities

21 Enterprise Cloud Adoption Where is it at?

22 1) Meaningful Applications! Energy Credits system portable between on premise and Azure, > 99.95% SLA, DevOps Customer Inventory Analytics Tool, Global supply chain efficiency initiative, Data Warehouse - Tableau on AWS Storage as a service, integrated with on premise backup and recovery solutions, eliminating tape management

23 2) Across Industry Verticals SharePoint / O365 to 15,000 employees, technically challenging and significant organisational barriers, sets a precedence for industry and for other workloads Regulatory agency running secure reporting solution in a public cloud Secure reference architecture, externally validated replacing legacy solutions. Local Authority favouring the replacement of a legacy on premise Financials application for Oracle Fusion

24 Almost Greenfield Situation and a full outsource requirement. Some legacy Unix meant that full cloud solution not viable. A hybrid solution virtualised infrastructure with break-outs to Azure. Deploying O365, and replacing Citrix and all remote access requirements with cloud solution. 3) Hybrid Utility Computing

25 Gaining Momentum!

26 Reference Architecture Recommendations Cloud Roadmap Managed Services Develop the reference architecture Complete the integration tasks Target a specific application that is a meaningful proof of concept Classify applications by workload Assess application requirement Development of Cloud Strategy and definition of a Target Architecture Identify target applications and platform Migrate start with non-mission critical, gradually migrate critical / applications of record
