13 So What s a Cloud? Cloud Computing is a way of doing computing Enterprise Bridging Cloud Service Providers (CSP) Private Cloud Operated and solely for an organization, typically within the firewall Hybrid Cloud Composition of 2 or more interoperable clouds, enabling data and application portability Public Cloud Accessible over the Internet for general consumption 2012 FOCUS - Hosted Private Cloud Operated and tailored solely for an organization, typically within the firewall, hosted by a CSP 1/20/ FOCUS

19 Public Lessons for Private Cloud Focus on delivering services to business users IT as a service provider, users as service consumers Must be easy to consume or users go public Define a service once (apps, drivers, hw, tools, mgmt and policies), then deploy whenever/wherever Standardization, automation are key 26-Jan FOCUS

21 Reference Architecture 26-Jan FOCUS

22 Private Cloud Considerations Define & prioritize requirements Automation/orchestration opportunities: policy based optimization, disaster recovery/avoidance, provisioning, configuration management, change control, usage tracking/billing Consider roles of various vendors/tools Infrastructure vendors/tools - server, storage and networking hardware OS/virtualization platform vendors ESM vendors/tools Match out-of-the-box functions with top priorities Start small but consider scale requirements Build vendor short list and evaluate during POCs Integration points will be key After initial automation, consider cost visibility as throttle before self service Get expert help virtualization vendors (platform vendors and ecosystem startups), system integrators, virtualization/cloud management vendors, infrastructure vendors, cloud service providers 26-Jan FOCUS

23 Drivers/goals 1: Cost savings* 2: Business agility Barriers Public Cloud Drivers and Concerns 1: Security* - access security, regulatory compliance, data privacy, data location/provenance 2: Vendor lock-in, data portability, disaster recovery/tolerance/avoidance *Source: Quest Study by Norwich University, School of Graduate and Continuing Studies 26-Jan FOCUS

24 Usage and Plans 84% of organizations at least one cloud application 38% have a written strategic plan for cloud adoption Both cloud users* and non-users** say security concerns are holding them back from further adoption Current cloud users* predict 34% of 2016 IT budget will be spent on cloud resources and applications In 5 years, those not currently in the cloud, project they will spend 28% of their budget on cloud Source: CDW-G 2011 CLOUD COMPUTING TRACKING POLL 26-Jan FOCUS

29 Platform as a Service Google App Engine, Salesforce Force.com, Heroku, Springsource, MS Azure Enterprise mainframe environment middleware based systems 26-Jan FOCUS

30 IaaS vs. PaaS IaaS Any OS Limited by capacity of VM Scale by adding more VMs Many storage options (file system, object, keyvalue, RDBMS) PaaS Use only selected languages and built-in APIs Limited by governors to avoid overloading Scaling is automatic 26-Jan FOCUS

34 Public vs. Private Pros Cons Public Cost efficiencies Lack of control No investment Security concerns Risk of new paradigm Private Customization Ongoing operations Complete control Distraction from Biz 26-Jan FOCUS

35 Public Cloud Landscape Private Vendor list is not exhaustive Servers 2012 FOCUS - Desktops 1/26/ FOCUS

36 Selection Process: Considerations Identify selection team Develop criteria with ranking & weight Evaluate value of technical services (cost vs. features) Identify must haves vs. nice to haves Identify providers to be excluded (if any) Define what to outsource: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, Mgd. Services Define SLA key objectives Identify providers that address your critical set of requirements 1/27/ FOCUS

37 Provider Selection Criteria: Considerations Transformation Assistance analysis and consulting On Premise/Off Premise Geographies supported Technology - HW, SW, virtualization platforms, currency, release cycle, compatibility, security, DR, RAS Service history failure rate, SLA history Range of services and customization Customization capabilities SLA metrics and KPIs availability, penalties, flexibility Experience overall, customer base, financial stability, vertical, customer size, reputation Cost 1/26/2012

38 Closing Considerations & Recommendations Embrace the paradigm shift to Cloud everywhere as appropriate Private cloud: virtualized, optimized, and automated operates as selfmanaging, self-service, virtual infrastructure Public cloud/community: , document sharing, word processing, web portals 1/26/2012 Integration across data center silos key to delivering IT as a Service Servers, storage, networking, security, desktops, applications, mobile CIO/IT becomes the strategic advisor for ALL computing 2012 FOCUS

39 What does it all mean Hybrid clouds are the way of the future leverage public/community where practical today, and move internal IT toward private cloud where possible The virtualization/cloud ecosystem continues to grow and change rapidly Virtualization is the foundation for private cloud for servers and desktops/apps A well-managed, optimized, and automated virtual infrastructure is the key to advancing virtualization. With self-service and consumption-based pricing, this will be the path to private cloud The virtual infrastructure / private cloud infrastructure of the future must break the IT silos and integrate Servers, storage, networking, security, desktops, applications, mobile computing This new well-managed virtual infrastructure requires a new level of standardization and automation to deliver competitive dynamic, elastic service delivery for private cloud and ultimately integration with public cloud 26-Jan FOCUS
