1 Making Leaders Successful Every Day

2 Why & How Enterprises Are Adopting the Cloud James Staten, VP, Principal Analyst

3 The bottom line 1. Public cloud adoption is driven by the business, not IT Empowered developers, Business Units driving public cloud use Majority of cloud platform apps are systems of engagement, SaaS integrations High developer adoption of IaaS, increasing use of higher level services 2. Private clouds are a work in progress Biggest challenge: corporate & IT culture change Internal private preferred, but not always best Not everything you virtualize is a candidate for the private cloud 3. Hybrid cloud is now, not future Most enterprise cloud apps are not 100% in the cloud Most enterprises are not migrating apps to the cloud they are evolving them

4 Why cloud? Suitability & delivery speed Top 5 Reasons To Select A Cloud Platform Why did your development team choose the cloud environments that you currently use? Is well-suited to the type of app that I needed to build 38% Fastest way for me to get my project done and deployed Lower costs than on-premises environments Makes it easy for me to create applications 29% 32% 31% Java support 27% Base: 325 NA and European software developers using cloud; Source: Forrsights Developer Survey, Q Forrester Research, Inc.

5 A huge shift to cloud environments is predicted in next two years How much of the server-side code that you write is deployed to cloud environments today? How do you expect that to change in the future? <20% 20% to 39% 40% to 59% 60% to 79% 80% to 99% 100% Don t know Current 40% 24% 16% 6% 3% 5% 6% 2015 (estimate) 11% 23% 15% 30% 6% 4% 11% 2017 (estimate) 6% 13% 19% 18% 20% 11% 13% Base: 124 global enterprise software developers; Source: Forrsights Developer Survey, Q Forrester Research, Inc.

8 IT s view: Internal private clouds strongly preferred Which type of cloud computing infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is your firm most interested in adopting? Internal private cloud (IaaS in your company's or a colocated data center, for internal use only) 57% Hosted private cloud (IaaS on dedicated physical infrastructure at a service provider) 30% Public cloud (pay-per-use hosting of virtual servers at a service provider, with shared physical servers) 14% Sample Size = 257; [Interesting or planning but not using cloud IaaS] Source: Forrsights Hardware Survey, Q3 2013

12 Recommendations Public cloud: Start with Systems of Engagement Learn how cloud deployments differ Understand the economic model and how to leverage it Understand the Uneven Handshake Private cloud: Start with the developer expectation Standardize and automate everything possible Self-service is IT s friend Incent the proper use of the cloud environment Think Hybrid now Initial need: an integration architecture Vend cloud services centrally Don t have an agenda do what s right for the business need Start shifting IT ops to a continuous operations model

13 Cloud success requires mastering the Uneven Handshake Vendor responsibility Physical support infrastructure (facilities, rack space, power, cooling, cabling, etc) Abstracted services (SaaS application, hosted framework, hypervisor, virtual firewall,, etc) Physical and virtual infrastructure security and availability (servers, storage, network bandwidth, etc) Network (virtual networking) Storage (write verification) Element management Your application Business responsibility Architectural views (e.g., scalability, availability, recovery, data quality, and security) Governance (who has authority / responsibility to make changes and how) Lifecycle management (birth, growth, failure, and recovery) Enterprise integration (Identity management, access control, etc.) Testing, monitoring, diagnosis, and verification Network of metadata (categories, capabilities, configurations, and dependencies)
