Another Way To Look At It.. 5
Hybrid Cloud Definition Hybrid Cloud is an environment that spans one or more public clouds as well as one or more private clouds and/or other internal environments 6
Why Hybrid Cloud some benefits (Gartner). Hybrid cloud computing extends the benefits that can be gained by using cloud computing: Internal private cloud computing can help maximize asset utilization. Hybrid cloud computing can maximize the value and balance the use of internal assets and external services (e.g., deploying services internally that could also be deployed to public cloud services when the internal capacity is available) while enabling better scalability. Cloud computing can help with cost efficiency. Hybrid cloud computing can maximize cost efficiency through competition and automated arbitrage (perhaps not as fluid as a financial market, but more fluid than manually choosing one provider over another). Private cloud computing ensures isolation. Hybrid cloud computing allows an enterprise to balance isolation, cost and scaling requirements. Cloud computing can enable high availability and resiliency. Hybrid cloud computing can improve resilience and disaster recovery by leveraging multiple providers. Cloud computing can introduce new functionality quickly. Hybrid cloud computing makes it easier to leverage new functionality quickly, with better agility. Cloud computing ensures a low barrier to entry. Hybrid cloud computing can help an enterprise build-in an exit strategy. 7
Quantifiable Economics of Hybrid Cloud Life Cycle Costs (LCC) and Economic Summary Booz Allen Hamilton Exhibit 1 LCCs and Economic Summary Costs/Economic Metrics Investment Phase Costs FY1-3 (FY-1 M$) Status Quo: 1,000 Server (Non-Virtualized) Environment Scenario 1: Public Cloud Scenario 2: Hybrid Cloud $0 $3.0 $6.1 $7.0 O&S Phase Costs FY1 13 (FY-1 M$) $77.3 $22.5 $28.9 $31.1 Total LCCs (FY-01 M$) $77.3 $25.5 $35.0 $38.1 Economic Metrics: NPV (FY-1 M$) N/A $41.8 $33.7 $31.1 BCR N/A 15.4 6.8 5.7 DPP (Years) N/A 2.7 3.5 3.7 Scenario 3: Private Cloud Net present value (NPV) is calculated as each cloud scenario s discounted net benefits (reduced O&S costs relative to the status quo (SQ) environment s O&S costs). A positive dollar figure indicates a positive economic benefit versus the SQ environment. NPV is an absolute economic metric. Benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) is calculated as each cloud scenarios discounted net benefits divided by it s discounted investment costs. A number greater than 1.0 indicates a positive economic benefit versus the SQ environment. BCR is a relative economic metric. Discounted payback period (DPP) reflects the number of years (from FY1) it takes for each scenario s accumulated annual benefits to equal it s total investment costs. Note: This model assumes hybrid cloud scenarios closer those for private cloud, assuming 75% migration to private cloud and 25% to public cloud. If assuming the opposite mix, hybrid cloud results will be closer to public cloud results. Two most influential factors: Reduction in hardware due to virtualization The length of the hybrid cloud migration schedule 8

Hybrid Cloud Considerations follow a familiar pattern.. RISK PROCESS/GOVERNANCE PEOPLE TECHNICAL FINANCIAL 15
Some General Risk Considerations what others exist? HOW CRITICAL IS THE APPLICATION TO THE BUSINESS? HOW SENSITIVE IS THE DATA? WHERE IS THE APP SUBJECT TO REGULATORY COMPLIANCE? 16
Architecture Considerations Also Include. HOW HEAVILY CUSTOMIZED IS THE APPLICATION? HOW TIGHTLY INTEGRATED IS THE APPLICATION? DOES THE APP HAVE ANY SHARED PHYSICAL COMPONENTS? WHAT DEGREE OF FUNCTIONAL SEPARATION IS THERE WITHIN THE APPLICATION? 17
Cloud and Hybrid Cloud is cheaper than dedicated infrastructure, right? 18
Not Necessarily A UNIT OF PUBLIC CLOUD CAN BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A UNIT OF DEDICATED HOSTING HOW CAN WE REDUCE COSTS BY LEVERAGING CLOUD? ANSWER: EXPLOIT VARIATION IN DEMAND 19

Additional Cloud Definitions Public Cloud: A collection of compute, storage, and network resources which is multi-tenant and is provided by a cloud vendor with access via an API endpoint. Private Cloud: A similar set of resources for a single tenant that are accessed via an API endpoint. Multi-Cloud: An environment that spans two or more separate clouds, be they both public, both private, or one (or more) of each. 22
