Agenda

• Trends and Challenges in the Cloud Marketplace • Case Studies – Enterprise Transformation via Cloud • How can Huawei Help? • Summary and Questions

Why Should You Care?

• The emerging cloud trends create strategic imperatives for the Enterprise.

• They are evidence of further transformation in the Enterprise • IT as a “Support” Platform to Value Generating Platform

• Focus shifts from support of devices to support of user context

• The trends support competitive differentiation

• They have to be considered collectively – not unilaterally

Key Trends in the Cloud Marketplace

• Computing Everywhere

• The Internet of Things

• Advanced, Pervasive and Invisible Analytics

• Context-Rich Systems

• Smart Machines

• The Rise of the Container Movement

• Software-Defined Applications and Infrastructure

• Web-Scale IT

• Risk-Based Security and Self-Protection

Trends toward Agile Infrastructures …

…that seamlessly integrate traditional fixed infrastructure with both

on-premise and off-premise cloud computing capabilities to provide a flexible pool of compute

resources managed seamlessly as if one

environment.

Emerging Trends are Driving Toward an Agile, Next Generation Infrastructure

Most of the IT investments made today are not directly adding value to the business

• Today operating and maintaining enterprise applications / infrastructure takes the lion share of effort and resource intensive activities

• Utilize Cloud, Agile Data Center techniques and Converged Infrastructure to create a Value Generating Platform

• In conjunction with Pre-Packaged Industry Solutions, the aim is to ensure shortest time to market to enable the required capabilities for the Enterprise

The Opportunity

The Potential is Significant: Value-Add on Three Levels

1. Leverage IT capabilities to provide more efficient and elastic services to the business

2. Use elastic services to change the way business processes are executed and unlock constrained opportunities

3. Let the CEO explore new business models that surpass the limitations of the traditional non-cloud model

Challenge #4 – Achieving Web Scale

Server-Centric Silos Web-Scale Cloud

(Converged Cloud)

Unit of Scale Add VMs (<10) for long term use Spawning and releasing hundreds of VMs in seconds.. With Chef/Puppet via APIs

Software Architecture Tightly coupled singled instance apps (vertical scaling)

Loosely coupled multi-instance apps (horizontal scaling)

Fault Tolerance In Hardware, With vMotion DR/HA Built into the applications

State Management App-centric database for transactional processing with one definitive record

Stateless apps with state maintained in multiple content stores for redundancy

Case Studies DRaaS – Manufacturing

Distributed Cloud Architecture – Media

• DRaaS solution facilitated automation of DR process

• DRaaS solution was located over 2000 miles from production environment

• Runbooks were created to facilitate operational consistency

• Standardization of DC architecture across multiple DC’s

• Continuous availability of Tier 1 applications

• Segmentation of DR solution to support different RTOs across the application stack

• Solution reduced annual DR costs by $34 Million USD

DRaaS Case Study Summary

Customer Challenge/Objectives

• Primary and Secondary Managed Data Center locations were less than one mile from each other. A disaster event at the Primary DC would have impacted Secondary DC site

• Heterogenous Storage Architecture made remote replication of data sets very complex

• Customer did not have Runbooks or an executable DR Plan even though they had an existing BCP

Response

• A BCP gap assessment was conducted which analyzed several viable DRaaS solution alternatives from a technical and business perspective

• A DraaS solution was selected and deployed utilizing OpenStack Resource Pool approach

• Runbook templates were created for the selected DRaaS solution

Solution Value/Benefits

Heavy Equipment Manufacturer primarily serving Military customers.

Key Solution Features

• Segment Tier 1, 2 and 3 applications in DR solution

• Deploy DRaaS solution in managed hosting site outside of region in which production DC was located

• Utilize 4 hour RTO and near zero RPO for Tier 1 applications

Assist Xinhua News Agency to Build Globally Distributed Cloud Data Centers

"Huawei's distributed cloud DC solution perfectly meets our

planning objectives to build a globally distributed cloud computing

system with multiple DCs centering on the headquarters, oriented

to global services. The solution also supported our emerging media

development as well as our strategic transition to an omnimedia

organization."

— Xinhua News Agency

Existing architecture cannot support omnimedia & global

service strategy.

Insufficient O&M engineers for service expansion.

Customer Requirements

Solutions

Two-layer architecture: HQ & regional centers. HQ provides

general services, regional center provides customized services.

VDC and right and domain–based management for secondary

units.

Operational Efficiency is improved by a factor of 5 X.

Service rollout time shortened from 90 days to 1 week.

O&M efficiency improved from 50 to 300 per person, no

additional O&M engineers for new cloud platform.

The Transformation Process

• Strategic Cycle • What is the strategic imperative?

• Engagement of Leadership in transformation

• Planning Cycle • Current State

• Future State Vision

• Transformation Plan

• Execution Cycle • Implementation Results

• Strategic Implications of Transformation

The Transformation Roadmap

How Do I Start the Journey?

•What is the ultimate Corporate strategy? The IT Strategy must be linked with the Corporate Strategy moving forward. •Don’t focus too much time on the technology decisions – these are not the most important considerations

•Discover your infrastructure •Discover your applications and application dependencies •Engage in Application Rationalization – what can be replaced; what can be virtualized •Facility evaluation – Retrofit, Build, Colo •Evaluate viable solution alternatives based on your discovery information •Choose a solution based on your established requirements

•Migration strategy is driven by several considerations:

•Bandwidth between existing sites and new sites •Use of swing gear where appropriate •The need to change data formats •BC/DR requirements •Hypervisor changes •The need to utilize new O/S licenses •How much application reinstall will be required?
