• Hype meeting reality – outages, latency, service levels, predictability

• Private cloud failure, then success

State of the industry: Cloud

• Confusion about virtualization vs cloud

• Confusion between SaaS, IaaS, PaaS

• Virtualization success to-date = economics of consolidation

• Cloud drivers are agility, economics, and optimization

Virtualization + optimization + agility = cloud

State of the industry: Virtualization => Cloud

PAIN

PAIN

• 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

Public Lessons for Private Cloud


Cloud Benefits


Reference Architecture


• 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

Private Cloud Considerations


• Drivers/goals

– 1: Cost savings*

– 2: Business agility

• Barriers

– 1: Security* - access security, regulatory compliance, data privacy, data location/provenance

– 2: Vendor lock-in, data portability, disaster recovery/tolerance/avoidance

Public Cloud Drivers and Concerns


*Source: Quest Study by Norwich University, School of Graduate and Continuing Studies

• 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

Cloud Adoption


Cloud Applications


Source: CDW-G 2011 CLOUD COMPUTING TRACKING POLL

• Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud, Terremark, Gogrid, Joyent

• Most private clouds built on Xen, KVM, Hyper-V, or VMWare

Infrastructure as a Service


• Google App Engine, Salesforce Force.com, Heroku, Springsource, MS Azure

• Enterprise mainframe environment middleware based systems

Platform as a Service


IaaS • Any OS • Limited by capacity of VM • Scale by adding more VMs • Many storage options (file system, object, key-

value, RDBMS) PaaS • Use only selected languages and built-in APIs • Limited by governors to avoid overloading • Scaling is automatic

IaaS vs. PaaS


SaaS

Selection Process: Considerations

1/27/2012 36

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 36

Provider Selection Criteria: Considerations

1/26/2012

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

Integration across data center silos key to delivering IT as a Service Servers, storage, networking, security,

desktops, applications, mobile

Closing Considerations & Recommendations

1/26/2012

• Embrace the paradigm shift to Cloud everywhere as appropriate

Public cloud/community: email, document sharing,

word processing, web

portals…

Private cloud: virtualized, optimized, and

automated – operates as self-

managing, self-service, virtual

infrastructure

CIO/IT becomes the strategic advisor for ALL computing © 2012 FOCUS - www.focusonsystems.com 38

• 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

What does it all mean…
