Origin of Cloud A TIMELINE OF SERVICE DEVELOPMENT…

Possible Origins of Cloud ◦ The sixties with ARPANET and J.C.R. Licklider

◦ Scientist John McCarthy – offered up that computing should be delivered as a public utility, like a service bureau (also coined during the sixties)

◦ Salesforce.com in 1999

◦ Amazon Web Service in 2002

March of 1999 – Al Gore invented the Internet!

Origin of Cloud AN OPINION PAGE…

Cloud has been well socialized as a service model… Smartphones and Tablets have provided users at all levels of an organization the experience of:

◦ Having an application for most anything you need

◦ Having access to it with the click of a button (and perhaps $4.99)

◦ Application functionality that is upgraded regularly (automatically)

◦ Your data is always there when you need it

Cloud Impact! EXPECTATIONS FOR SERVICE CONTINUE TO GROW

People Expect: ◦ Network Connectivity, anywhere, anytime

◦ There’s an App for that!

◦ It’s just expected to work, both uptime and functionality

◦ Security is expected

◦ What does it take to deliver these applications, these services?

WHO CARES!?!

IT Perspective THE PAST

Traditionally we had to understand and run the infrastructure, IT Teams therefore must worry about:

◦ Network, Servers, Storage, Desktops

◦ Now Wireless, Voice and Collaboration

◦ Backups, Capacity Planning, Performance Optimization, Disaster Recovery

◦ Implementation of new applications or upgrades

◦ Customization for special requirements

Users, however, only care about getting to their data and applications!

IT Perspective THE FUTURE

Cloud typically comes with large components of the required infrastructure baked in:

◦ Core Network Components ◦ Servers and Storage ◦ Connectivity and Security ◦ Backups, Capacity Planning, Performance Optimization, Disaster Recovery

and more…

Users STILL care most about getting to their data and applications

8/26/2013 A PRESENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING 22

Page 22: CTO Managed and Hybrid Cloud Servicesilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/1501887/ETPG6.pdf · Cloud & IaaS LETS EXAMINE THE ROAD AHEAD… We will take a look at: The Business

IT Perspective THE PRESENT

Understand and be a forward thinker. As-a-Service means just that, and companies are moving to it at a high rate of speed because:

◦ There is real value in the model.

It’s not just the economies of scale on the hardware, it’s also: ◦ The process of procurement being greatly reduced

◦ Design, development and implementation being simplified

◦ Less effort required for ongoing management of these environments

◦ IT Disciplines are inherent in the offering – Backups, Capacity Planning, Performance Optimization, Disaster Recovery and more… are built-in!

IT Perspective THE FUTURE IS DEFINITELY IT-AS-A-SERVICE

If you’re not ready to investigate the value of cloud computing for your firm here are some steps you can take:

◦ Don’t let any vendors talk to your firm without first screening them

◦ In particular, NO CONSULTANTS!!!

◦ Make sure that any staff augmentation folks stick to the work at hand

◦ Be watchful of what trade rags your firm receives

For the non-adventurous among us, these are dangerous times!

8/26/2013 A PRESENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING 25

THE PROMISE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Cloud technology advances help organizations…

◦ Supplant their traditionally complex environments

◦ Utilize more agile, elastic and scalable frameworks

◦ Create a more productive workspace and core IT

infrastructure

Business Perspective

8/26/2013 A PRESENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING 26

THE HEADACHE OF PROGRESS

Understandably…

◦ Many organizations and CIOs don’t know where to begin

◦ It is an overwhelming prospect to revamp one’s workspace or core

infrastructure that has served them well for years

◦ Making sense of a vast vendor landscape adds to the confusion, as

does the difficulty in articulating a business case for change

◦ Managing the migration to cloud can be time-consuming, disruptive,

difficult and expensive

Business Perspective

8/26/2013 A PRESENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING 27

THE RISKS!

With so much at stake…

◦ Can CIOs rely on Cloud to support their firm’s business objectives?

◦ Will Cloud really provide needed improvements or simply add to the complexity of your IT environment?

◦ Will these changes impact user productivity or worse, impact the functionality of the applications your firm relies on?

◦ With the pace of change in Cloud technologies how can you be sure that the investments made today will offer long-lasting value?

Page 27: CTO Managed and Hybrid Cloud Servicesilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/1501887/ETPG6.pdf · Cloud & IaaS LETS EXAMINE THE ROAD AHEAD… We will take a look at: The Business

Business Perspective PRESSURE FROM ON-HIGH!

C-level Executives and Owners are definitely interested in IT-as-a-Service: ◦ They read the trade rags, they talk with their peers

◦ Even the notion of such benefits stirs real and justified business interest

◦ More organizations are proving its value everyday

Keep in mind most firms won’t leap into the cloud: ◦ Walk before you run

◦ Start doing your homework now, create that long term strategy

◦ Get the advice of people with actual experience

Hypervisor Evaluation OPINION – NOT FACT…

8/26/2013 A PRESENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING 38

Hyper-V – Microsoft’s virtualization platform. ◦ Build on modified Xen Architecture

◦ Hyper-V 3.0 making significant inroads in the private data center

◦ Adoption in Cloud computing is still limited

◦ Hyper-V with Windows Datacenter offers a one-and-done license model

◦ Datacenter brings virtual Windows servers and integrated management with Microsoft System Center easing the deployment, administration and management of this environment.

Hypervisor Evaluation OPINION – NOT FACT…

8/26/2013 A PRESENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING

39

Citrix Open Source Xen Hypervisor ◦ Runs some of the largest clouds in existence (Amazon/Facebook)

◦ Minimal software costs with robust enterprise and cloud features

◦ Supported versions of Open Source, Xen and Cloud Stack

◦ An extremely scalable platform

◦ A favorite for Linux workloads but just as functional for Windows

◦ Truly the platform big cloud has been built on to date

Hypervisor Evaluation OPINION – NOT FACT…

8/26/2013 A PRESENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING 40

VMware vSphere – The original Virtualization platform ◦ The gold standard in the datacenter (IBM of virtualization)

◦ Additional features and acquisitions have rounded out its Cloud capabilities

◦ Cost has been a significant deterrent to wide-scale adoption

◦ For virtualization there is no better product out there

◦ For Cloud, VMware is still playing catch-up

Note: as new orchestration tools arrive on the scene it will enable VMware‘s virtualization abilities to be better utilized as a Cloud platform.

A Quick Comparison MEASURING UP – VIRTUALIZED SERVERS

vSphere is purpose built for virtualization

Hyper-V and XenServer both rely on general purpose OS’s (Windows & Linux) for basic hardware functionality

This tends to give VMware a performance edge.

1) VMware 2) Citrix 3) Microsoft (just an opinion)

This will soon change over time…

A Quick Comparison MEASURING UP – VIRTUALIZED DESKTOPS

Traditional Servers are high RAM, Sporadic CPU

Desktops are the opposite, heavier on the CPU

VMware‘s CPU thread management lacks a little when it comes to high rates of context switching

Hyper-V and Xen, because of the CPU assignment, tend to perform much better in this space

Latest XenServer is seeing 500 desktops per host

A Quick Comparison MEASURING UP – TOOLS, MANAGING YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Virtualization and Cloud are NOT THE SAME

Cloud relies on virtualization but it is much more than that

To extend virtualization across multiple locations maintaining the look of a single realm requires more than a stack of hosts, it requires orchestration – aka Cloud

A Quick Comparison MEASURING UP – TOOLS, MANAGING YOUR ENVIRONMENT

VMware & Citrix have commercial Cloud platforms

Microsoft focus – Private Cloud, no orchestration

VMware vCloud Director – vSphere support only

Citrix – Support XenServer, Redhat KVM, vSphere and is expected to support Hyper-V by Q1 2014

Multi-platform orchestration simplifies migrations of data/configurations

Tools! THE RIGHT TOOLS – A KEY INGREDIENT FOR CLOUD

vCloud (Vmware) and Cloud Platform (Citrix) provide orchestration for each layer

OpenStack is an option, many flavors = challenges

Stick with a major vendor for now, keep in mind this is for a mature organization, not needed when you start to Crawl or Walk with Cloud

Private Cloud is typically overkill for one Firm

Tools! THE RIGHT TOOLS – A KEY INGREDIENT FOR CLOUD

But if you are leveraging full Cloud…

Multi-vendor orchestration means options for the right hypervisor, storage and networking workloads

A Cloud advantage = breaking away from proprietary stacks, a commodity approach to compute services

Technology in this space will change rapidly over the next few years, being agile and flexible is critical.

Your Application on IaaS CRAWL OR WALK BEFORE YOU RUN!

Pick a very Independent Application…

One that is as standalone as possible

Data is self-contained

Interactions with other applications is minimal

On your first pass, make sure you are building the road to integration with your infrastructure

IaaS – Service First IAAS WORKS BEST WHEN SERVICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Don’t just move your hardware to the Cloud

Your problems won’t change when you simply fork-lift compute and storage to the Cloud

Utilize “As-A-Service” Services!

Providers are already experiencing hardships when strong services don’t match the good platform they are offering

Page 57: CTO Managed and Hybrid Cloud Servicesilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/1501887/ETPG6.pdf · Cloud & IaaS LETS EXAMINE THE ROAD AHEAD… We will take a look at: The Business

Common Misconceptions DO NOT TAKE CLOUD FOR GRANTED…

It’s Easy - It’s Easier ONLY IF you have aligned the particular cloud service with the appropriate business needs

Care Free - Remember your Responsibilities in IaaS

Elasticity is over-emphasized for IaaS – size up cloud for what you are using/need, elasticity is a feature you will use occasionally

It’s Secure – Not so, try Hybrid Cloud to reduce risks

It Performs Well – Check the stats on your provider! Test It!
