- IT led template creation with control
- Metering and Chargeback
Hosted Private Cloud
- Effective consolidation, automation and delivery of resource pools
- Flexible template creation and rapid roll-out
- On-demand provisioning
- Micro-billing and chargeback

Public Clouds
- Self-service portal
- Standard and custom template creation
- Dynamic resource assignment and efficient resource usage
- Micro-billing and chargeback
Hybrid Clouds
- Platform agnosticness
- Multi-cloud management
- Rapid control of resource pool, both on and off-premise
- Metering and Chargeback
Cloud Automation Use Cases

Cloud Computing : User Migration Path
Awareness
• Awareness through attending seminars, networking, reading
Interest
• Talk with peers, BU heads / IT teams on viability, Discuss with vendors and service providers
Pilot• Choose “specific projects” to run pilots. Formulate best practices, lessons learnt
16
Analysis
• Conduct IT baseline assessment, Internal/external outreach, Suitability of cloud types, Finalize “Cloud ready” data and apps
Implementation
• Organization wide outreach, Communicate clearly goals, progress, and benefits, Share success stories and analyze failures
Improvement
• Focus on continuous improvement, Cloud isn’t a destination but a journey

Implications of Cloud Computing
•Business skills such as project, relationship management will take front-seat
• Cloud will run on Commoditized, open source platforms with stringent SLA’s
It is all about Business
• IT automation will render several “dull” IT jobs obsolete
• Skills in demand will include technical architects, vendor relationship managers, risk management professionalsIT departments will shrink
• SMB’s have an unique ability to scale quickly and obtain access to enterprise class infrastructure
SMB’s will have access to

access to enterprise class infrastructure
• Advent of start-ups that live in the “Cloud” with no infrastructure
SMB’s will have access to Enterprise class ICT
resources
•MNC’s and Conglomerates will offer “IT as a Service” both internally potentially to external customers as well
• Drastic improvements in efficiency, effectiveness and measurability of IT
Conglomerates will become “Service providers”
• “ Browser” is the software and “Internet” is the network
• Ubiquitous access from any device, anytime, anywhere, any networkBrowser is the software
