Cloud Orchestration Market Summary
The addition of workloads and apps to cloud environments generates cloud orchestration opportunities for first-mover vendors
What is happening? Hybridization and the complexity of cloud are driving orchestration adoption. Ad hoc cloud integrations are the most common drivers of orchestration adoption, which is expected to become more pronounced as an increasing number of add-on software and applications layers from a growing number of vendors enter the market.
Barriers and benefits? Security is the top hindrance to adoption, but it is also the top benefit.
Users and self-identified future users of orchestration indicate security as the top area of concern around overall cloud initiatives. However, future users are far more concerned with security, demonstrating orchestration services’ ability to address and alleviate security barriers once adopted.
Who is winning? First movers at the forefront of the cloud wave are winning in orchestration.
The adoption of consulting services increased customer knowledge of the business and IT benefits of cloud orchestration services; as a result, first-mover vendors at the beginning of the cloud wave top the list of orchestration vendors.

Cloud Orchestration Market
Current Cloud Orchestration Market
Two-thirds of respondents do not use orchestration services, driving vendor opportunities for consulting and orchestration engagements
Current opportunity
Future opportunity, if marketed well
The proliferation of cloud offerings generated a rise in cloud orchestration adoption. Education through consulting and advisory services, as was done at the initial cloud adoption stage, needs to be conducted to make nonusers aware of the values and benefits of orchestration services.

Added IT and security complexity resulting from cloud environment hybridization drives orchestration purchases Reasons Behind Adoption and Use Cases for Cloud Orchestration
Current Cloud Orchestration Market
Orchestration users indicate that adding workloads and the push to hybrid clouds are the top triggers of cloud orchestration purchases. Cost savings is not a trigger of purchasing cloud orchestration, but rather a benefit of purchasing. Cost savings via improved operating efficiencies are the No. 1 benefit of orchestration adoption, according to purchasers.
Ad hoc cloud integration is the No. 1 use for cloud orchestration services. We expect this to continue as organizations shift largely to hybrid clouds and piece together different solutions that add capabilities to directly and positively affect business outcomes.

IT
Barriers and Benefits
Over 41% of respondents indicated they do not see a need for orchestration services, an education challenge for vendors to overcome
This trend was also prevalent in 2010, as cloud services arrived on the scene. Many believed cloud was a minor disruption, with limited need or use, while today we know cloud is a major change in the delivery of IT infrastructure.

13 TBR Quarterly Webinar Series | 3.25.14 | www.tbri.com | ©2014 Technology Business Research Inc.
Many respondents believe they have/will build skills internally to alleviate cloud pain points, but are still likely to hire a third party for security issues
Security is the cloud-related pain point most likely to be alleviated by a third party.
Barriers and Benefits
TBR
14 TBR Quarterly Webinar Series | 3.25.14 | www.tbri.com | ©2014 Technology Business Research Inc.
Current and future users expect improved efficiencies and performance as the biggest business and IT benefits of cloud orchestration adoption
Barriers and Benefits
The top benefits of orchestration services correspond with reduced costs for IT operations, indicating that orchestration services need to be promoted to IT departments, not line-of-business managers.

Competitive Landscape
EMC is considered as an orchestration vendor far more than it is chosen, indicating a big opportunity for the company to promote itself and its capabilities in the space. If EMC were to transition its considerers to users, it would rank among the top six vendors.
Software vendors are considered often for orchestration services, increasing competition and indicating a future adoption trend
On the other end of the spectrum, some vendors, and HP in particular, are used more often than they are considered, indicating a challenge in gaining new logos.

IBM and Microsoft tout the most adopted orchestration platforms, while Microsoft has the greatest mindshare among future users
Competitive Landscape
Opportunity
Gaining mindshare
First-mover vendors are the most adopted, but as more vendors enter the orchestration space, adoption will disperse, making it more difficult to indicate which is the leader, similar to what happened with the first wave of cloud adoption.

24 TBR Quarterly Webinar Series | 3.25.14 | www.tbri.com | ©2014 Technology Business Research Inc.
Cloud Computing Services Definitions
Cloud Computing Services:
Software as a Service (SaaS)
SaaS providers offer hosted applications to customers on an on-demand or per-use basis; therefore, customers can simply use the application or applications they need when they need them and avoid the cost of installing and maintaining supporting infrastructures. Typical software includes: CRM, analytics, asset management, knowledge management, document and content management.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
PaaS provides customers with the supporting infrastructure to either conduct software application development or run existing software. This includes the operating environment, which manages workflow and collaboration, and the underlying hardware, such as servers and networking.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Under IaaS, customers pay to gain access to infrastructure (e.g., hardware: compute and storage; software: ITSM and security; and/or networking), on a utility basis to run their licensed software.
Business Process as a Service (BPaaS)
BPaaS is an application delivered “as a Service” that is used by business process service provider personnel that perform activities on behalf of the service recipient. This service combines Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) with SaaS. Typical processes include: payments, advertising, industry operations and e-commerce enablement.

Cloud Environments Definitions
Cloud Environments:
Private cloud The cloud infrastructure, platform or application is operated solely for an organization. It may be managed by the organization or a third party and may exist on premises or off premises.
Public cloud The cloud infrastructure, platform or application is made available to the general public or a large industry group and is owned by an organization selling cloud services.
Hybrid cloud
A cloud infrastructure, platform or application that is a composition of two or more clouds (private or public) that remain unique entities, but are bound together (integrated) by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load-balancing between clouds); hybrid cloud can be cloud-to-cloud integrations with a single workload as well as across two or more workloads. Hybrid clouds include public cloud integrated with private cloud, private cloud integrated with private cloud, and public cloud integrated with public cloud. TBR defines hybrid cloud as cloud-to-cloud integrations across a single workload as well as between workloads.
Methods in which customers purchase clouds:
Third-party delivered Cloud services purchased and delivered through a third party (including ISVs, MSPs and professional services vendors)
Self-built cloud (components)
Hardware, software and networking components purchased to build a cloud internally
