1. So, what is all this talk about Clouds anyway?
Presented by
Braun Martin

2. Cloud = New Approach Old Issues
Cloud Computing is an approach to computing that leverages the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure, consumed as a service. Emerging standards are shaping the way businesses and consumers will interact in the future.
Efficiency thru Utilization and Automation
Agility with Control
Freedom of Choice
Pooling From machines to on-demand, highly elastic resource pools
Zero-touch Infrastructure Policy-driven automation of provisioning, deployment and management
Self-Service Easy access with policy- based provisioning and deployment
Control Application-aware infrastructure with built-in availability, scalability, security and performance guarantees
Open & Interoperable Application mobility between clouds, based on open standards
Leverage Existing Investments Benefits of cloud computing to existing applications and datacenters

3. How we got here Cloud Web PC / Client-Server Mainframe
Cloud Computing is transforming the delivery of applications as services

9. No matter where you are, a cloud journey requires...
Cloud Services
A structured, service lifecycle approach
Capability model and roadmap that addresses people, process and technology
A flexible design you can evolve for tomorrow’s cloud model
Solution architecture blueprints that provide customization to protect key investments already made
Solid Implementation plan built on real life projects

10. What is Driving the Cloud? Business Continuity!
Cost of Downtime Per Hour
Availability expectations continue to increase
RTO’s decreasing from >24 hours to <12 hours
Cost of downtime continues to rise
Increasing dependence on x86 infrastructure

Almost 60% of surveyed companies incurred significant financial damage as a result of systems failure in the past year
-- Economist Intelligence Unit 10

11. Business Continuity Comes in Many Flavors
Business unit(s) needs more computing resources for existing function ASAP for performance purposes
Budget, procure, build, test, deploy = not fast
Business unit(s) needs new application function now or they won’t win the big new customer
Design, budget, RFP, POC, build, train, test, deploy = even slower
IT needs to get latest security updates and patches out to the field w/o affecting users
Disaster Recovery

12. Requirements for Business Continuity Solutions
Control Cost
Minimize Downtime
Minimize Risk
73% of executives expressed concern with the costs associated with maintaining a secondary data centre
--Beacon Technology Partners
93% of companies that lost their data center for ten days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster.
--National Archives and Records Administration
92% of users surveyed acknowledged that their companies would face serious consequences if they had to implement their disaster recovery plans.
--Dynamic Markets Ltd.
Effective business continuity is imperative.
But is very difficult to achieve using traditional means

13. Cloud Architecture Enables:
Increase Computation Resources on the fly
Increase CPU/Memory/Disk as needed
Provision new systems on the fly
Greatly lowers the acquisition costs
Test Environments that are identical to Production systems
Clones and even work off the same data sets in real time
Automated Disaster Recovery Services

14. Protection Against Unplanned Downtime
Component Failure
Leverage redundant network and storage connections
Share redundancy across workloads
Server Failure
Automatic restart of virtual machines; High Availability automatically restarts VMs on other servers in the pool
Continuous protection
Site Failure
Automated failover X 14

15. We Get it, We want Cloud Architecture. What’s next ?
To deploy to the Cloud, the next steps are to understand and define:
Monitoring - how is my app performing ?
Updates - What is the policy?
a) Updating app requires reconfiguring my app.
b) Rollback : update did not work, need to revert back.
c) rolling upgrades
Runtime configurations. Do we changes in external dependencies?
Auto scale out – scale in. What are the rules?
Chargeback. Who is going to be paying for it?

16. Once Requirements are Defined:
The selection process for Internal vs. Private vs. Public will be more clear
Most companies start with one method then adopt others for a blended approach
Business Strategy and IT Strategy come together
By defining the rules together, everyone is on the same page for a company wide win
Question your vendors for their roadmaps
This will assist you with ensuring that you are in step with where your providers are headed

17. Of Course, there are still questions and uncertainty
Am I really doing what’s right for the business?
Scalability
Performance
Security
Cost
Auditing
Reliability
Control
Service levels
Governance
Availability
LOB/IT CIO
Compliance
Data security & protection 17

18. Seek some outside Assistance
This space is still emerging and vendors are jockeying for position and market share.
Standards are still being defined and refined
There have been huge successes that have paid off handsomely
Prepare for change
