SAP on VMware Automation Transformation
2
The Approach
3
• Cloud-based roles and org
• Workload centric resource models (e.g., e-mail)
• Co-sourced staff
• Automation & self service
• Consumption-based charge-back models
• Mature service framework to manage service-centric model
• Pervasive virtualization
• Converged architecture
• Federated workloads
• Pools of resources
Readiness: Prepare for Service Automation
Achieving the End-state Requires Significant Transformation
Enterprise IT Cloud
TECHNOLOGY
• Complex
• Expensive
• Inflexible
• Siloed
PROCESS
• Little infrastructure automation
• Services allocated to LOB or application owner
• ITIL-based services frameworks loosely applied
PEOPLE
Organizational silos of
• Infrastructure (compute, storage, network)
• Application & management
• Security

Speed and Agility Lead to Increased Revenue
Time to market is paramount
– Reduce or Eliminate Labor Based Provisioning of Infrastructure
– Application backlog is unrealized revenue opportunity
– New cloud application and infrastructure models accelerate time
to deployment
Windows of opportunity open and close quickly
– SAP Cloud Service removes obstacles to establishing early market
response
–Fail faster to win
– Experiment in the marketplace to validate opportunities and
clarify requirements
Adapted from Tom Bittman, Gartner
