Cloud State of play + Predictions for 2012 and beyond

Simon Withers – 19th March 2012


State of play: ‘Cloud’


“I don’t care as long as it works”“The cloud is invisible”

“Somewhere to store data and applications”

“Something that only requires an internet connection”

“Being able to sleep at night knowing your servers won’t go down”

“It just lets you get on with business”

“Using a laptop on a plane”

“The foundation of next generation computing”

Cloud... Market still confused, hype, or is it for REAL?

“Another way for Vendor to rehash their product/service as a cloud”


‘as a Service’

Scalable & Elastic

Multi-tenant

Metered billing

Internet Technologies

Consumer concerns are abstracted from provider concerns through service interfaces

On-demand scalability adds or removes resources as needed, flexible contracting (short term, ease of exit)

Shared resources allow economies of scale

Services are tracked with usage metrics to enable multiple payment models

Services are delivered through use of standardized identifiers, formats, and protocols

4

Let’s remind ourselves….Five key essential characteristics of cloud


Apps running on Cloud infrastructure Accessible from a browser or (other) thin client

Consumer does not manage Cloud infrastructure

Consumer-created apps deployed to Cloud infrastructureConsumer does not manage Cloud infrastructure Does have control over the deployed applications

Consumer provisions processing, storage, networksConsumer does not manage Cloud infrastructure

Has an element of provisioning control1

5

The three common cloud models we all know today

‘Cloud Computing’


What it is

For use within a single

enterprise

For use by a group of

collaborating enterprises,

including supply or demand chains

For use by a single enterprise but via a service provider

For use by a group of

collaborating enterprises, but

via a service provider

Publicly accessible, developer

oriented shared cloud

State of play: Drivers, Goals & Markets


So far the Key Drivers & Goals for Cloud have been…

Reduce time to provision,

move, change

Increase time spent on

strategic projects

Improve utilisation across

all appsDeliver higher

application SLA’s

Key Drivers Key Goals

Increase IT operational

efficiency

Increase availability and

performance

*IDG Research & SunGard survey, 1st Draft 2010 2H

Majority (71%) of companies are or will be operational with cloud by 2H 2012

Most common use case for cloud is production application hosting

Customers now looking for Multi-site High Availability + the need for multi-cloud evaluations

LoadBalancing

Customers don’t want Downtime!

State of play: Risks of yesterday?


Traditional Enterprise IT Risks

Changing Market / Business conditions might need you to expand or contract

capacity

Unplanned disaster scenarios can

significantly disrupt regular business

operations

Breach of security and policy controls

can lead to business and

regulatory issues


Security

Cloud Risks are (Mostly) Old Wine in New Bottles

Compliance Connectivity

AvailabilityManageability


State of play: Predictions


The drive toward multi-cloud integration for the application need

Multi-Model / Multi - Vendor

Public / Private‘Holistic Cloud’


What can a Holistic Cloud Model look Like?

One seamless Cloud environment, always on, always there

Resilient NetworksCloud Desktops

CloudCommunications

Cloud/IaaS* running your APPs

Hybrid / Traditional IT

running your APPs

Outside Cloud

Cloud


Commercial Cloud ServicesExample:

MS SkyDrive vs. iCloud

Advent of ConsumerationWill bridge GAP betweenCommercial + EnterpriseDelivery of Clouds across

Home to Office, multi-devices

EnterpriseExample:

SalesForce, Amazon, SunGard

A shift towards closing the GAP between offerings

Single interface services to provide ‘cloud integration’

Cloud overview / monitoring

Cloud Cost Analytics

Cloud Cost, usage & availability Reporting


The death of IaaS as we know it!

Application Cloud / Enterprise App MallsPre-integrated middleware with cloud infrastructure

• Provisioning and automation• Storage system optimization• Scalability and upgradability

• Business intelligence• ISV applications (e.g., SAP CRM)

• Web experience

• Demand driven elasticity• Simplified system setup and install• Policy-based system management

• Simplified application migration• Web application deployment

• Transactional database deployment• Data mart deployment

Included in ‘Future’ / PaaS Clouds Available in catalog ‘Enterprise App Store’

However - same concerns will still be there even in 2015!
