“The term ‘superpowers’ conjures an image of major nations shaping the course of global history. But in the digital era, I believe it’s time we expanded that definition to include four extraordinary technological superpowers that promise to wield as much influence over the next 20 years as any nation state: mobile technology, the cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT)”

Why Multi-Cloud?Top 5 Reasons for a Multi-Cloud Strategy



But, getting ”cloud” right is difficult…

Private cloud is not easy

• Complex, costly, difficult to operate

• Non-optimized, mismatched hardware

• Hard to keep up with public cloud services

Public cloud has its challenges

• Change is difficult• Security & data sovereignty• Cost, lack of visibility,

governance

Hybrid/Multi cloud requires planning

• Migration complexities, integration challenges

• Security• Lack of standards• Networking challengesVMworld 2018 Content: Not for publication or distribution

Regulatory Compliance

• In most cases, the services you need can be delivered from multiple sources, both on-prem and in the public could, depending on your specific need.

• As the ‘cloud maturity’ of your business increases, you may move from one platform to another.

Data Must Remain Compliant with applicable regulatory requirements policies and SLA’s

Data Must Remain Secure at rest and in-motion

• The cloud is constantly evolving, offering newer and more efficient ways of delivering services. Keep looking to improve on previous decisions

• It’s important to move purposefully, but not to attempt too much change without carefully considering all the implications

Developer Use Case




• There are many decision points in the cloud journey.

• Missteps cost time, money and credibility.

• It is essential to have a well thought out strategy before launching to the cloud.

What is your target utilization objective?

• Balance - Workloads are evenly spread out

• Consolidate – Workloads are placed maximize utilization aka densification

How much risk is acceptable?

• Headroom provides a buffer of space for the cluster

• Reduces risk from bursts or unexpected demand

How to drive placement based on business needs?• Tags-based placement

• SLA Tiers: Gold, Silver Bronze

• License Policies: Windows, Oracle, Linux

• Compliance: PCI, HIPAA

• App affinity policies

Turn on self-driving operations

• Run it now based on recommendation

• Schedule it for an automated ongoing optimization

• Automate to run when performance troubles occur

Private Cloud


Your Multi-Cloud Strategy, Operations made easySelf-driving Operations – Right-size workloads on your Private Cloud

VMware Cloud Migration presents an opportunity…

• Right-size all VM’s.

• Undersized – Struggling for resources

• Oversized – Clogging up the workload “CPU Ready & Co-Stop”

• Automate – Scale Up operations



Private Cloud


Your Multi-Cloud Strategy, Operations made easy



Understand dependencies to plan your cloud migrations

Service Discovery• Discover and list services

and display the relationship between selected service and other services on other VMs.

• Visualize relationship of selected VM with other VMs

• Service Breakdown Across Environment

• Validate SRM protection group and recovery plan membership

Private Cloud


Your Multi-Cloud Strategy, Costing made easy



Model the cost of migrating your workloads to other clouds

Cost Comparison• Compare the

cost of running specific workloads in other clouds

• Compare the cost of a VM or application between your datacenters.

Private Cloud

Compare your Datacenter costs

Compare your Cloud costs


Your Multi-Cloud Strategy, Costing made easy



Track the costs of your current public cloud workloads

Public Cloud• Provides Visibility

and breakdown of your current cloud costs.

• Empowers decision making on workload placement

Private Cloud


Start your multi-cloud journey with a Private Cloud…and as you build capability, experience and skills extend to cover multi cloud use cases

Every organisation needs a multi-cloud strategy to accelerate digital transformation…

VMware Validated Designs (VVDs) will give you the technology validation for a quick start

People/Process aspects are equally important as the technology/Cloud Management Platform underpinning your multi-cloud strategy

Conclusions / Key Takeaways

To develop the strategy, a good starting point will be our 6-step approach…

As always, VMware Professional Services and VMware Partners are there if more help is needed…
