Mark Metz, CEO Relus TechnologiesCloud Success Stories and How we can help

Daughter (14): “It’s where my pictures and stuff are stored”

Me: …Where is that?

Daughter: I dunno. Um, do you care? You didn’t look at them did

you? And, don’t even try to ‘friend” me on Facebook

Son (10): I think it lets me access a server to play Mindcraft and

Clash of Clans with my friends online.

Me: Well, what do you think a server looks like?

Son: Hmmm, I don’t know, a popsicle?

What is cloud computing?

Infrastructure as a Service – Compute, Storage, and Network

Platform as a Service Software as a Service Desktop as a Service Fill in the blank IT Function as a Service

Our main focus today will be on IaaS.

Main Types of Cloud Computing

2003 $5.2B retail business 7,800 employees A whole lot of servers

2014 Every day, AWS adds enough server capacity to power

that whole $5B enterprise

Technology Adoption over the Years

In the future, a Data Center will be run by a man and a dog. The dog’s job is to make sure the man doesn’t touch the computers & the man’s job is to feed the dog.

The Future of the Data Center…

Service Based

Scalable and Elastic

Shared

Metered By Use

Internet Technologies

• No need to own SW or HW assets

• No need to integrate or maintain service

• Orders when needed, pays for use

• Owns and manage all of the IT assets

• Assume functions, costs and risks of the service components

Public Cloud• Leverages Service Provider shared resources / investment• Elasticity: Maximum flexibility, scalability, no CAPEX• Typically Metered use – OPEX model• GRC / ISSO controls and policies are on the buyer to develop• Nature of IT planning changes – not hardware bound • Lead-times are fast / agile ability to deploy workloads

Private• Uses internal version of Public Cloud model • Requires complete standardization and capacity on demand• Changes Accounting model – not per-project costing• Metered billing and “infrastructure lease model”• Retains internal GRC controls, but with scalable, flexible model• Limited in gross scale and internal capacity constraints

Hybrid• “Split” model – Public AND private platforms leveraged• Use cases defined for appropriate cloud model selection • Leverages Public flexibility / Scalability and private GRC / internal

controls as needed• Seen as common interim step in the full journey to cloud for

many customer• Allows IT to have broad solution model once policies are

established

Cloud Models: Public / Hybrid / Private

A Sense of Urgency for Private CloudBusinesses are now circumventing IT

Shadow IT

94% of organizations surveyed are running applications or experimenting with infrastructure-as-a-service.

87% of organizations are using public cloud.

According to a Cloud Survey done in February 2014 by RightScale

74% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy and more than half of those are already using both public and private cloud.

No matter where you are, a cloud journey requires...

1. A structured, service lifecycle

approach.

2. Capability model and roadmap that

addresses people, process and

technology.

3. A flexible design you can evolve for

tomorrow’s cloud model.

4. Solution architecture blueprints that

provide customization to protect key

investments already made.

5. Solid Implementation plan built on real

life projects.

Bristol-Myers Squibb used cloud to cut trial simulation times by 98%, and therefore eliminating additional blood tests.

  Steelcase is a Fortune 1000

company used the cloud to backup Sharepoint databases. Total SAN costs reduced by 46%. Backup and restore functions now 75% faster. Individual database restore times reduced by 87%.

Etsy, uses cloud-based capabilities to cost-effectively analyze data from the approximately one billion monthly views of its Web site and use the information to create product recommendations leveraging computing power that might typically only be affordable for larger retailers.”

Cloud Computing in Action

Netflix is able to spin up thousands of servers and terabytes of storage within minutes using AWS Cloud to stream movies to their mobile clients

As Hess divested from a number of businesses in its portfolio, they were able to transfer the IT piece of those businesses to AWS Cloud and hand that infrastructure over to the new buyer within 6 months. The handoff took 30 minutes.

NBC Olympics used massive cloud infrastructure to quickly deliver largest live streaming event in history, the US vs Canada hockey match (over 2 million viewers).

Cloud Computing in Action

Current State

- Legacy Infrastructure - Inefficient IT staff focused

on maintenance

- Not aligned to main business objectives

Future State

- Cloud Infrastructure - Strategic IT staff

- Aligned and driving business solutions

Relus Technologies – How Do We Fit

Significant Book Value on Current Data Center Infrastructure

Unaware of Assets, Lifecycles and Application Dependencies and the process for moving them

IT Team skill set is not aligned with future initiatives

Legacy Infrastructure maintenance and upgrade costs are too high on older hardware.

Aggressive Valuations on Asset Disposition and Buybacks, lower cost upgrades until you migrate.

People, Process and Tools, for Asset Discovery and tracking, Application Dependency Mapping, Migration, and Data Syncing

State of the art technology training solutions. Cloud specific staffing and perm placement expertise.
