1 Smarter benefits. Better health. Cloud: A Matter of Perspective Lonnie Emard AVP and Executive Director, IT-oLogy ECC Conference June 12, 2012

2 Smarter benefits. Better health.  Promises of Cloud: »dizzying array of Applications Management options: Rapid provisioning of functional applications Ability to adopt greater functionality »A material change in the cost of technology that will change the way we use and employ IT Ability to rapidly ramp up or down resources Lower capital requirements Faster time to innovation »Better security  The problem is »different definition, especially cloud vendors who tend to shape the definition based on their offerings. »hope for a “silver bullet” »increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing – too good to be true? »doesn’t replace existing power horses  And in the end, it is not about technology, it is about a Business Model. Cloud Computing: “the phrase du jour”

3 Cloud Computing is based on improvements in “virtualization” technology, not on the entrance of a revolutionary technology

4 Real Life Example Results  # Physical Servers are shrinking  # VM Servers are shrinking  Almost half of Virtual Servers are ZLinux  Results: »Lower Management Cost »Lower Power and Cooling Cost Virtualization No Cloud Required Physical Server Installed Base

5 Cloud Computing is a business choice, not a technology choice

Other – provides for: pooled infrastructure resources to service multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model Adequate System Security A pay-as-you-use service for usage to be monitored, controlled, and reported to allow the allocation of costs back to individual business units IT as a Service Reference Architecture Governance Consulting (DBA, Security) Application Management OS/Middleware Management Security Disaster Recovery Service Management Load Testing Development Consulting Project Management BEST PRACTICE FRAME WORK EVALUATION METHODMATURITY LEVEL SCORE ITILSelf-Assessment2006: 56% ITIL Levels Passed2009: 80% ITIL Levels Passed CMMIExternal AssessmentLevel 3 – Defined: processes are well characterized and understood, and are described in standards, procedures, tools, and methods. CoBitSelf-AssessmentHigh Level ObjectivesDetail Level Objectives Internal:100%97% External (*)100%96% (*) External Assessments are based on the number of CoBit Control Objectives considered in external audits because our reviews have found only 79% of the High Level Objectives and 82% of the Detail objectives are found in external audits. Therefore, a 100% rating on External Audits would be based on the 79% and 82% objectives respectively.
