Agility. Prevent business requirements from outpacing IT. What does that really mean?

The Cost of Not Transitioning to Cloud Business will become Uncompetitive without cloud revenues by end of 2015 Double digit growth could be achieved in 2015 if enhanced cloud capabilities were in place Reduced staff productivity Increased time to market Risk of data theft Inability to develop applications fast enough Holding back digital projects - Source: Canopy, Oct 2014

Top 10 Cloud Myths 1.Cloud is always cheaper 2.It’s not good unless it’s cloud 3.He gets a cloud! She gets a cloud! We all get clouds! 4.Your CEO has a cloud strategy 5.Multiple cloud vendors isn’t the way to go 6.Cloud can’t be secured 7.Mission-critical apps need not apply 8.Data center does not mean cloud 9.Cloud migrations inherit all cloud characteristics 10.Virtualization is not the same thing as private cloud - Source: Gartner, Oct 2014

NIST Definition of Cloud: Common Characteristics On Demand Self-service Elasticity (Seemingly infinite capacity, Scale up or down on demand) Ubiquitous Access (Any Device, Anywhere, Highly Available) Pooled Resources (Physically as flat as possible, separation done logically in software) Metered (Service costs understood and defined, Chargeback, Showback)

Real Public Cloud Use Cases DR to the cloud / DRaaS Short-term capacity augmentation (Cloud-bursting) SaaS (Commodity services)

Public Cloud Bursting: It’s about the peaks not the migration

Steps To Move To Cloud 1.Establish Leadership 2.Define Services 3.Evaluate Alternatives 4.Create metrics 5.Build a business case 6.Develop a people plan 7.Develop a process plan 8.Develop a technology plan 9.Confirm the plan 10.Start small think big

 Lack of clearly defined requirements  Business Case doesn’t include the resources necessary to maintain solution  No clear ownership of the Project  No definite champions to evangelize  No designated metrics to define success  Ambitious end-goal with no clear milestones to measure progress  No plan for continued education Why do Automation Projects Fail?
