  1. Cloud Computing:How to do it right! Tom Yarmas CTO – Cloud Technologies U.S. Public Sector yarmas@netapp.com

  2. Cloud is the new paradigm for IT.

  3. NIST Cloud Definition • Ubiquitous access • Shared Pool   • Rapidly Provisioned • Minimal Mgmt • 5 Essential Characteristics: • On-demand self-service • Broad network access • Resource pooling • Rapid elasticity • Measured Service • 4 Deployment Models: • Private • Public • Community • Hybrid • 3 Delivery Models: • SaaS • Paas • IaaS

  4. Path to Cloud (ITaaS) • ITaaS • Self-service • Highly automated • Flexible Virtualization Is Necessary, But Not Sufficient Automate & Optimize Cost Reduction & Flexibility Virtualize & Consolidate Everything Standardize Service Offerings Rationalize Applications Centralize IT, Policy & Management Assess Tasks Ahead; Determine ROI Where Does Your Journey Begin? Time

  5. Data Centers are Evolving Application based silos ExternalCloud Services PrivateCloud Zones ofvirtualization But there will be a movement to the right • Many IT architectures will co-exist • Data centers will use hybrid models

  6. We Need a Process

  7. Where to Start?

  8. Step 1 – Assess • Evaluate what applications currently exist • Evaluate what resources currently exist • Analyze workloads against resources • Efficiency too low? • Evaluate who is using which resources • Chargeback/Showback Anaylze and EvaluateCurrent Environment

  9. Cloud Readiness Assessment • Security requirements • Service characteristics • Market characteristics • Network infrastructure, application and data readiness • Government readiness • Technology lifecycle

  10. We Need a Process

  11. Server Virtualization is not “Cloud” Step 2 – Design Better Efficiencies • Consolidate • Standardize • Virtualize • Citrix XenServer • Linux KVM • Microsoft Hyper-V • vmwarevSphere

  12. Step 2 – Design Think in terms of delivering services • Service Catalog • Automation • Orchestration • Across Internal and External Through the whole stack! • Agility • Economies of Scale • Flexibility

  13. A “New” Cloud Operating Model is Required Automation & Orchestration Cloud Computing Public or Private Cloud Services + = Virtual and Physical Data Center Services Desktop Services ITaaS • Packaged, standardized IT services • Self-service provisioning & administration • Enforced automated policies & controls • Lifecycle management for workloads & services • Pay-per-use model for IT Services

  14. NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  15. Choices are Numerous ITSM Virtualization Partners Solution Partners Open Source ManageIQ

  16. We Need a Process

  17. Step 3 – Execute Think in terms of buying services • SaaS • PaaS • IaaS • SaaS: • Gov-Apps, Internet Services • Blogging/Surveys/Twitter, Social Networking • Information/Knowledge Sharing (Wiki) • Communication (e-mail), Collaboration (e-meeting) • Productivity Tools (office) • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) • PaaS: • Application Development, Data, Workflow, etc. • Security Services (Single Sign-On, Authentication, etc.) • Database Management • Directory Services • IaaS: • Networks, Security, Mainframes, Servers, Storage • Telecom Carrier Services • IT Facilities/Hosting Services NetApp Confidential

  18. To Move or Not to Move: The Economics of Cloud Computing* Results: • Overall, they found that in-house provisioning is • cost-effective for medium to large workloads, whereas cloud-based options suit small workloads better • For medium workload intensity, cloud-based options are cost-effective only if the application needs to be supported for 2-3 years, and become expensive for longer-lasting scenarios • Software licenses can be big expenses for in-house solutions • Outbound I/O charges can quickly add cost to Cloud based solutions * 3/2011 Dept of Computer Science and Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University

  19. We Need a Process

  20. Step 4 – Manage Iterate & Optimize • Reassess & identify gaps • Add new services • Leverage new technologies NetApp Confidential

  21. We Need a Process

  22. Cloud is the new paradigm for IT.

  23. Call to Action • If you have not done Virtualization yet, Start • Assessment Services • Transform to Private Cloud • Gain Expertise in orchestration, workflow automation, service levels, and charge-backs • Look at Broker services (multiple service providers) • Evaluate complete solutions (consistent with shared infrastructure)

  24. THANK YOU!
