HP on cloud today A technologist’s point-of-view Michael Conlin / July 22, 2014
Challenges that keep cloud providers awake at night… • Infrastructure-as-a-Service • ‘full OpEx’ pricing model • incomplete Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) models • overstated security requirements • Cloud...ideal for all workloads
What’s in a name? All cloud models compete. public cloud cloud converged cloud community cloud hybrid cloud managed cloud private cloud virtual private cloud
Remember the good old days? • LPTA • LPTA Not cloud first so much as public cloud first.
The dream of cloud brokering • Any business person can move any workload to • any destination • anytime they spot better terms, prices, availability, etc... • Yeah right!
Straight talk about about cloud brokering • Failure modes: • double-entanglements • paving the cow path • hop, skip, & jump • best of breed • IT budget myopia • lipstick on the pig • solving the wrong problem really, really well • snow-flaking • double dribbling Leverage forget your app move your data adopt cloud-native offerings develop in the cloud for deployment in the cloud the land of failure modes Do it yourself Existing solution New solution
Some workloads don’t belong in the cloud • workloads with stringent performance requirements • (for example zero propagation delays) • workloads with stringent availability requirements • (for example 99.9999% availability) • workloads requiring specialty equipment • (for example high performance computing) • workloads requiring specialty equipment configurations • (for example direct-attach storage)
Interrelated trends call for integrated strategies Cloud • Enterprise App. Store • Individual productivity • Building platforms • Pilots: cloud file management for mobile devices • E-business 2.0 • Value chain productivity • Building communities • Pilots: tablet applications, real-time customer insights Social Networking Mobility • Smart Services • Process productivity • Building systems • Pilots: Mobile SAP applications • Integrated business intelligence • Management productivity • Building models & insights • Pilots: fraud detection, yield management, lead generation Big Data
