But they’re not...

Where cloud is being adopted today:

• Start-ups and Small / Medium Businesses (SMBs)• Edges of large enterprises (needs not being met)• “Corporate IT” is piloting

Enterprise Cloud Challenges

1. Maturity. Ability to overcome barriers to entry related to culture, process, technology, experience, and tools.

2. Performance. Need to deploy an application near the data and services that are already deployed on premises - lower latency and increased bandwidth.

3. Security. Must keep data inside Company’s security perimeter, where we trust security team, tools, and processes.

4. Cost. TCO much higher for predictable IaaS workloads.5. Architectural Constraints. Application is not architected to

run well in public cloud, or has unique technical requirements.

The Cloud Enterprise Paradox

CLOUD• On-demand … through

self-service interfaces• Elastic … dynamically scale

up and down• Shared … pooled resources• Metered by use … at high

level of granularity (OpEx)• Accessible … to everyone

broadly over the network

ENTERPRISE• On-approval … through

workflow driven approvals• Static … fixed assigned

resources• Private … isolated

resources• Purchased … at a fixed cost

over long periods (CapEx)• Inaccessible … except to

necessary users/services

Obstacles to “Emergence”

Build Custom Private Cloud

Buy Packaged Private “Cloud”

Use Public Cloud• Limited Security Controls• Lock in

• Implementation Risk• Deep expertise required

• High ongoing costs• Flexibility

• Implementation Cost• Ongoing support cost

• High Upfront Cost• High ongoing support cost

• Vendor Lock-in

Solving the Enterprise Paradox

1. Support tens of thousands of employees with “self-service” provisioning and management on premise and provided by service providers

2. Support advanced security & forensics3. Support existing monitoring, management, and log

analysis tools4. Support show/charge -back at user, organization, and

enterprise level, with integration points to accounting5. Support workload portability and infrastructure

interoperability (to prevent lock in)

Solution: A New Enterprise Ecosystem

• Ubiquitous across both service providers and enterprises

• Open and standards oriented with potential to ensure workload portability and interoperability

• Creates a new ecosystem for infrastructure innovation
