• Need less downtime
• Cheaper than a DC
• Better network access
• Better support
• Increased complexity
• Can’t hire
• Need help
• Less mundane tasks
• Focus on apps
• Shift risk
• Scale
• OpEx v. CapEx
• Lower cost?
• New, cool

A Successful
Public Cloud Deployment
![Page 12: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Application
Redundancy
• Critical applications must be able to
survive regular provider outages
• Applications should be load balanced
across multiple clouds or multiple AZs
• The more data-driven the application, the
less hyperscale friendly the application
![Page 13: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Application
Redundancy
• Ability to pick your ball up and go home
• Applications are not vendor-locked
• Easily decoupled systems
• Legacy app integration
Application
Portability
![Page 14: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Development
Competency
• Outsourcing hyperscale development is a
slippery slope
• These are expensive resources onshore
• High short term turnover rate amongst
these employees
![Page 15: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Application
Redundancy
• Costs can ‘hockey-stick’ as workloads
increase
• Inefficient operations cost more in the
public cloud
• Need to account for changing your
software to take advantage of hyperscale
environments / microservices
• Might need to hire that help (if not in-
house) and account for those costs
• Will add time to the deployment
Costs of Scale &
Transformation
![Page 16: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A Successful
Private Cloud Deployment
![Page 17: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Growth Pattern
Implications
• Longer term investments (provider contracts, etc.)
• Capacity planning is key
• Requires up-front understanding of
existing infrastructure inner workings
![Page 18: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Growth happens in larger increments
than on public cloud
• Not all resources used all the time
• Larger up front cost than public cloud
Growth in
“Chunks”
![Page 19: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Tradition
• Choose the right platforms
(hypervisor/network/storage) for your
organization
• More flexibility means more decisions
• More decisions means the involvement
and support of your partner becomes
increasingly critical
• Less transformation needed = Less
upfront application costs
![Page 20: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A Successful
Hybrid Cloud Deployment
![Page 21: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Connecting Public
& Private
• Extend enterprise network into the public
cloud without lowering security or
increasing risk
• Understand impact of latency between
private environments and public cloud
AZs
• Capacity plan for a rainy day
![Page 22: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Clear delineation of duties to manage
private and public
• Keep internal install base up to date
• Reconcile vendor invoices & understand
“what you’re paying for”
Support for
Underlying
Infrastructure
![Page 23: Adapting to a Hybrid World [Webinar on Demand]](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030218/58860c461a28abe63e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Which Applications
Belong Where
• Some workloads lend themselves to
being fully virtualized, some don’t
• Remember the 80-20 rule with regard to
resource utilization and cost
• Internal teams ensure no cross pollination
exists, or is mitigated
• What are your competitors/friends doing
with these apps?
• Map apps that will ‘burst’ into the cloud,
and understand associated costs
• Ensure data doesn’t ‘bleed’ between
public/private environments without
good reason
