“Hype” vs. realities: Common “hype” about Cloud Computing

Cloud:• Rent vs. own computing• Drives growth while
saving money
Unlimited Computing

Fast results
Turnkey
. . . . . . Can be true – IF you set it up that way
Cloud realities: Cloud is already solving many of today’s typical Enterprise challenges
10 weeks: The mean time to deliver a
new (or expanded) IT Service from the time of request. Nearly 40% take more than 90 days
70% of IT budgets are Maintenance (vs. new)
2/3’s of companies miss their original
project/solution deployments.
Infrastructure is ImportantLatin America Financial Services ClientIt offers Corporate Customers access to 60,000 merchants servicing 3 million Prepaid “digital cash” cards.
Problem: grow revenue, slash costs while servicing 200,000+ daily transactions. Cloud Solution: Slashed operational costs -30% while supporting double-digit revenue growth with IBM PureSystems x240 running hypervisor - KVM
Cloud Risks and “Hidden Costs”: One size doesn’t fit all

Key Takeaway: Cloud Service Level Agreements (SLA’s) are very important. SLA’s record a common understanding about services, availability, security, privacy, governance, data protection, disaster recovery, workloads, audit, priorities, responsibilities, exit strategies, etc.
Cloud Risks and “Hidden Costs”: Projects can fail for many reasons

. . . . . . How do I mitigate Cloud risks?
One of the most significant determinations of success in moving to the cloud is the careful selection of workloads.

Thinking beyond governance, there is a need to look at new Cloud Roles in the organization
Bottom line: Cloud services demand different roles with different skill sets.
What Should You Do?1. Think big, start small, pilot fast. Start by developing your
business case and remember that Cloud is more than just cost savings. It is truly capable of driving business model transformation.
2. Identify a pilot project to better understand “how” transforming applications delivery can truly drive line of business (LOB) improvements.
3. Remember that not all workloads are suited for Cloud.
4. Successful cloud ecosystem strategies will include both business and IT stakeholder team to accelerate results.
