So Why Isn’t Adoption Happening Faster?
Confidential 04/12/2023
Business is adopting cloud 2.5x faster than IT…– Speed– Flexibility– Economics
70% of CIOs say cloud data SECURITY is a major concern
79% concerned about VENDOR LOCK IN
75% worried about cloud PERFORMANCE AND AVAILABILITY
63% concerned about integrating INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SERVICES
…But there are barriers to cloud adoption among CIOs

“Build It vs. Buy It” meets The Cloud.Software ProvidersPaaS SaaS Platform ProvidersIaaS
• Companies with highly-specialized needs must build their own. Fortunately, there are many good providers.
• For companies without highly-specialized needs, there are also providers who can recreate most or all services in one comprehensive package.
• Applying the 80/20 rule is crucial to intelligently choosing between Services and Providers.

Managing A Cloud Installation
• IT Managers are finding that moving to the cloud does not relieve them of burden of managing users, apps, and data.• Same problems. Different infrastructure.
• Cloud providers can’t go the final mile. • No SLAs on Excel performance.• No SLAs on Windows legacy apps.

Premium Cloud Services
• Microsoft, Citrix, and other enterprise players are investing heavily in premium cloud services (i.e., Office365, Exchange, etc.)
• Premium Cloud handles the 80% services that provide 20% of IT value, thus offloading the low value activities from IT professionals
• This is very good news for IT professionals who add value through creativity, insight and expertise because…
• All low-value services can be delivered via the Cloud from a single interface.

Cloud Vendors Who Make It Possible• Latisys – Foundation for infrastructure
• Citrix - Quality of Service, Cloud Platform
• Microsoft - Office Automation Suite, Servers through Office
• Horizon Private Cloud brings it all together with vDesktop and vStorage
Where Do We Go from Here?

…but cloud is an evolution…not a revolution.
Cloud must be part of your IT strategy….
Choose your delivery platform deliberately• Security & compliance requirements drive public vs. private
• Cloud is almost always workload and application-specific
• Don’t ignore cloud politics—get out in front
• Performance matters!! QoS just as critical as in a “classic” deployment
• Do you have the expertise to right-size, deploy and migrate?(and if not, does your service provider?)
• Integration with the rest of your IT infrastructure – do you really want to manage silos of components…or multiple vendors?
Update for final “conclusion” / call to action that incorporates both solutions…
