Private and Hybrid Cloud on the Rise

• 48% using/planning to use

private clouds in 2011 (Osterman Research)

• Enterprise survey found that:o 44% have private cloud plans o 15% looking at public cloudso 21% focusing on hybrid clouds (Unisys)

• 70% of cloud systems management purchases in 2010 were for private clouds – market will reach $2.5B by 2015 (IDC)

Disaster RecoveryStaged Server Configuration, pre-staged data and running Slave Database Server

• Generally recommended DR solution

• Minimal additional cost • Allows fairly rapid recovery

Current Landscape• Proven technologies – production workloads; at scale

• Works on commodity hardware• Multi-hypervisor support• Easy to get started … deliver a POC

• Multi/Hybrid cloud deployments are a reality, yet complex• RightScale platform greatly simplifies their setup and management• But this help is no substitute for awareness and good architecting!
