The Cloud………

Hybrid

Key Pillars

Considerations

The Cloud…

“Cloud computing is a model for enabling

convenient, on-demand network access to a

shared pool of configurable computing

resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage,

applications, and services) that can be rapidly

provisioned and released with minimal

management effort or service provider

interaction”

Ant Clay

Why…?

“The trouble is the infrastructure in the cloud is

not sufficiently mature enough to support the

kind of things we're doing in the Olympics. The

applications aren't there, they're not written for

the cloud; quite a big migration would be

required to move particularly that core

infrastructure into the cloud.”Gerry Pennell

CIO, London Organising Committee of the

Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG)

July 2012 in an interview for CIO Magazine

Why not?

“The Cloud is for anyone…

… but isn’t for everyone”

Matt Groves

“If I’d have asked the customers what

they wanted, they would have said a

faster horse…”

Henry Ford

Founder of Ford Motors

Why Not Defined service

You get what provider offer License bands

Data location Can your data live in Ireland/Netherlands?

Applications and features not available Telephony (VOIP) Publishing/Development Others etc….

Trends Most businesses considering cloud Local purchase outside of IT Wild West file sharing

SkyDrive etc. Business - pro

If it gets the job done Reduced IT spend

CIO/IT- against Security of data Compliance Application

Are all clouds the same? GCAT has 25+ ‘Cloud’ providers Prices ranging

£0.50 pp/pm - £20 pp/pm

Hybrid Cloud…

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

PrivatePublicOn-Premise

Organizations seem open to considering SharePoint in the cloud but 76% cited security concerns and functional gaps in the SharePoint

online options.

Forrester

Public or virtual private cloud

Drivers for Cloud– Shift from capital investment

to operating expense– The avoidance of complexity

and evergreen upgrades appeal to all sizes of organizations

– Payment is based on actual usage

– Focus valuable IT resources on strategic value projects that deliver sustained competitive advantage

Drivers for Private Cloud– Provides data sovereignty– Meets regulatory compliance

requirements– Provides data privacy– Need for data location control– Optimized for business

applications– Single governance and security

model

Data sovereignty Applies to On-premise and Cloud Patriot Act Particularly International Corporations

Government rules for data Contradictory Risk assessment

Replication of data (for DR) Back-up copies A whole separate presentation

Speak to Paul over a few beers/Wines

What a private cloud should deliver

Self-service delivery on-demand

Automated metering

Devices What access BYOD?

Persona/Device matrix Defines access requirements

Applications

Do you still require them? OOB functionality? Still relevant, multiple clones?

Dates for cut-over Year end? Other event

Data residency? Can they be ported to cloud? Migration?

Calls to action

Does the solution (and provider) fit with your organisations culture?

Data classification

Define policy/guidance

Educate/train staff

Risks

You do not physically possess storage of your own data, which leaves the responsibility and control of data

storage with the provider

Could become too dependent upon the cloud computing provider

With data held externally, business continuity and disaster recovery are in the hands of the provider, YOU

need to own this

Data migration issues when changing cloud provider

What happens if your cloud provider goes out of business?

Commercial agreements breakdown

Questions

What happens if your cloud provider goes out of business?

Where does Design start and end?

The cloud provider is not likely to custom design

Where does support start and end?

How do you escalate? Who do you escalate into?

Who is the dealer group?

Need to be very structured on governance planning – this can cost you!

What impact does a third party have on “internal” support targets ?

Critically, how to you deal with unknowns and resolutions?

How do you know you are not being thin provisioned

How do you know you are getting what you pay for?

Do not:

Think ‘cloud’ is an ‘all or nothing’ deal

Assume your Cloud Provider can design SharePoint for your business scenario

Use snapshots as THE backup strategy

Do not accept what the vendor is telling you!
