SAP on VMware Automation Transformation

2

The Approach

3

• Cloud-based roles and org

• Workload centric resource models (e.g., e-mail)

• Co-sourced staff

• Automation & self service

• Consumption-based charge-back models

• Mature service framework to manage service-centric model

• Pervasive virtualization

• Converged architecture

• Federated workloads

• Pools of resources

Readiness: Prepare for Service Automation

Achieving the End-state Requires Significant Transformation

Enterprise IT Cloud

TECHNOLOGY

• Complex

• Expensive

• Inflexible

• Siloed

PROCESS

• Little infrastructure automation

• Services allocated to LOB or application owner

• ITIL-based services frameworks loosely applied

PEOPLE

Organizational silos of

• Infrastructure (compute, storage, network)

• Application & management

• Security

Speed and Agility Lead to Increased Revenue

Time to market is paramount

– Reduce or Eliminate Labor Based Provisioning of Infrastructure

– Application backlog is unrealized revenue opportunity

– New cloud application and infrastructure models accelerate time

to deployment

Windows of opportunity open and close quickly

– SAP Cloud Service removes obstacles to establishing early market

response

–Fail faster to win

– Experiment in the marketplace to validate opportunities and

clarify requirements
