• Cloud benefits
Serco Internal
When cloud is NOT a fit
• When the points of integration are not well defined
• When security is so much of a risk that organization just cannot trust systems that it does not completely control.
• When control is critical to business. If organization cannot afford to outsource a critical component to anybody who is less than 100% reliable, then cloud computing is not right for it.
• When the core internal enterprise architecture is broken. If enterprise architecture is dysfunctional, then extending it out to cloud-delivered platforms is not a good idea.
• When the application requires a native interface.
• When cost is an issue and it has to be considered holistically.
Serco Internal
Business case considerations
Is it an enabler of business growth or drain on cash flow?
• Look at the total cost of ownership– Has your current system paid for itself yet? Include
residual costs– Include costs of specialist support for transition– Costs/time for procurement and contracts– Rollout funding, training and investment– Migration and data cleansing budget

Considerations
Serco Internal
• Why not cloud- what’s the challenges?
Serco Internal
Data protection considerations
Protection of data: Businesses cannot delegate responsibility of data security to their agents
– ‘Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.’
• There is great advice and tools on the ICO website:
• http://www.ico.org.uk/for_organisations/data_protection
• Access to data: What guarantees are in place to maintain access to data?
• http://www.microsoft.com/government/en-gb/public-services/initiatives/Pages/security-and-privacy.aspx
• http://www.microsoft.com/online/legal/v2/en-us/MOS_PTC_Security_Audit.htm
Serco Internal
Data protection concerns
Location of data: Where is your data held?
– Is it outside of county, UK, EU or safe harbor?
– ‘Personal data shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data.’
• In practice – check cloud provider has data centre within EU (Check the regulation around your website too)
• Check safe harbor here http://safeharbor.export.gov/list.aspx
• Check Microsoft compliance http://www.microsoft.com/online/legal/v2/en-us/MOS_PTC_Security_Audit.htm
Serco Internal
Service level Agreements
• Service-level agreements (SLAs): Are there guarantees that the cloud provider will meet required levels of service?
– What percentage of the time services will be available and any service credits for failure to comply
– The number of users that can be served simultaneously– Specific performance benchmarks to which actual performance
will be periodically compared– The schedule for notification in advance of network changes
that may affect users– Help desk response time for various classes of problems– Dial-in access availability– Usage statistics that will be provided.
– Have a look at HP’s SLA https://www.hpcloud.com/SLA
Serco Internal
• Disaster recovery: Which technologies are in place to provide business continuity and backup/recovery needs?
• Check your supplier for disaster recovery service
• Plan for cloud failure – your back up plan might be another cloud solution (DraaS) or other backup service
Serco Internal
Migration considerations
• Transfer timetable
• Migration plan
• Seek references
• Check data location
• Set in place deliverables from client and supplier
• Data cleansing plan
• Training roll out
• Change management plan
• Start small and work up
Serco Internal
7 things to consider - Cloud
1. Start small, try it and see if it fits.
2. Consider cultural changes and build this into the plan
3. Consider due diligence of the software providers - How many subscribers have you got – 200,000 then it has legs
4. Look for references, check testimonials
5. Select a supplier that can deliver high service levels –a dedicated support team and round the clock monitoring
6. Be clear on how flexible and scalable your solution is –what is their partner and API network like?
7. Check out their data security credentials – is the service compliant with UK data protection law and your own client contracts?

Royal Opera House case study CW 2013
a Hybrid cloud setuP
Royal opera House (RoH) cto Rob Greig’s
it strategy involves adopting public cloud
infrastructure for online booking and he
aims to have RoH’s content infrastructure
in the cloud with a “web 2.0” perspective.
“it is simple – put the content in its natural habitat on the internet. so we upload
videos on youtube and photos on flickr and
bring it all together,” he says.
the organisation is using a private cloud
setup to host its financial systems and
process the payment transactions. “With
compliance issues, you need to know where
sensitive data resides and it has to be inhouse, but for occasional peaks you need
shared cloud’s scalability,” says Greig.
“the hybrid model is the route forward in
the cloud. some cios want to actually see
where their servers are. that is so 2008!
“cloud is a different architecture and you
need to think about it differently to see its
value. think about cloud as an application
not as a remote server room to which you
load workloads traditionally.
“today, cloud’s uptake is limited because
people’s understanding around it is limited.”
Greig is now undertaking a major
in-house technology refresh to revamp
RoH’s virtualisation and storage platforms
that run business-critical applications.

• 5. HaaS - Hardware as a Service
• Hardware as a Service is more than just leasing PCs. HaaS providers typically deal with the full desktop lifecycle including procurement and replacement of PCs, proactive patching and OS level software and IT monitoring. It's usually a pay-as-you-go or subscription model. Some definitions of HaaS includes other IT hardware. For this list, I refer to this as IaaS or Infrastructure as a Service. I found that Haas providers served a local market. I am sure this will change in the coming years.
• Vendors:
• i-manage (Omaha, NE)
• MSP On Demand

• 3. DaaS - Desktop as a Service
• Desktop as a Service (Daas) represents a new paradigm of desktop applications. We are used to Microsoft Office or our favorite accounting application being installed and run on our local computer. This works fine but when you need to deploy an upgrade or patch one of the subsystems, this scenario becomes very inefficient. Multiply this by a company with 10,000 desktop PCs and you see what kind of overhead this can result in.
• DaaS results in a virtual desktop delivered on demand. While many of the "as a Service" solutions are delivered from the clould, Desktop as a Service applications can be delivered from the cloud or just delivered from the organization's data center. Local applications can be delivered remotely using technology from VMWare or Citrix s well as others. There is a trend in this space for Desktop as a Service (DaaS).

• ThriveNetworks Desktop Management
• VMWare Virtual Desktop
