What is Hybrid IT?

What is Hybrid IT?

On-premises IT

Cloud resources

A combination of the following for capacity or capability:

Definitions and Terminology On-Premises IT : Compute, storage, and network resources for a single tenant that are accessed programmatically via an API endpoint.

Cloud Architecture: A similar set of multi-tenant resources provided by a cloud vendor with access via an API endpoint.

Hybrid IT: An environment that spans your cloud provider as well as one or more on-premises IT environments.

Multi-Cloud: An environment that spans two or more separate cloud providers or regions.

Common Use Cases

Use Case - Cloudbursting

o  An application deployment model in which an application runs in your on-premises environment and bursts to a cloud provider when the demand for computing capacity spikes.

o  The advantage of a cloud bursting-enabled deployment is that an organization only pays for extra compute resources when they are needed.

Use Cases - Cloudbursting

ON-PREMISES CLOUD

LOAD BALANCERS

APP SERVERS

MASTER DATABASE

SLAVE DATABASE

OBJECT STORAGE

APP SERVERS

PUBLIC INTERNET

Use Cases - Disaster Recovery o  Production environment in on-premises o  DR environment in cloud o  Most common configuration is the “Warm DR” scenario

•  Replicating slave in the cloud •  All other servers in non-operational state

Use Cases – Data Residency Requirements

On-premises

Choose AWS whenever possible, but in a limited number of situations, you may have to resort to

on-premises storage.

Connecting Your Hybrid IT Environment

Connecting Clouds •  AWS Direct Connect

–  Network speaks BGP –  Virtual Private Gateway required

(if VPC used) –  Low latency (sub-3ms) –  High Bandwidth (1GBit or

10GBit interconnects available) –  Cost is based on port speed

(per hour) and data transfer out of AWS (inbound data transfer is free)

Source: AWS Direct Connect documentation

Connecting Clouds •  VPN Endpoint/Hardware Device

–  Available with any combination of environments (AWS regions and on-premises locations)

–  Virtual Private Gateway required (if VPC used)

–  Latency may be high –  Bandwidth constrained by the

characteristics of the network between the environments

–  Cost is dependent on outbound data transfer. No additional AWS costs.

VPN Connection (configured via API or AWS Console)

Internet

Hardware Device (Cisco, Juniper, etc.)

On-Premises Resources

Connecting Clouds •  VPN Endpoint/Software Solution

–  Available with any combination of environments

–  SSL or IPsec can be used –  Virtual Private Gateway required (if VPC

used) –  Latency may be high –  Bandwidth constrained by the characteristics

of the network between the environments –  Cost is dependent on outbound data

transfer. No additional AWS costs. –  On-premises software solution can be run on

VM within the environment or on a physical node.

Internet

OpenSSL, Openswan, pfSense, Raccoon, etc.

Management of Your Hybrid IT Environment

Self-Service o  IT can be the hero, agility with control o  Provide standardized builds with operational

excellence o  Leverage all resources

Auth/SSO

Increase Innovation o  Access to portfolio of

hybrid infrastructure o  Standardized technology

stacks o  Instant provisioning for

innovation o  Visibility and control

–  Access controls –  Budget controls –  Audit trails

o  Integrate to existing systems

Simplicity through Self-Service

Governance o  For every cloud project you know about, there may be

3-5 others you don’t know about* o  Not rebellion, but revenue & productivity

o  Security and compliance o  Billing and chargeback

*10/11 Forrester Research blog, James Staten “What are Enterprises Really Doing in the Cloud?”

Standardization through Automation o  Cloud builds are everywhere

o  A myriad of machine image & workload o  Configuration language abundance o  Many deployment options

o  How can IT support this?

“By 2016, more than 70% of large enterprises will choose a heterogeneous IT operations management vendor (rather than an infrastructure vendor) for their cloud management

platform to unify cloud investments through a single manager-of-managers style of management and control.”*

Donna Scott, Gartner

*7/12 Gartner, Inc., Debra Curtis and Donna Scott “Heterogeneity Will Determine the Preferred Type of CMP Vendor”

Cost Management o  End-user awareness of spend o  Cost visibility o  Chargeback capability o  Cloud Analytics for optimization

Cost Management through Cloud Analytics

o  Visualize all of your IT costs o  Forecast future spend

o  Optimize your spend and reduce waste
