what's needed to deliver complex cloud solutions
DESCRIPTION
As the cloud market matures a new wave of more demanding mainstream customers are now looking to benefit from cloud and virtualisation. To provide compelling solutions for these customers we need a different approach to the software, infrastructure and systems used to deliver the cloud.TRANSCRIPT

What can we do with it
Create servers on demandEasily flexing the requirements either horizontally or verticallyPay only for resources used

What are the limitations
Contention Limited SLA’sMulti-tenantedInter machine communication can be limited

What is pushing us to the cloud
• Rental model • Scalable• Flexible• Reduced lead times • More bang for the buck• Possibly a solution to lower Co2 • More resilient• Fashionable technology

What is holding us back
Noisy marketConcerns over securityMistrust of cloud SLA’s Dinosaur tendency Mistrust of real-world performanceLegacy systems are difficult to portPerception “Cloud” means Amazon Only for Techies or non-critical systems

Where are we going
Most new product or systems development will have “Cloud” concepts built in from the start.IT departments/Service providers under pressure to reduce costsCustomers being bombarded with “Cloud” from every direction.Major vendors now pushing the “Cloud” model (Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft)Terminology now settling down (Cloud, Private, Hybrid)
1st generation Cloud has moved to the mainstream
