What is the Cloud ? – Act 1
SaaS
PaaS
IaaS
Internal Cloud
Software as a Service
Platform as a Service
Infrastructure as a Service
Private Cloud
The Vendor View….

So … What is the Cloud ?
A New Economic Model
A New Consumption Model
The Road Towards Utility Maturity
Inevitability (?) and a Challenge to every IT Professional !!
Page 9
The Challenge
Be more aligned and responsive to the business needs - deliver agility to the business capability
Reduce technological complexity, and simplify the delivery and approach of services
Deliver a computing environment that secures the business appropriately
Reduce cost, power, cooling, space, manpower – fulfil our business’s green mission
Provide high levels of availability and protect the business in the event of a disaster

Do More With Less !

Why Do You Need A Virtualisation Strategy ?
To maximise and realise your return on investment
To recognise and plan for the long term effort required
To secure appropriate stakeholders at a senior level
To define the correct level of investment over time (it’s not a one-off!)
To ensure ongoing alignment with the business

Has your organisation defined a long term strategy to maximise the business benefits from virtualisation technologies ?
Will not having a clear strategy inhibit the future uptake of virtualisation projects ?

Yes - Long Term Not Aware No
Yes - Short Term
Has your organisation achieved the expected Return On Investment for server virtualisation ?
Do senior management perceive virtualisation as a key technology to deliver business benefits to the organisation ?
Page 13
Why Do Virtualisation Projects Fail ?
Unable to quantify the cost savings
Cannot demonstrate a clear ROI
Perceived as technology change project – no business change
No recognition that this is a long term strategy
No long term vision
Resistance to change
Business
Lack of resource
Adoption rate too fast / too slow
Perception this would be quick and easy
Incomplete scope that doesn‘t address people, vision, communication etc.
Application vendors and owners
Training
Project
VM sprawl
Storage explosion
Backups
Network impact
New technical issues
Virtualised layer introduces extra complexity
Skill silos
Performance concerns
Datacentre – not server consolidation anymore

Physical Total Servers Conversion Momentum
100 servers
10% growth in server count / annum
30 servers per annum virtualised
At this rate Year 6 will have 100% conversion
To achieve a high virtualisation % needs 40+ servers per annum deployed for 3 years
Plan a long term commitment

Virtualisation Maturity Model – Summary
Discover
Design
Deploy
Leverage
Work out where you are today Analyse/understand the issues that you will face (don’t go overboard!) Define where you want to be in the medium and long term
Design strategically with your target maturity level in mind Define your roadmap for virtualisation Design your virtualisation policy based upon your target maturity
Deploy tactically – don’t get paralysed by discovery and design Put in the right resource to achieve your goals Deploy in a realistic timeframe – but be aggressive on conversions
Review and refine your deployment against your target maturity Break down technical and organisational silos Refresh your strategy and review your maturity target regularly
Page 28
Virtualisation Maturity Model – Key Points
Plan strategically - design strategically - act tactically. (Don’t overanalyse!)
Use the VMM as a light framework to think about vision, people, process and technology – you will deploy a better long term solution this way
Be agressive in your plans - the technology can handle it and you will see the true benefits of a virtualisation strategy
Take Away These Three Points if Nothing Else !
