Capgemini Report on Global Cloud Adoption Nov 2012
460 detailed interviews with executives at a variety of enterprises (most with over 10,000 employees) from key sectors and from selected
geographic regions. IT executives and line-of-business decision-makers
http://www.capgemoni.com/insights-and-resources/by-
publication/business-cloud-the-state-of-play-shifts-rapidly
Responsibility for deciding Cloud strategy lies with business
units in 45% of cases, and with IT departments only just
ahead with 46%.
Firms are increasingly taking a careful, step-by-step progression to
Cloud maturity, rather than making an all- or-nothing decision – 80%
respondents are saying they are maturity their adoption
78% respondents saying New applications and business initiatives are hitting
the Cloud first, with many “edge” solutions going straight to the new
platform, almost as a default;
IT and Business aligned in that 52% and 51% stated Cost reduction as main
cloud driver
Cloud is now owned right across the business. A broad range of functions are
now perceived to be involved in encouraging the use of Cloud – from the Board
to Legal, in addition to IT.

Some key questions for Technologists and Business
New models emerge…..
How much data traffic is there on the Internet ?
INTERACTIONS
21 exabytes per month 2010
How big is the Internet ? How big is 1 exabyte ?
DIGITAL NETWORK SIZE
7 Billion “things” connected to
Internet, tipping point 2008
By 2020 50 Billion “things”
Smart phones, PCs, devices..(2)
How big is big Data ?
DIGITAL DATA SIZE
161 exabytes in 2006 globally
3 million times amount of
Information contained in all
the books ever written (3)
988 exabytes in 2010
1 exabyte = 1 million Terabytes
1 Zettabyte = 1000 exabytes
How is computing power increasing? When will
computation power exceed the human brain?
DIGITAL COMPUTE POWER SIZE
1 Billion Transistors 2010 Had
doubled per year but
Moores Law ends in 2013
Density double only every 3
years (4). Now Multi-core.
16 Petaflops 1.6 million cores 2012 –
Super computer (16,000 trillion flops)
76.8 GFLOPS GPU in A6X Apple ipad4

Data of Everything - Search versus Big Data
 How everyone can use Hadoop / map reduce
directly on Amazon to run his / her own analysis of
the web
 So the question is…
 Not whether you have data of everything but how
old and accurate is this data ?
 How to marry intuition + data insight ?

Competitive threats
- New Competition Dynamics
This example illustrates Industry Services in Cloud that a SME can access and compete in areas that larger Companies
once had incumbent control due to own assets and services. This means that there are lower switching costs via Self Service
Portals and 3rd party Cloud service providers. Because people can choose Self Service over other General Traditional Services

Competitors – SME
can get cloud services
and get into our market
space. It can attack our
customer base through
lower entry from using
3rd party cloud
resources which we
previously enjoyed
incumbent strengths
from ownership of our
own asset
infrastructure.
Own BUIs - Business Leaders
are buying Cloud services direct
with external cloud vendors
Own BUs – BU CIO’s
are pushing request for
own Cloud projects
Global CIO - Wants to define
a Cloud Strategy having seen
the impact of the above
trends in own business – IT
needs to respond
Investment Funding Planners
– How do I execute and build
foundations for cloud
investment to meet business
needs?. What do I need to do?
What do I need to build ? What
is the 2 to 5 year roadmap?
Technical Assessment
Planners – How do I compare
different cloud vendor
offerings ? – The comparing

Strategy Planners –
How does the business

Security, GRC Governance , Risk and Compliance
 In the Cloud everything is perceived as untrusted and insecure
 Many enterprises have company policies requiring data and access to be stored behind the
Corporate firewall; transport between geographies are not allowed
 Industrial certifications require physical isolation, audit and authentication processes

Cloud Computing impact on the On Shore – Off Shore Model
• Redefines onshore
• Moving to Cloud Computing redefines the need for each region and business unit to
develop certain types of IT service onshore.
• Common services
• Common services hosted in a secure private cloud Data center provides the possibility
to move to an off-shore shared model for many business units.
• Front end Agility
• Individual market and business unit agility is still essential for competitive response but
this can be supported by targeting cloud computing services for specific business
activity needs.
• Off-shore Governance
• The off-shore move also enables service management and capabilities to be invested in
shared regions to further improve the operating model organizational efficiency.

Self- Service and On-demand Collaboration Service model
Self-Service
• enables business and IT users to select the cloud hosted services to expand or
change as the business needs change rather than go through a provisioning cycle
with local or central IT.
On-demand Collaboration Service Model
• Quality of Service
• Aims to improve the quality of service and support in cloud hosted services
• Catalog based
• a Catalog and an Account Management process enabling business and IT users to get
better visibility and control of usage and requests.
• Variants versus / and maverick buying / usage
• Conversely it enables variations and maverick buying to be monitored to encourage the
development of further common IT service reuse and specific development of new
capabilities based on actual usage demand patterns.
• Flexibility / Swaps
• Hitherto commercial contract locking customers and vendors into longer term
contractual solutions limited options for change. Cloud computing catalogs and services
aim to create a looser coupling between buyers, consumers and users of IT services.

Defining the Right Type of Cloud Computing Operating Model
Modular Data Centers
• Strategic Decision
• Strategic decision to move to Private Cloud Computing
• Existing Investment in Virtualization
• Pharmaceutical company already invested in infrastructure virtualization
technology and a Global Data center Network. Enabled storage, compute,
network, blades, switches and entire Data Center to be developed with the
potential to be treated as an “appliance” – a “data Center in a Box”
• Refurbishment
• Modernize the Data center and infrastructure
• New Target Infrastructure
• Offer Modular Data Centers and Networks
• Enable a New Operating Model for IT Resources and Software Applications
• Align business capacity needs across global Operation to meet specific
business unit needs

Editor's Notes

  • #6: This is a survey currently from Capgemini in the Fall of 2012. The analysis defines a view of the cloud in terms of cost and adoption from a business user perspective.
  • #7: Is the market the driver or being driven by different business and technology emerging drivers?
  • #11: References:(1) How much data traffic is there on the Internet, will is grind to a halt? Global monthly Internet traffic In 2004 passed 1 exabyte for the first time. In 2010 it was estimated at 21 exabytes per month (source Cisco corp). Bret Swanson in 2007 coined the term exaflood for a supposedly impending flood of exabytes that would cause the Internet's congestive collapse.(Discovery Institute http://www.discovery.org/a/3869)(2) Just how big is 1 exabyte? How big is the Internet?, bigger than humanity. There are more things connected to the internet than there are people on the planet. Think about that for a second; that’s not just smart devices or computers, it’s everything that’s connected to the internet... The tipping point came about 2008....By 2020, 50 billion “things” will be talking to the internet. What kind of things? See infographic in link.
