How to Make Your Move to the Cloud with Confidence
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like973 views
This document discusses how to move to the cloud with confidence by properly evaluating cloud providers and workloads. It recommends: 1) Selecting candidate cloud providers based on requirements like security, locations, compliance and pricing. 2) Benchmarking providers by testing real workloads over time on different machines and comparing performance of infrastructure components and applications. 3) A case study where benchmarking found one provider was 47% cheaper than another for a company after workloads were properly sized based on performance needs. Benchmarking helped optimize costs through performance normalization.

- 10. The Beauty of Cloud (or IaaS)
- 11. Infrastructure at your fingertips – (fast and easy) BENEFITS OF THE CLOUD Utility based charging – (pay only for what you need) Dynamically scale – (adjust with your changing needs) CapEx to OpEx – (less up front expenditures)
- 12. MOVING TO THE CLOUD 88 percent of enterprises are using public cloud while 63 percent are using private cloud. In 12 months, 27 percent of enterprise respondents expect to have more than 1,000 VMs — more than doubling the current 13 percent. 13 percent of enterprises run more than 1,000 VMs in public cloud, while 22 percent of organizations run more than 1,000 VMs in private cloud. http://www.rightscale.com/blog/cloud-industry-insights/cloud-computing-trends-2015-state-cloud-survey
- 13. Why it’s difficult to move to the Cloud with Confidence?
- 14. NOTHING IN THE CLOUD IS STANDARD AND ITS ALWAYS CHANGING Some providers… while others… Have packaged VMs Have customizable resources Use local storage Use persistent SAN storage Bill by the hour or minute Bill by the month or year Include support Charge for support Back up your VM by default Do not back up your VMs Have flexible networking Have inflexible networking
