Overview of State of Minnesota

o Have embarked on Consolidationo About 2,000 IT Workerso Consolidation involves Exec Branch Onlyo About 2 years into Consolidationo Hybrid Model, Slow Processo Approx 5,000 servers “on‐prem”, In cloud?

o 76 different Agencies, Boards, and commissions

Page 6: Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is Cloud vs OnPremise... · Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is ... functions will disappear from on‐ prem in the next 5‐10

What is “SaaS”?o SaaS = Software as a Serviceo Not IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)o Not PaaS (Platform as a Service)o Generally (but not always) it is “end user” software provided at an enterprise level and/or in a multi‐tenant delivery model

o In bigger IT shops, it could be delivered “on‐prem”, but generally, it is cloud based

o Multi‐tenant is becoming more and more prevalent, partly because it lowers the operational costs (economies of scale)

Page 7: Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is Cloud vs OnPremise... · Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is ... functions will disappear from on‐ prem in the next 5‐10

What is “The Cloud”?o Private and Public Cloudso Public Clouds are generally delivered by private sector companies, serving a wide variety of customers or tenants

o Private Clouds are generally limited to one company or entity

o Private Clouds can be delivered either on‐prem or in a “hosted solution”

o Clouds are just combinations of hardware and software, providing IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, XaaS…

SMN Enterprise Cloud Portfolioo Cisco ScanSafe (Web Filtering)o Microsoft Office 365 Dedicated (E‐mail, SharePoint, Instant Messaging, looking at ITAR)

o Microsoft FOPE/EOP (e‐mail virus protection)o AirWatch (Mobile Device Management)o AWS (Amazon Web Services, SaaS)

Page 9: Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is Cloud vs OnPremise... · Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is ... functions will disappear from on‐ prem in the next 5‐10

Benefits of “The Cloud”o Less Expensive (Economies of Scale, Economies of Scale, Economies of Scale)

o No capital outlay for upgrades, less “bumpy” expenditures

o More Secure (not universally accepted … yet)o Less painful upgradeso Faster access to new featureso Faster to “stand up”

Page 10: Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is Cloud vs OnPremise... · Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is ... functions will disappear from on‐ prem in the next 5‐10

Myth of On-prem vs Cloud Securityo Just because you own your own data center does not mean it is more secure.  In fact, generally it is not

o For instance, SMN has a very secure data center, but the Microsoft Data Centers for O365 are much more physically secure

o My experience with cloud providers is that their policies and procedures are, in general, more mature than what I’ve seen in IT shops that I know about, or have worked at

o Just because I know where my data center is, and I know who my employees are, doesn’t mean I think we can do a better job fighting the bad guys or preventing accidental or insider breaches

Page 11: Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is Cloud vs OnPremise... · Cloud vs On-Premise Software: And the Winner is ... functions will disappear from on‐ prem in the next 5‐10

Where is this all going?o Kids do everything in the cloud (they are your future employees)

o Some IT Functions (E‐mail for example) are already disappearing from on‐prem (Microsoft has announced that SharePoint will only be available in the cloud in the future)

o All “commoditized” functions will disappear from on‐prem in the next 5‐10 years (ERP? CRM? Collaboration?)

o Non‐commoditized functions will be candidates for IaaS and PaaS

o Lots of new functions will never have on‐prem equivalents, only delivered in the cloud (things like Google Apps, Yammer, YouTube, etc.)
