A Generational Shift to “everything as a Service”
Centralised compute & storage,
thin clients
Technology Impact
Economic Impact
Business Impact
Optimised for efficiency due to
high cost
High upfront costs for hardware and
software
PCs and servers for distributed compute,
storage, etc.
Optimised for agility due to
low cost
Perpetual license for OS and application

contract in? How do I incorporate this
into my workflow and who is paying for operations?

Signed up for public cloud via promo code – 3 servers Cycle = 1 Day
Today 500 servers across three locations (U.S., EU, AUS) on the Hosted Private +Public Cloud Cycle = 90 Days
In final negotiations to purchase hybrid private cloud Cycle = TBD

We’ve come a long way already…
Exploit IT through
Everything as a Service
From “Accidental Architecture”
To Virtualisation
From IT Agility To
Business Agility
© Copyright Dimension Data 35 12 March 2013
Although business and IT can sometimes be odds .. Cloud can be the bridge or catalyst for the change to IT Service Provider or a step in the move to “Everything as a Service”
There are critical characteristics that make cloud “Cloud” Its not “just fast provisioning” it’s about flexibility and pay for what for you use and eliminating feral IT
Roles and responsibilities will change. The peak load mentality and because “we always do/did/can” excuse must go
IT agility IS business agility. Understand what options and delivery model works for you and start early so that the business does not bypass you in their rush to consume.
