How to Ensure Business Continuity in the Cloudand change the way we use and manage IT

Giorgos Gerogiannis, Datacenter & Cloud Solutions Manager

IT needs to become smarter … get new choices

• Some use the word “Cloud” to describe new consumption and delivery models.

• Regardless of terminology, it is clear that these new models are emerging for the enterprise – even if they were first inspired by consumer Internet services.

• Self-service, economies-of-scale, and flexible sourcing options – new choices of deployment – define these new models.

o Imaging

• Poor performance:

o Slow RTO, RPO (days)

• Hidden costs:

o How do we get the data backin to a useable state?

o How long to rebuild server?

• Focus is on protecting application

o Clustering

o Like-for-like infrastructure

• Performance, but at what price?

o Near-zero RTO, RPO

• High cost:

o Duplicate infrastructure

o Management complexity
