TRANSCRIPT
Reaching a Cloud Equilibrium…Things You Should Consider
Tony EnciniasVice PresidentPublic Sector Strategy
We are a cloud Based Consumption Society
The Cloud concept of providing services to citizens and employees has been around a long time
THINK ABOUT IT!
It’s NOT new in Government either!
The Cloud concept of providing services to citizens and employees has been around a long time
WE ARE A CLOUD BASED CONSUMPTION SOCIETY!
What is Cloud…the every elusive question!
Cloud computing is a model for
enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing
resources (e.g., networks, servers,
storage, applications, and services)
that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management
effort or service provider interaction.
This cloud model is composed of five
essential characteristics, three service
models, and four deployment models.
NIST DefinitionSpecial Publication 800-145
Traditional IT Infrastructure Model
stove pipe IT infrastructure
inefficient resource usage
increased deployment time
high operating costs
inflexibility for scaling
40 percent of expense
unable to leverage new technologies
Private CloudDedicated to one organization
Public CloudShared by many organizations
What type of Cloud is right for you?
Types of Cloud
For State and Local Government….the Hybrid Cloud is the best approach
Hybrid CloudCustomized mix of Public and Private
Changing IT Landscape
cloud computing
social media
mobility
Advances in technology (infrastructure and network)
Demands are changing the rules…care less about technology and more
about making IT work on demand
Fiscal Realities
tax revenue still down
underutilized resources
consuming limited budget
hardware refreshes becoming more
infrequent
high operating costs
inflexibility for scaling
Unsustainable Model

Solving the IT Challenge
CapEx
Traditional Buy a Box Model
Hard Costs
• Primary Hardware
• Supporting Hardware
• Software licenses
• Management
software
• Maintenance
• Infrastructure set
• Installation costs
Soft Costs
• Continuous
procurement
• Staff time
• Tech refresh
• Feature/ function
Improvements
OpEX
Streamlined Costs
• Cost per GB, TB, CPU, memory
per day or per month
• Unit prices decline over time
• SLA based
• One-time procurement
• No minimum spend or allocation

Cultural Changesmanage IT based on
services and SLA’s
infrastructure isNOT yours…YOU DON’T
NEED TO OWN IT!
changing core server/storage skills to managing capacity
viewing computeas a utility
Hardest part of the equation…long term habits hard to break!
business focused
Fundamental Thinking
change emphasis from controlling
systems and assets to delivering new
capabilities
IT must evolve beyond administration of infrastructure and
manage vendors who provide it
IT infrastructure is still mission-critical

Ready to Embrace Cloud? What is my Cloud mix? Who manages your Cloud?
What type of data in the Cloud? Your Cloud migration strategy? Your Governance model?
Requirements to reduce CAPEX spending
Cloud First initiative
Accelerated time to value & optimize application performance
Focus IT team to drive organizational value vs “running hardware”
Deploy pre-optimized and validated solution designs
Exit life cycle management challenges
Improve end user service agreements through self provisioning
Enable a true partnership with IT customers
Top Drivers for Cloud Solutions
Decisions, decisions, decisions
On premise private cloud
off premise public cloud
Consumption based compute (IaaS, PaaS, MaaS)
Hybrid –private/public
Cloud based/on demand is the infrastructure of
tomorrow
system/application analysis…providing
service
Mapping your Journey to the Cloud
Start small
Focus on non-critical applications first
Communicate to stakeholders
Ensure cloud vendors talk specifics
Do a thorough assessment of your applications
