Find the way to build a more INNOVATIVEIT infrastructure

Starting point: commercial Cloud Management Platforms (CPMs)

‣ Many enterprises operate large VMware-based virtualized infrastructures.

‣ Support legacy, mission-critical applications or enterprise databases.

“According to Gartner: the modular

architecture of OpenStack provides extreme

flexibility in terms of implementation, particularly when compared with the

flexibility in terms of implementation, particularly when compared with the

fixed-function design of many monolithic commercial Cloud Management Platforms

(CMPs).”

Which risks? Identify a strategy!

• The cloud can provide significant benefits to a

company

– Build a massively scalable infrastructure, easily

resources monitoring based on consumption, resources monitoring based on consumption,

shared and multi-tenant.

• However, there are also considerable risks:

– Which services should we move to cloud

computing and when?

– Which strategy we should use?
