5. Cloud Has Gone Mainstream

6. Public Cloud & SaaS Winning
“Private cloud, as a thing, is
near to or approaching
zero.”
- Adam Jacob, CTO, Chef
"All of them will go to
Amazon or Microsoft in the
end.”
- Ed Anderson, VP Cloud
Services, Gartner
SaaS & IaaS winning
Amazon & Microsoft leading
pack
Private cloud has struggled
– High cost of management
– Inability to keep pace with
innovation
Change in definition of hybrid
cloud indicator
– 2011: private cloud center of hybrid
strategy
– 2016: public cloud & SaaS center of
hybrid strategy
“By 2018, most software
vendors will have fully
shifted to a SaaS/PaaS code
base.”
- Frank Gens, Senior VP at IDC
7. Enterprise Adoption Is Accelerating
Early cloud adoption
driven in lines of
business (“going
rogue”)
Shadow IT produced
great innovation in
mobile, SaaS, cloud &
open source
But Shadow IT came
with organization risk
Enterprise IT has shifted its approach to remain relevant to
business partners
IT now increasingly driver of cloud adoption
8. Complexity Growing
Multiple products,
services & tools
Increased complexity of
infrastructure
Pace of innovation
Specialized knowledge
Increased complexity of
management
New distribution of
responsibilities
Complexity of managing
TCO / ROI
9. We’re Still Wrestling with Governance
Cloud consists of multiple
services, products & supporting
tools
Each product has different SLAs,
security model, pricing,
management console & more
Cloud management increasingly
shared across organization
IT often influencer / auditor not
owner
Businesses want agility without
sacrificing governance
Organizations increasingly in need new model governance cost,
availability, security, security, availability, usage
Failure to effectively governance cloud major driver in failed / stalled
adoption
10. Security – Still a Concern
Cloud providers have made
substantial investments to make
cloud secure
Rich features can make cloud
more secure than on-premise
But still much ownership
delegated to customer
New approach to security
required to support new models
Risks in lack of security have
never been higher
June 2014 - New Jersey-based
maker of collaboration tools
suffered DoS followed by
request to contact attacker via
email. Upon discovering
breach of AWS accounts, Code
Spaces attempted to lock out
hacker. Hacker discovered
attempt and proceeded to
destroy infrastructure & data.
Company shutdown.
Code Spaces
Wake Up Call
11. Cost is Still a Priority
Cost common reason for failure
(“cloud dropout”)
Lack of clearly communicated
TCO/ROI can derail strategy
Common reasons for cost
overruns
– Lack of standardization, human error,
lack of ongoing optimization, lack of
understanding of optimum
infrastructure
Select 3rd party product to
manage & report TCO
Cost management is continuous
in cloud
12. Vendor Lock-In Concerns Increasing
SaaS services increasingly
divergent
Evolution from IaaS to PaaS
increasing likelihood of lock-in
Data gravity decreases ability to
easily move
Vendor lock in hard to avoid
Customers increasingly looking for freedom of choices
Brokerage giving way to heterogeneous future
Moderator for tonight’s panel
Overview of the state of cloud adoption
Enterprises & fast growing technology companies
Thank MassTLC & sponsors for event
Agility – e.g. Stefan at Constant Contact
Cost – e.g. Dave K at Care.com
Innovation: undifferentiated heavy lifting – e.g. CloudHealth
1 person and $11/ month
month 12 we had 12 people and $1K/month
Today over 80 people
SaaS & IaaS/PaaS have different TALCs
1st wave– technology companies, born in cloud
2nd wave – forwarding thinking enterprises & SMBs
3rd wave – early majority
Cloud is now core to how most companies do business
Businesses spent $53B on SaaS and $28B in IaaS/PaaS in 2015
AWS 2015 revenue alone 10% of total server market
Server market growth at 6%
AWS at 70%+ CAGR
Amazon and Microsoft leading way
Pace of innovation hard to follow – 450+ release updates from AWS in 2015
Early cloud adoption driven by Shadow IT
Enterprises have 100s of Amazon accounts
IT shift in approach to cloud in last 24 months has accelerated enterprise adoption
IT seeking to enable agility in businesses with governance
Complexity of managing cloud growing faster than ability to contain
Companies adopting new process, tools, technology to cope
Pace of change in the cloud unprecedented
Can change cost, performance availability, security, usage with few lines of code
Multiple applications, teams, products need to be managed
Cloud can often be more secure
Code Spaces incident
Take advantage of new features & models available in cloud
Cloud for many uses is cheaper
Constant vigilance required
Cost is major factor in cloud dropouts
Feature differentiation necessitates multiple vendors
Data centers & private cloud not going away
Vendor market consolidation still years in future
Prepare for managing complexity & cost of hybrid future
