The path to the cloud is easier with NTT clouds
I often talk about standardization in technology, and how new technologies need to take
a more personalized approach to be successful in the marketplace. For the most part,
that’s true. There are some cases, though, where Henry Ford’s theory of standardization
is still valid for technology, and that’s the migration and management of the cloud. In
that case, the biggest hurdle to making this technology viable for all companies is the
opposite problem—a complete lack of standards.
The cloud promises greater speeds, more flexibility and ease of scale along with overall
lower unit costs. But in the world of public, private, or even hybrid clouds, there is a lot
of variability. IT leaders are constantly faced with tremendous complexity because of the
many ways that clouds are provisioned, configured, and billed. Having a number of
different cloud providers means that inevitably there will be variations in service level
agreements, inconsistent user interfaces, and when companies try to cobble together
blends of public and private clouds, the promised increased speeds can disappear.

2. Still, the benefits of the cloud are too tantalizing to ignore, and that is why NTT
i3
innovators sought to work through the inherent problems and deliver a platform that
allows IT leaders to deliver on the cloud’s real potential. This month, we unveiled NTT
clouds, a suite of products designed to streamline and simplify the cloud migration,
management and development process. These modular products include:
 NTT clouds Plan (m2cloud) for prioritization,
planning and accelerating the cloud migration
process
 NTT clouds Migrate (AMA) for application
onboarding, application workload benchmarking,
complete runtime management and optimization,
with integrated governance for security, user, and
rights management, and
 NTT clouds Develop (DevOps+) for quick planning,
development and deployment of new applications
and updates, automation of routine tasks, and
customizable dashboards for workflow management
and data visualization
With NTT clouds, we’re bringing order to the chaos of the cloud so IT leaders can use it
to deliver on the cloud’s promise. NTT clouds is making cloud migration and
management easier and less expensive for IT, and is making computing in a changing,
evolving corporate environment a better, more unified experience for everyone.
