1. Private Cloud
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

2. the Good, the Bad, the Ugly
The “Man with No Name” spaghetti-western
trilogy titles are pretty much like IT these days:
–A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
–the PC?
–For a Few Dollars More (1965)
–the Internet?
–The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
–the Cloud?

3. Defining “the Cloud”
Image source: wordle.

6. if, at first, people were very reserved
when it came to “the Cloud”...

7. …now many some actually want to
move…
in the cloud

8. …but do they all know what to
expect?

9. VIRTUAL? PRIVATE? CLOUD?

23. Essential questions
• Why would I want to build a Private Cloud?
• Who do I build it for in the end?
• What do I want to offer?
• SLA, compliance (PCI, ISO)

24. what do we look at when we build a
Virtual Private Cloud ?

25. 1. budget
cost per kWh, price per U, bandwidth and
connectivity costs, technical staff, etc.

26. 2. architecture
structure, scalability, reliability,
redundancy, security, flexibility

27. 3. hardware
server (MIPS/MOPS), storage (I/O-OPS),
network (1Gbps, 10Gbps, infiniband, fiber)

28. 4. virtualization layer

29. 5. management / automation

30. 6. internal processes
security & incident response policies,
fast problem detection/fixing,
disaster recovery, high availability,
time to get a server back online

31. 7. people
post-deployment maintenance,
technical staff

The Cloud is fun and useful… (the good)
…if you know how to use it… (the bad)
…while being prepared for anything (the ugly)
