Unlocking your inner service provider self
What IT organizations can learn from
service providers
 Elasticity
 Multi-tenancy
 Billing and chargeback
 Cost discipline
 Open source expertise
 Customer service

14.
Private Cloud Enablement
Imitate Turn your own datacenter
Emulate into a cloud that works like
Replicate Amazon, Rackspace…
Advantages:
 Security and compliance
 Leveraging existing investment in datacenters
 Powers new IT-as-a-service model inside organizations
 New IT refresh cycle for suppliers!
But
 Private cloud is ring-fenced and finite
 Doesn’t reproduce elasticity of hosted cloud

15.
A Multi-Cloud World

16.
A multi-cloud world
Cloud service providers and hosting partners will be required
Hybrid model is dominant:
 Virtualized, automated on-premise infrastructure with a
hosted elastic option
 Rackspace, Amazon, VMware, Salesforce.com, Microsoft and
others acknowledge this
 Managed service providers, co-lo, datacenter operators
 Converged infrastructure – big investments e.g. VCE
 Community, partner, vertical

Energy: Internal service delivery via private cloud
Goals:
 The prize: greater agility, save money
 Overcome CFO scepticism with business case for cloud
 Private cloud for most apps with hybrid for ‘infinite scale’ scale
 Manage as one system
Business challenges: Benefits:
 Thousands of guerilla AWS users  Enfranchise vs outlaw
 Public cloud not ready, not cheaper  Move to in-house private cloud for
 Inappropriate for many apps, insecure most apps
 Until DCs are depreciated there’s no  Use more SaaS – controlled by IT
driver for change  Most savings will come from hybrid
 Eco reality: internal budgeting based IaaS over multiple years for ‘infinite
on ‘how much will you use next year scale’
 PaaS – some PoCs, no use case

18.
Financial Services: service provider to the business
Goals:
 Become a service provider to the business
‘Big Four’
 Four-year journey - 2,500 servers in 2011
Australian
bank  Using cloud orchestration layer to manage hybrid
 Security is way behind – “pulling the regulator with us”
 Organizational transformation Benefits:
 Standard platforms, reusable  Time to market
components
 40% cost savings
 Enterprise services = manufacturer
 Roll out across all units, geographies
 Flexibility
 Sourcing from multiple clouds  No new datacenters
 Inject and control virtual firewall into  No longer rely on one
cloud sourcing partner

19.
Life sciences: Amazon IaaS, hybrid cloud
Goal: To become an internal cloud hoster
and service provider using public/private
clouds, featuring self service, best
execution venue
Business challenges: Cloud solution:
 Save money. Not build new  Multiple apps, users and groups
datacenters for near-term, raw capacity on EC2
 More predictable cost model  Using VPC tactically for massive
 Time to results, market scale
 Get benefit of public clouds  Testing cloud on-ramps to EC2
internally and others clouds (IT ops)
 Testing private cloud (IT ops)

20.
The Impact of IT Metering

21.
What are the characteristics of IT Metering? Propaganda vs Reality
 Know where you are before you know how to get
where you’re going
 You can’t improve what you can’t measure
 Measuring what matters
 Comparing across environments
 Best Execution Venues
 Foundation of an IT utility

22.
Cloudonomics
 IT cost center to IT as a service
 Benchmarking against Amazon
• AMI a de facto standard?
• VMware in the enterprise
 Cost allocation - it’s a rate card
 Budgeting – run wild/consumption vs allocation
 Support Opex vs Capex decisions
 Showback and shadow billing
 Budgeting reality, depreciation
 Is the organization ready?

So how do you make it happen?

A Utility Requires Normalized Metering
• This applies to all utilities & commodities - example: electricity meters are
calibrated in common billing units, the standard being the kilowatt/hour
• Normalized cloud/IT metering is critical to seamlessly and transparently
quantify & cost capacity and measure individual usage & aggregate demand.

“The faculty tends to believe that his on-campus services are expensive. This is partly
because they compare his charges to ‘the basic price of an EC2 instance on the Amazon
website,’ without factoring in additional charges for getting data in and out of Amazon.
The WAC helps make these comparisons more accurate.”
