5. The Cloud customer-space?
“Cloud” Adoption is still low! Yet, the need is there…
% of businesses that…
• 49% suffered from IT downtime
• 20% lost significant amounts of data
• 80% use, evaluate, plan use of Tablets
* By Cloud.com – Cloud Computing Outlook, 2011 * By EMC (2011) & Ernst & Young, Global Information Security Survey (2011)
Moving everything into the cloud might not always be the answer,
but leveraging on cloud through hybrid deployments is!
6. Going Hybrid, Going Fluffy
But if “Cloud” is fluffy and abstract…
Then “Hybrid Cloud” is beyond fluffy
7. Going Hybrid: Defined!
... yet still a little fuzzy wuzzy
“Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private,
community or public) that remain unique entities but are bound
together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models”
(wikipedia, Aug 2012)
8. Going Hybrid : use-cases
… a little less fuzzy wuzzy
Data Backup & archiving
Disaster Recovery (redundant IT)
Off-load (burst) peak capacity needs (to IaaS)
Use selected apps (via SaaS or on IaaS)
9. Hybrid Cloud: challenges
• Limited consistency public & private (lack of standards)
• Data gravity
• Network mobility
• Fear of the unknown (security & data location)
