New deployment model for IT services and infrastructure
#1 Resource pooling (central management interface)
#4 Workload mobility (moving apps across networks)
#2 Consumption as a service (billing by usage)
#3 Automated provisioning (self-service portal)
Broad capability (specific implementation)
Note on cloud:
Computing resources include applications, virtual servers, storage, processing, memory, network parameters), are dynamically allocated
on-demand, and are provided though a network.

Starter Cloud
Like to experiment with Cloud
Proof of Concept - Need a “quick win”
• Cloud mandate from CXO
• Simple use cases e.g., Dev/ Test
Solution Cloud
Cloud as a delivery model for specific
applications (e.g. VDI, UC)
• Willing to evolve to broader use cases
• Private or Public cloud
• Infrastructure and enterprise apps
Private Cloud
Committed to Cloud for broader IT/app needs
• Ready for Cloud Services as primary IT delivery model
• Multi-use case/apps
• Integrate with existing apps & business processes
• Virtualizing legacy/ mission critical apps
Public Cloud
Need full feature, on-demand
infrastructure and services but have
low service delivery readiness in IT
• Demand Uncertainty
• Need agility & flexibility

• Hardware/Vendor Agnostic
Hypervisor-based Virtualization Cloud tools (typically
VMware/MSFT) install on top of HW
Upgrade your existing and proven VM environment to
Cloud VM with software (and $) only
Reduces the platform vendors constraints around pre-
tested bundles with FW packages to maintain, etc.
• Less complicated
Not turning over control of environment to proprietary
HW/FW/SW packages
Easy to deploy
• Drawbacks
Not prepackaged with vendor
proven/approved/certified/supported bundles
Limited enterprise orchestration and automation
functionality

• OpenStack:
Good buzz, strong popularity
Generally regarded as unstable and lagging in functionality*
• CloudStack:
Owned by Citrix (licensed version is called CloudPlatform)
Recently open sourced through Apache
Generally regarded as more stable and feature rich than OpenStack
• Eucalyptus:
Significant relationship with Amazon; product closely mimics Amazon APIs
Open core** approach unpopular with open source developers
* Numerous sources: Gartner (Apr 3, 2012); Gartner (Sep 14, 2012); InfoWorld (Apr 6, 2012); Network Computing (May 23, 2012)
** Eucalyptus considers most of its platform to be open source, but retains proprietary rights to several key components
Common theme: Requires strong “open source” culture to realize any value
