Try it out…
Build a plan…
Trail running metaphor
What we have seen is, for many companies, planning a cloud strategy is like staring a forest from a distance….Hard to discern, difficult to navigate, everything looks the same.
So today, my goal is to help go from something like this..
To this…
I want to provide a path through the trees. Provide a beautiful path, with clear steps.
Here is what we’re going to cover today.
Try my best to avoid giving the marketing pitch – give you 1-2 original ideas that you can think about
“Groundswell”
Important inflection point in IT history
Most significant change in IT’s mission in 20 year
This groundswell is raising expectations of IT, CEO expect CIOs to lead digital transformation of the enterprise
Gartner
CEOs Are Signaling the First Significant Change to IT's Mission in More Than 20 Years
Published: 10 April 2014
But paradoxically, CIO have not been given the budget (or at least control) the budget for digital transformation. This, by in large, has been given to the line of business.
This is all of the stuff the CEO and board members care about – projects that drive top line growth, innovation, process differentiation
(Gartner, 2014)
Our take…
Do you agree? Anyone else in this room challenged with the same set of issues?
Seems like a permanent reality.
Public cloud services are an important accelerant to business change. But, despite the wide spread acceptance of public cloud among businesses, only 8% of overall enterprise workloads have moved to the public cloud. The reality is – for many organizations - the advantages of speed, scale, economic flexibility and agility still do not out-weigh the perceived cost (and perceived risk) of sacrificing enterprise standardization, control, security and compliance. Most enterprise CIO are rationalizing these trade-offs and continue maintain status quo.
There has no service in the market today that balances seemingly divergent needs of enterprise cloud computing. We recognized this, and set forth on a path to create an enterprise cloud service that bridged the needs of CIOs and enterprise IT leaders, with the advantages that line-of-business developers have grown to expect with typical public cloud services.
This concept we call HYBRID.
For us, it’s as much of a business principle as it is a technical characteristic of our service.
For today’s session – I’ll concentrate on the technical aspects of the service and the business opportunities created through what we deliver.
As some of you may have caught from the keynote on Day 1 with Bill Fathers, Executive VP and GM of the Hybrid Cloud business unit here at VMware, our Infrastructure as a Service offering, vCloud Hybrid Service is now known as vCloud Air. You may hear it used interchangeably here at VMworld, as the name update just happened on Friday, August 22nd. Just wanted to draw attention to the name change to prevent confusion during the presentation today.
