RightScale Webinar: Cloud is the most nebulous and abused term in information technology today. It describes multiple, disparate service models and has been retroactively applied to countless legacy technologies in attempts to keep them current. In this webinar, we'll discuss the cloud technology landscape and where RightScale fits in to drive agility, cost, and time savings above cloud infrastructure. RightScale has been investing heavily for the past four years to make cloud infrastructure easy to leverage. This webinar will clarify elements that are straightforward, what continues to be difficult, and the impact on your schedule and budget.

10. The edge of the Cloud serves as a point of demarcation
11. The concept of utility based computing goes back to the 60s*James Urquhart** calls it an application centric operations model *John McArthy **Wisdom of Clouds Blog and Cisco
12. Four horsemen Cut costs Improve agility Increase scale & reliability Leverage best practices Highly effective layers of abstraction SaaS – cloaked below the browser PaaS – cloaked below the code IaaS – cloaked below the OS Each layer achieves scalability & reliability through uniformity True IaaS clouds are API-driven What’s Driving Cloud?
24. Track usage and costs across applications and business units
25. All the general purpose things you need to do like: Monitoring, Alarms, Auto-scaling, etcWhat do you do about IT or development personnel unilaterally opening a cloud account and deploying an environment?
36. Automation Operational efficiency Server-to-admin ratio is an indicator of admin costs Inefficient operations as low as 20:1 Above average ratio 150:1 (enterprises typically in the 70 to 140 range) Best practices over 2,000:1 Savings on admin costs of easily 50% Source: Deepak Patil, GFS 2006
52. Parenthesis: What are ServerTemplates? Configuring servers through bundling Images: Custom MySQL 5.0.24 (CentOS 5.2) Configuring servers with ServerTemplates: Custom MySQL 5.0.24 (CentOS 5.4) MySQL 5.0.36 (CentOS 5.4) MySQL 5.0.36 (Ubuntu 8.10) MySQL 5.0.36 (Ubuntu 8.10) 64bit A set of configuration directives that will install and configure software on top of the base image Frontend Apache 1.3 (Ubuntu 8.10) Frontend Apache 2.0 (Ubuntu 9.10) - patched CMS v1.0 (CentOS 5.4) CMS v1.1 (CentOS 5.4) My ASP appserver (windows 2008) My ASP.net (windows 2008) – security update 1 My ASP.net (windows 2008) – security update 8 SharePoint v4 (windows 2003) – 32bit SharePoint v4 (windows 2003) –64bit SharePoint v4.5 (windows 2003) –64bit … Base Image Very few and basic Win 2003 CentOS 5.2 Ubuntu 8.10 CentOS 5.4 Win 2007 Ubuntu 9.10
53. ServerTemplates VS. Integrated approach that puts together all the parts needed to architect single & multi-server deployments
55. Dev & Test Available, Easily Provisioned Resources
56. Batch Processing / Grid Computing Challenges For IT High capital investment, typically low capacity utilization Scheduling conflicts, constant provisioning Specialized architectural and operational skills Specialized software applications and unique datasets For End Users Wait for resources Limited to resources available in the datacenter
85. Human Capital Initial Deployment Ongoing Maintenance Efficiency Gains 67-85% Efficiency Gains ~ 50% Cloud APIs or Consoles RightScale www.rightscale.com/whitepapers Time Cloud Management ROI
