• One size does not fit all• Two speeds of IT —Two speeds of infrastructure
• The infrastructure of the past shouldn't dictate the infrastructure of the future
Bimodal IT — Not Hybrid Infrastructure
Cloud IaaS will NOT be a commodity

Mode 1 Traditional Mode 2 AgileLeadership IT operations/procurement Enterprise architect
Priority Cost reduction Developer productivity
Viewpoint Efficient infrastructure Infrastructure as code
Expectations Low-cost commodity (?) Highly differentiated
Use cases "Lift and shift";; dev./test New apps;; digital business
Scale Static or predictable Dynamic;; Web-scale
Management ITIL DevOps
Tools Extend existing tools Adopt cloud-native tools
You cannot add a little agility to Mode 1 to get Mode 2!

1. Fast provisioning! = Agility. You can't sprinkle on agility any more than you can add quality.
2. It's not just about infrastructure. Think about the entire application stack.
3. It's not just about the operational benefits. Improve the application life cycle.
4. The infrastructure isn't the hard part. Transforming the organization — That's hard.

The Winners: Hyperscale Megavendors

From: "Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service," 28 May 2014 (G00261698)
From: "Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, Worldwide," 18 May 2015 (G00265139)
Brutal Competitive Dynamics
14
Greater efficiency of infrastructure operations.
Better leverage ofsoftware development.
Greater breadth and depth ofecosystem.
Software is a scale game. No scale = Forced into niche.
The Advantages of Scale
15
• Market share concentrated with Top 2 to 4 providers
• Highly differentiated offerings
• Large number of niche providers
• Niche providers may be more commodity (geographic focus)
• Businesses will use multiple providers
• Businesses will choose 1 or 2 strategic providers
• Most applications will be deployed to a single provider
• Provider for each app chosen by use case
Customers Will Pick Strategic Winners

Key Issues
17
Governance, Not Control
18
Not everything can or should be cloud
Some workloads must remain on-premise due to regulatory compliance or tie to physical location
Private cloud-building technology will not deliver breadth, depth, innovation of service providers
IT orgs. likely can't update, innovate, reduce costs of internal clouds as quickly as providers
Principles to Keep in Mind
19 © 2015 Gartner, Inc. and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
No One Tool to Rule Them All
Bimodal, hybrid IT portfolioNot hybrid infrastructure management
Best-of-breed native-oriented toolsNot commoditized resource management
Unified tooling only where it makes senseFinancial management, compliance, etc.
20
Build It Yourself? Make It Competitive!
Has the necessary features — Not just for IT ops. but devs./engineers/scientists
Cost-competitive — Now and in 3 years
Serves a distinctive use case
Consider PaaS instead of IaaS
21 © 2015 Gartner, Inc. and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Establish a Cloud Center of ExcellenceProvide cross-functional leadership
Enterprise architect as leaders
Establish policiesGovernance, security,
use cases
Serve as a brokerGuide to best practice, manage vendors
22
Plan a bimodal IT strategy, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to infrastructure.
Choose cloud IaaS providers strategically.Take advantage of cloud-native capabilities.Transform the organization, process, and tools.
