Hybrid CloudPrivate CloudPublic Cloud

Multiple cloud strategies provide flexible optionsBalance cost and scale with security and control

• On premise

• Dedicated infrastructure

• Fixed cost

• Complete control

• Known security

• Off premise

• Shared infrastructure

• Low utility cost

• Elastic capacity

• On/off premise

• Low utility cost

• Self-service

• Fully elastic

• Trusted security

• Corporate control

Leverage infinite scale and flexibility across private and public clouds

Evolve the datacenter to be more cloud-like

Build an Amazon-style cloud for maximum flexibility

Maintain control and keep sensitive data on-premise

Extend the datacenter to gain unlimited capacity

Tap low-cost compute from service providers

Ensure network transparency

and security across clouds

Connect

Hybrid Cloud Use Cases I would like this one from enterprise cloud networking photo choices

• Capacity Extension○ Burst out separate clusters: dev/test, builds, batch

processing

• Geographical Coverage○ Public clouds offer rapid, broad coverage – private go

anywhere

• Price-to-Performance Ratio○ Purpose-built cloud

• Disaster Recovery○ Ramp up DR deployment from cold, warm, or hot spares

• IT Self-Service○ Simple IT vending machine can launch workloads anywhere

So how do you get there from here?

Built-in cloud providers… or add your own

IT is more secure, lower cost, easier to manage and “ready for anything”

Challenges & opportunities Build a cost-effective, private cloud to enable university researchers unlimited access to academic IT resources

SolutionCitrix CloudStack with XenServer enabling an integrated solution for provisioning, management and operation of IT resources from a unified portal

ResultReduced operational cost and power consumption per server by up to 20 percent

Provided an agile environment for consuming IT resources

Equipped faculty members with a cost-effective method to share, collaborate and store academic data

Citrix Confidential – Do Not Distribute

Challenges & opportunities Extremely complex IT services policies with highly distributed IT services requirements and strict security and compliance rules

SolutionLaunched private cloud based on Citrix CloudStack, XenServer and NetScaler

ResultImproved project support by moving provisioning process closer towards the customer

Increased efficiency and planning by delivering the service on-demand vs. over provisioning

Provides governance/consistency layer for apps

Improves quality of service by eliminating variance in applications and infrastructure

Citrix Confidential – Do Not Distribute

Challenges & opportunities Build private cloud for corporate research development projects which had high upfront expenses, slower setup times and lacked standardization across distributed sites

SolutionCitrix CloudStack for rapid provisioning of compute resources for development and test environments

ResultAchieved 21st century speed setting up new research projects with “instant-on” access to compute resources

Lowered administrative overhead with a “single pane of glass” for managing projects across several locations

Maximized existing investments with flexibility to integrate different networking, virtualization and management components
