Work With the Business

Establish strong links into lines of business

• Pro cloud?• Anti-cloud?• Either way – IT needs to be the trusted

advisor

Identify early wins

• Mobile access file sharing?• New service in the cloud?• Demonstrate the savings or benefits at

every stage; good metrics and record keeping is essentialDon’t Set Yourself at Odds

Five Factors for Cloud Success

88

1. Identify key metrics and monitor them properly

• The Imperative of Metrics Get a grip on reporting Get a grip on sprawl Automate where possible Be mindful of ingress and

egress charges

2. Challenge the Status Quo in the Cloud

• The Imperative of Staying Ahead Public Cloud is an ideal place to experiment

Reducing on premise costs will provide more funds for ‘Your Organisation 2.0’

Use the cloud for Dev & Test

Consider portability from the start…

3. Keep your options open

• The Imperative of Avoiding Lock-in Don’t get locked-in by hypervisors

Don’t get locked-in by Hardware

Ensure you can move workloads between clouds

And then there’s the issue of governance…

4. Don’t assume Public Cloud is always the answer

• The Imperative of Right Time, Right Place

Compliance and other Systems of Record are good candidates for on premise/Private Cloud

Fragmenting compliance tools over multiple silos can lead to issues

Don’t lose important data in the cloud

5. Know what you are signing up to

• The Imperative of Careful Research

What storage or compute price models suit your expected use cases?

Public Cloud, IaaS, PaaS, or other *aaS options?

What legal implications are there for your organisation?

Just because you start something in one cloud, it doesn’t mean it has to stay there

“If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there”

Time for IT to rein in cloud computing control         by: Alex BarrettModern Infrastructure Editor-in-Chief   Developers have enjoyed an era of 'free cloud love,' with unlimited public cloud access. But nothing lasts forever, as IT looks to rein in the cloud.

Cloud Computing’s Waste Land

Companies that don't monitor cloud server use

may be paying their provider for compute cycles

when no one is using them.

5. Know what you are signing up to

• The Imperative of Careful Research

Use Case: Public Cloud Disaster Recovery

2121

Why is Public Cloud a Good Option for DR?

•Cost & Choice!

• You only Pay for what you consume

• You probably already have an account or bundled capacity

• A wide range of DIY or integrated service options

•Scalability

• The elastic nature of Cloud

•Always On/Utility

• Assists your own goals of Service Continuity

IaaS/DRaaSService

Providers?

22

Why is Public Cloud DR Difficult?

• It’s Complicated – Lots of variables to manage

• Hypervisor and Hardware Lock-in

• Transport – getting data to and from it (and associated cost)

• Repatriation – once in the cloud, will you ever get it back?

Recovery Alignment: Data Logistics and the Cloud

24

What’s more important:The Application or the Virtual Machine?

Application integrated protection provides consistency, but not all methods provide the same recovery options

The majority of recoveries are applications and files, not machines

Restoring data is not the same thing as recovering the service/application

The type of protection should not sacrifice one to achieve the other

Example: Live Sync in Action

Protection Operation is run against VMs to be replicated : This will be a low impact incremental backup

1

After Protection Operation is Complete Changed Blocks are Shipped to Standby VMs: This can be a synchronous or asynchronous operation

2

OR DASH Copy is Performed to Secondary Site: Synthetic Full, changed blocks, deduped

Then Changed Blocks are Overlaid on Replicated VMs: via Automated Restore
