Business Strategy: Leverage early success in SP/Telco into greenfield on-premise clouds on the path to the hybrid cloud end game

SP/Telco Clouds

Cloud Platforms (General Purpose)

Grow with success of design wins

2010–2013

1

Hybrid Clouds

Cloud Federation (Connect Apps & Infrastructure)

De facto end state – manage apps across hybrid clouds

2014–2017

3 Cloud Solutions

(Greenfield Clouds)

Deliver Enterprise solutions, leverage integration

to XenDesktop & NetScaler

2012–2015

Two fundamental types of application workloads

Expect reliability Back-up everything HA, Fault tolerance

Admin control recovery

SAP, Oracle, AutoCAD, Exchange

Design for failure Ephemeral resources Multi-site redundancy Self-service recovery

Big Data, HPC, Social, Gaming

Think Server Virtualization Think Amazon Web Services
