Welcome to the

Exponential-e Cloud Revolution

Lee WadeCEO & Founder - Exponential-e

Today, we will provide you with an insight into our World-leading Cloud-Ready Network:

• Where we build your cloud infrastructure so that logically, it sits on your LAN . . . On the clean side of your firewall.

• This negates corporate data security and privacy issues.

• We deliver multiple services over single fibre connections and VPLS Instances supporting multiple QoS levels.

• Where the seamless inter-operability between the Cloud and network infrastructure offers unrivalled solutions . . .

• And the key enabler is our 100GigE Layer 2 VPLS Network.

• Our ‘Non-stop compute platform . . .’

Journey to the Cloud Strategy

DISCOVERY

Survey your Estate• Applications - Which are a good fit for Cloud &

which are not.• Licences - Do they allow Cloud deployment.• Data - Where is it and how will your app.

access it – The Network is key here.• Dependencies – Application, Network 3rd

parties dependencies.• Documentation - Existing & new.

• Use of Tools• Microsoft Assessment & Planning Tool.• IT Audit• VMWare Capacity Manager• Network Monitoring Systems

DESIGN

Based on Discovery Data

• Type of Private Cloud ModelShared, Dedicated, On-Premise or Hybrid.

• Type of NetworkLayer 2, Layer 3 or Hybrid.

• Type of BillingPay-as-you-go (PAYG) , Committed or Hybrid.

• Design Topology, High-Availability, Security, RPO & RTO, Users Access, Bandwidth requirements etc.

PREPARATION

• Proof of Concept• Creation of a Single Environment

• Layer 2 Stretched VLAN.• Single IP subnet across existing & new

environment.• Single Active Directory Domain.

• Use of Disaster Recover & Business Continuity Tools• Synchronise of a physical server to the Cloud

platform.• Synchronise of a virtual server to the Cloud

platform.• Test synchronised Servers in a air lock to pre-test

Making Data Migration seamless.

• Build• Creation and build of New Servers

MIGRATION / BUILD

• Migrations Window• Network Topology and Logical Routing • System Changes

• Change Firewall Rules• Change DNS Records • Update Active Directory polices

• Failover using Disaster Recover & Business Continuity Tools• Initiation of failover from physical server to the Cloud

platform.• Initiation of failover virtual server to the Cloud

platform.

• Data Migration• Via VPN (if data resides in a unconnected site)• Private Network• Through Data Ingest points

TEST

• Network Tests • Throughput• Latency• Packet Loss

• Application Performance & Load Testing

• Failover scenarios• Application Failover• Server Failover• Platform Failover• Network Failover

• RPO & RTO

• User Acceptance

A View to

The Future

Steven HarrisonLead Technologist, Exponential-e

Where did we start?

The key to predicting the future lies in understanding the past…

These new computer systems we are describing differ from other computer systems advertised .... They differ by having a greater degree of open-endedness, by rendering more services, and above all by providing facilities that foster a working sense of community among their users

What will on-line interactive communities be like? In most fields they will consist of geographically separated members, sometimes grouped in small clusters and sometimes working individually. They will be communities not of common location, but of common interest.

Available within the network will be functions and services to which you subscribe on a regular basis and others that you call for when you need them.

The Intergalactic Computer Networkby J.C.R Licklider, 1968

On a Journey Since 2008

Where are we going?

It’s all about the Interface

In 2002, the film Minority Report predicted seven technologies that took less than 10 years to become reality: Heads-Up augmented reality displays (Google Glass), controller-less input (Microsoft Kinect), automated driving (Google Drive), flexible displays (Plastic Logic), Real-time facial recognition (on most smartphones), intelligent targeted advertising (online), autonomous micro drones (BAE Robobugs).

Workplace of the Future?

Some of the challenges of mobility or other flex-work programs are that we’re reluctant to treat workers differently for fear of “fairness” issues, and we’re not very good at managing, let alone managing remote workers. Too many managers rely on attendance and time at one’s desk instead of setting explicit expectations and mastering other management practices needed to make internal (inside the building) or external (anywhere else) mobility work for both the employer and the employee. –Jan Jonson - VP Design and Workplace Resources at Allsteel

Or Worker of the Future?

Dynamic Disruption

Risk is doing nothing. Opportunity is

exploiting everything!

Exponential-e wants to be your partner helping you cross the technology gap!

What to do?

Act. Now. You can and should close as much of the gap as possible by leveraging service-based solutions.
