How do we launch SaaS without building new data centers and adding operations staff?
Challenges

Re-architect applications
– Multi-tenancy
– Scaling to hundreds or thousands of users
– Metering & tracking usage
– Updating code and infrastructure without downtime
Build applications to scale
– Multiple geographies, different laws
– High availability & failover of networking, security, identity, backup
Build applications to align with operations teams’ concerns – Different hardware configurations
– Trade-off between fast time to market and high availability
Why does getting to SaaS take so long?
Application developers need specialized skills for SaaS

IT
• Obtain, install & configure hardware for dev & QA
Development
• Create the release
• Create deployment & ops docs
• Replicate errors and fix
QA
• Configure the infrastructure & install the release
• Run test suite
• Document & reproduce errors for development
Production
• Obtain, install & configure hardware
• Configure infrastructure & install the release
• Run the app
Traditional software delivery cannot keep pace
How long does this process take for you? Where’s the biggest pain?

Virtualization, by itself, won’t get you to market faster
More things to manage- physical & virtual
More effort to construct a multi-tier app into a service
Global deployments mean repeating the effort in every data center
Servers, databases, hypervisors, VMs
No economies of scale across data centers
Scripting & automation help address these issues, BUT…
IP addresses Naming Network connectivity Resources Patching
• Require expertise • Require time • Are fragile • Don’t grow your
business
