Compute, Storage, Network, Security, Virtualisation
Application Development, Streaming, Web
Email, CRM, Collaboration, Desktop, ERP

Flavours of IaaSThere are two main flavours of IaaS Clouds:
Management
Server Cluster

Enterprise Networking (e.g., VLAN)
Enterprise Storage (e.g., SAN)
Software Defined Networks (e.g., Security Groups, EIP, ELB,...)

Commodity IaaS(Commodity Cloud)
...it’s very important which types of workloads you are planning to host and in which cloud
6
Commodity IaaS
Intended for “Cloud applications” (web-scale applications)
Designed for scale
VM failure acceptable
Limited high availability in zones/ POD’s
(No guarantee on zone reliability)
Applications required to be distributed across availability
zones for redundancy
Applications to be designed to handle node level failure
Software Defined Networks (e.g., Security Groups, EIP, ELB,...)

Enterprise Class IaaS
Intended for Enterprise class applications
Designed for performance
VM is protected
Highly availability network
Achieve significant reliability for applications running in single zone
Achieve redundancy by replicating to secondary zone
Existing workloads will run reliably

Cloud Workloads
Traditional Workloads Distributed (Cloud) Workloads
Reliable Hardware platform High performance Provides Disaster Recovery
capability
Expect failure. Build apps that can withstand infrastructure failure
Build application for multi-site redundancy across zones
Expect failure. Design app for it. Expect reliability. Protect entire cloud.
Possible to categorise workloads into two areas
Enterprise Class IaaS (ECI) Commodity Cloud

Managed Operations
Virtualised Resources
11
Invested in a Vblock solution in 2010 and have consolidated a large
percentage of their server environment using VMware vSphere
Highly Virtualised with approx. 106 Virtual Machines
Organisation delivers $750M annual revenue
No Effective Disaster Recovery
Primary customer Data Centre inadequate due to unreliable power
Data Centre Infrastructure Refresh due September 2013
Overextended IT Operational team
Use Case – Virtual Private DCCustomer Background

12
Risk mitigation strategy for existing Data Centre
Risk mitigation strategy for business continuity
Leverage operating model of cloud and value-add services
Use Case – Virtual Private DCCustomer Requirements / Strategy
Logicalis Solutions
Migration of entire on-premise environment to Logicalis VPDC
Leverage VM Replication, Backup and Operational service
13
Consolidated a large percentage of their server environment using VMware vSphere
Highly Virtualised with approx. 150 Virtual Machines
Currently own and operate 2 x DC’s – Primary and DR
Use Case – DRaaS
Customer Background
Customer Challenges
No Effective DR
Existing DR compute platform doesn’t support the DR capacity requirements
DR Infrastructure scheduled for refresh Q1 2014
Data Protection Challenges
Overextended IT Operational team
14
Short Term
Risk mitigation strategy for business continuity
Data Centre infrastructure refresh avoidance (DR Site)
Provide a DR platform that scales inline with the production environment
Mid Term
Leverage Operating & Commercial model of cloud and value-add services Operational outsourcing of infrastructure management Transparent pricing allowing price per project or dept. chargeback
Address Data Protection challenges
Use Case – DRaaSCustomer Requirements / Strategy
Logicalis Solution
Leverage Logicalis Hybrid DRaaS
Meet short-term goals while reducing TCO for DR
Roadmap to migrate to Logicalis VPDC to accommodate mid-term requirements in future

Will it allow IT to be run as a business? Evolve from reactive to proactive?
IT as a business partner?
Will it allow IT to deliver more innovation to
stakeholders? Reduce operational cost?
IT to deliver more business value?
Will it allow IT minimise fire fighting and reduce risk?
Will it allow IT do more, faster?
VPDC – What Does it Mean to You?
19
What we see! Allows organisations to implement an entire Enterprise Data Centre without the
large capital expense
Provides access to mature service and business management systems to assist
in service evaluation and financial analytics
Leverage complimentary services such as backup, replication and operational
management to allow the right level of protection to your workloads without the
complexities
Allows organisations to remove commodity aspects of operational management
Maintain control and privacy through SLAs and secure multi-tenant architectures
Reduce TCO

Migration Strategy
Q. What is the best way to connect to the cloud? MPLS, VPN, Point-2-Point?
Q. How do I migrate my server environment?
- Limit Risk- Limit migration outage
Q. Can I re-use my Licenses in the Cloud?
Q. How can I be sure that my environment will work in the Cloud?
24
Cloud Migration MethodologyAssess & Plan Design
& Build Pilot Commission
• Assess Networks and Security architecture
• Assess Applications, workloads and dependencies
• Determine Migration requirements, rollback plan and risks
• Develop high level network architecture, migration strategy and rollout plan
• Develop network and security design
• Determine VM server configuration design
• Network• Storage• Backup• Replication
• Document migration schedule
• Deploy and configure network and security design
• Define Pilot objective• Document Pilot test plan• Migrate pilot servers• Configure servers as per
configuration design• Perform user acceptance
testing (UAT)• Document pilot results
What is the best way to connect to the cloud and how do we migrate my server environment?
What’s the best design to meet my requirements and what is the migration schedule timeline?
How do we deliver on time, within budget, to our organisation?
Will the design and migration strategy meet my success criteria?
• Migrate servers as per migration schedule
• Configure servers as per configuration design
• Perform user acceptance testing (UAT)
• Optimise environment
