Private & Public Cloud coexistence:
Private Cloud is to stay, but expand to
public cloud, resulting into increasing
demand for Hybrid Cloud Apps and

Distributed Application Public cloud brings new value and coexist with legacy
Economic and technical trends are pushing the IT Industry.
These trends are deciding factor on how new applications
compose
Scaling, redundancy, caching, versioning are important aspects
of a distributed application.
We must create new models for application deployments
What can these applications count on for data, state,
connectivity?
How can the applications do work when confronted with new
constraints and challenges?
We must evolve our application architecture models
Distributed applications, in a hybrid cloud context, demand
new integration mechanism, with increasing demand for
iPaaS (integration-Platform-as-a-Service)

iPaaS (integration-Platform-as-a-
Service)
iPaaS - new generation lightweight
Integration systems, IaaS agnostic, with
multiple deployment options
Old On-Premise Integration stacks are the same products that
have given Integration a bad name for decades - as being
expensive, overly complex, difficult to manage, maintain and
deploy, brittle, and have development cycles measured in months
and months..
New Hybrid cloud deployment scenarios require new generation of
integration means
Scaling, redundancy, caching are important aspects of the new
hybrid cloud integration scenarios.
We must evolve our integration models

Real-Life Case Study #1 Manufacturer Expands in Europe, Australia and US with
Hybrid Cloud Technology from CloudBasic
Underpinning the constant growth of the company is a
sophisticated IT infrastructure that ties together its
distributed operations and accommodates the constant flow
of information. Recognizing the vital importance that IT plays
in its success, this company has made analysis of IT
integration requirements part of its new business partner
evaluation process. During the planning phases for
expansion in Europe, Australia and United States,
management identified the need to develop the capabilities
to integrate the private cloud, US based, ERP with external
3PLs and transportation carriers systems and to add
integration with payment processors, via expanding of the
ERP into public cloud, with an iPaaS tying the pieces
together.
Real-Life Case Study #1 Manufacturer Expands in Europe, Australia and US with
Hybrid Cloud Technology from CloudBasic
Customer’s leadership had recognized the strategic value of
cloud computing to the ambitious expansion plans they were
charting and were looking for a strong partner to help
navigate this new technology. CloudBasic’s PaaS & iPaaS
products were selected for the unmatched capabilities. A
critical decision influencing feature was the ability of the
platform to redeploy production systems from one public
cloud provider to another at the push of a button without any
recoding or reconfiguration.
CloudBasic’s PaaS & iPaaS are next generation Cloud
Application Platforms that abstract the Cloud Provider
specifics and allows the development of rich, HTML5 based
applications for seamless delivery across legacy and mobile
devices.

Hybrid cloud solution: composition of
Windows Azure based CloudBasic PaaS
& iPaaS, private cloud ERP and E-
commerce store fronts based on Amazon
EC2 & S3.

Real-Life Case Study #1 Solution: Hybrid-Cloud composition of private and public clouds,
with CloudBasic’s Fusion iPaaS tying all pieces together.
Real-Life Case Study #2 Online merchant replicates large eBay stores, into private
label, public cloud based, E-Commerce store in real-time.
This company is an online merchant specializing in gold and silver
fashion jewelry. The company started as a micro operation with a
single eBay store and through aggressive organic growth expanded to
multiple online stores and product lines.
As a result of its rapid expansion, this client was struggling to
efficiently introduce new merchandise lines across its digital
properties and maintain proper inventory counts and levels. This was
causing the online order processing system to allow “out-of-stock”
sales to go through and cause undue frustration and alienation among
the end customers. In addition, the delays caused by the manual
introduction of new items were forcing the company to miss on time
sensitive opportunities to capitalize on dynamic fashion trends. With
tens of thousands of items in their catalog, the situation was quickly
getting out of hand and threatening the very existence of the
company.
Slide 17
CloudBasic iPaaS was used to design a hybrid cloud integration scenario,
with series of event-driven and scheduled workflows that automate all
aspects of inventory management across all online stores. The new
solution takes advantage of the robust built-in execution framework to
provide seamless around-the-clock inventory updates and merchandise
content synchronization.
