Overview: Many organizations have upward of 75% of their production servers virtualized. The results are easy to see: fewer, better utilized servers and lower data center costs. The next logical evolution for these companies is the private cloud. Private IaaS clouds are highly standardized, automated, virtual pools of compute, storage, and network resources. The virtual resources could be deployed via self-service portals by developers, shared across business units, and metered for pay-per-use chargeback.
This presentation will show what the requirements are and how to approach a private cloud implementation. We will discuss the essential components of a private cloud: self-service that let’s authorized users select from a number of deployment options, automated provisioning, resource management to control demand and supply, as well as accounting for service consumption. The webinar will then discuss another model that is starting to gain some traction: the hybrid cloud, where a private and a public cloud are combined to meet different application requirements. We will highlight the typical use cases of hybrid clouds and some of the inherent challenges. The presentation closes with a high level cookbook for the selection of a cloud deployment model that fits your organization.
Why Should you Attend: Private cloud is a big ticket item that is on the radar for most Fortune 2000 companies. Its premises are appealing - get the best of both worlds, the flexibility of a public cloud and the control over your own infrastructure. However, Forrester found that most enterprises haven’t matured their cloud management practices to the point where they could fully exploit the private cloud.
There are also significant risk factors: often the implementation costs are under estimated (we already have the hardware, right?) as well as the management complexity of a private cloud, and the in-house staff often does not have the skills to successfully operate the cloud.
While the hybrid cloud sounds good in all the vendor literature, in practice there can be serious roadblocks for an efficient implementation: what latency can you tolerate in a distributed workload, how do you maintain the integrity of a system of record when data gets replicated, to name a few. All these questions require a careful evaluation to determine the best approach for a particular IT organization and application requirements: public, private, hybrid cloud, or no cloud?
