The Cloud Deployment Conundrum Public Cloud • While networked virtualization has paved the way for private cloud, many business users and consumers have bypassed IT and proceeded directly to public cloud resources IT Distributed Virtualization Private Cloud Server Virtualization • Capital expense elimination • Increased flexibility (up and down) • Innovative application services • Consolidation • Capital expense • Flexibility and speed • Operational expense, automation • Less downtime • Self-serve agility • Standardization • IT as a business • Usage metering

It Depends on Who You Are RoW Viewpoint Enterprise IT Viewpoint BPaaS BPaaS SaaS The rest of the world sees the cloud as a consumer service platform Enterprise IT sees the cloud as an extension of its technology strategy Platform as a Service Public Cloud SaaS Public Cloud Private Cloud Infrastructure as a Service Platform as a Service Private Cloud Infrastructure as a Service

  9. Public Cloud • No capital cost • Total usage flexibility • Low barrier to entry Why Are Hybrid Clouds the Inevitable Future? Hybrid Cloud Private Cloud • Blend of capital and operational cost • Control • Economics • Architectural flexibility • Self-service • Service standardization • IT as a business • Usage-based metering

  12. Public Cloud Is Not ALWAYS the Most Cost-effective Option Public IaaS Capacity Meets Demand Opportunity Cost Or Opportunity Lost! Monthly Cost Private IaaS Wasted CapEx Cost is Capped but so is the Capacity! Work Being Done

  13. Economics May Favor Private Cloud For Inelastic Predictable Loads, So … "Buy the Base, Rent the Spike …" Intermittent Peaks Don't Warrant Overbuilding Economics Favor Fixed Capacity … Which Favors a Hybrid Model!
