Hybrid CloudPrivate CloudPublic Cloud
Multiple cloud strategies provide flexible optionsBalance cost and scale with security and control
• On premise
• Dedicated infrastructure
• Fixed cost
• Complete control
• Known security
• Off premise
• Shared infrastructure
• Low utility cost
• Elastic capacity
• On/off premise
• Low utility cost
• Self-service
• Fully elastic
• Trusted security
• Corporate control
Leverage infinite scale and flexibility across private and public clouds
Evolve the datacenter to be more cloud-like
Build an Amazon-style cloud for maximum flexibility
Maintain control and keep sensitive data on-premise
Extend the datacenter to gain unlimited capacity
Tap low-cost compute from service providers
Ensure network transparency
and security across clouds

Hybrid Cloud Use Cases I would like this one from enterprise cloud networking photo choices
• Capacity Extension○ Burst out separate clusters: dev/test, builds, batch
processing
• Geographical Coverage○ Public clouds offer rapid, broad coverage – private go
anywhere
• Price-to-Performance Ratio○ Purpose-built cloud
• Disaster Recovery○ Ramp up DR deployment from cold, warm, or hot spares
• IT Self-Service○ Simple IT vending machine can launch workloads anywhere
So how do you get there from here?

Built-in cloud providers… or add your own
IT is more secure, lower cost, easier to manage and “ready for anything”
Challenges & opportunities Build a cost-effective, private cloud to enable university researchers unlimited access to academic IT resources
SolutionCitrix CloudStack with XenServer enabling an integrated solution for provisioning, management and operation of IT resources from a unified portal
ResultReduced operational cost and power consumption per server by up to 20 percent
Provided an agile environment for consuming IT resources
Equipped faculty members with a cost-effective method to share, collaborate and store academic data
Citrix Confidential – Do Not Distribute
Challenges & opportunities Extremely complex IT services policies with highly distributed IT services requirements and strict security and compliance rules
SolutionLaunched private cloud based on Citrix CloudStack, XenServer and NetScaler
ResultImproved project support by moving provisioning process closer towards the customer
Increased efficiency and planning by delivering the service on-demand vs. over provisioning
Provides governance/consistency layer for apps
Improves quality of service by eliminating variance in applications and infrastructure
Citrix Confidential – Do Not Distribute
Challenges & opportunities Build private cloud for corporate research development projects which had high upfront expenses, slower setup times and lacked standardization across distributed sites
SolutionCitrix CloudStack for rapid provisioning of compute resources for development and test environments
ResultAchieved 21st century speed setting up new research projects with “instant-on” access to compute resources
Lowered administrative overhead with a “single pane of glass” for managing projects across several locations
Maximized existing investments with flexibility to integrate different networking, virtualization and management components
