The Cloud customer-space?
“Cloud” Adoption is still low!
* By Cloud.com – Cloud Computing Outlook, 2011
Yet, the need is there…
* By EMC (2011) & Ernst & Young, Global Information Security Survey (2011)
Moving everything into the cloud might not always be the answer,
but leveraging on cloud through hybrid deployments is!
% of businesses that…
• 49% suffered from IT downtime
• 20% lost significant amounts of data
• 80% use, evaluate, plan use of Tablets
But if “Cloud” is fluffy and abstract…
Then “Hybrid Cloud” is beyond fluffy
Going Hybrid, Going Fluffy
Going Hybrid: Defined!... yet still a little fuzzy wuzzy
“Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private,
community or public) that remain unique entities but are bound
together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models”
(wikipedia, Aug 2012)
Going Hybrid : use-cases… a little less fuzzy wuzzy
Data Backup & archiving
Disaster Recovery (redundant IT)
Off-load (burst) peak capacity needs (to IaaS)
Use selected apps (via SaaS or on IaaS)
Hybrid Cloud: challenges
• Limited consistency public & private (lack of standards)
• Data gravity
• Network mobility
• Fear of the unknown (security & data location)
