How can Cloud address your challenges and unique needsCloud complexity is the main issue reported by SME to adopt Cloud services
SMEs have their own specific needs
Which applications are most viable to go on Cloud?
Move all applications at once or step by step?
Can I use cloud to solve exponential data storage needs? How to provision access to Cloud?

What type of workloads would be optimal to Cloud?
Thumb rule to decide if your workload can move to Cloud
Flexible Mix and match resources between local infra and metered infra (scalable on demand)
Realistic Acknowledge that not all IT resources are meant to go on cloud today
Conservative Experience with flexible model helps get better understanding of what compute and data have to be kept local and cloud
• On & off workloads• Over provisioned
capacity is wasted• Time to market can be
cumbersome
• Successful services needs/ grow or scale
• Keeping up with growth is a big challenge
• Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand
• Sudden spike impacts performance
• Cant overprovision for extreme cases
• Service with micro seasonality trends
• Spikes due to periodic increased demand

Few success stories – Analysing the decision drivers for public Cloud use
Challenges Cloud strength
• Unpredictable traffic spikes• Need to scale exponentially• Need high level of automation
• Auto-scaling capability• Unlimited resources on demand• Pay for what you use• Right scale enables automation and eases operations
Scalable web apps
• Need extremely high processing power• Need to process huge workloads• Need to process workloads fast• Fluctuating utilisation cycle
• Auto-scaling on demand using metrics• Bring up large numbers of servers fast• Throw huge numbers of servers at the problem• Pay for what you use and when you need it
Batch processing
• Run a scaled down deployment replica• Use server templates to spin up deployments fast
anywhere• High level of automation for smoother failover
• Need infrastructure in a different location• Don’t want to pay for hardware and not use it• Need to be able to launch a new deployment
anywhere fast• Affordable disaster recovery

Case Study: Cloud technology runs their gaming business
The most important factor for the gaming business to succeed is the uptime of the website to be supported 24x7 and with guaranteed 99.9% uptime
Challenge
Cloud architecture that would run the gaming portal and all applications - servers that run the website and mobile version
SolutionHigh performance, availability and scalability on Cloud
Result
• Over 200,000 users come to the gaming site to play games on a daily basis. The need is basically to have infrastructure that can ensure high performance during peak traffic, incredible user experience, scalable and reliable network infrastructure that runs the website and mobile versions
• 60% reduction in TCO and substantial increase in ROI
• Pay-by-use utility computing experience and cost savings
• 100% uptime and higher user satisfaction
• During times when the portal run campaigns, the number of users logging into the portal are huge. Cloud helped to build capability to quickly ramp up compute infrastructure to ensure optimum performance

Address data explosion issues through Cloud
All flavours of storage your enterprises need is on the Cloud
Data stored in fixed-size ‘blocks’ in a rigid arrangement – ideal for enterprise databases
Data stored as ‘objects’ in scalable ‘buckets’ – ideal for unstructured big data, analytics and archiving
Data stored as ‘files’ in hierarchically nested ‘folders’ – ideal for document sharing
Block storage
Object storage
File storage
Structured data
Unstructured data
Segregate your data and choose the cost of your
storage

Key questions about Cloud
Questions about Cloud
When can my business decide to move to Cloud?• When starting a new company Cloud solutions offer an affordable start up with a monthly service fee.• When a server reach’s its end of life, Cloud solutions are may become more affordable than purchasing new equipment.• When your business needs to stabilise expenses, Cloud solutions have flat monthly cost with predictable cash flow
How to access the Cloud?• You can access the Cloud anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection and from almost any device. • There are applications that you can install to access from multiple other clouds or global locations

application it is very expensive or impossible to move or upgrade the technology.• By utilising the application on the virtualised server in the Cloud, it allows it to run efficiently on a new technology platform

email, calendar, and collaboration are great ways to get started.
Is the Cloud expensive?• Cloud solutions are priced according to usage.• The Cloud has a lower set up cost versus large technology investments for onsite servers• With public Cloud environment, businesses would be eliminating servers and applications, which eliminates the energy costs
to run the systems.

The last word
Data archiving and cold storage with tiered storage automation for frequently and infrequently accessed data will bring efficiencies
of scale in data storage cost
Proliferation of application into Cloud will shift
application being developed for the Cloud than for
desktops.
Using Cloud for disaster recovery purposes is fast gaining popularity as they
overcome the limitations of traditional recovery services
