RETURN ON
INVESTMENT
WHY BUSINESS ISMOVING TO THE CLOUD
Cloud offers businesses a variety of ways to achieve a positive
return on investment (ROI): Shifting capital to operational
expenses, paying only for actual consumption and scaling to
meet demand enables overall savings and lower total cost of
ownership (TCO).
However, a 2013 Gartner survey of more than 2,000 CIOs
revealed that enterprises realize only 43% of the business
potential of technologies, including cloud computing.
To get the most out of the cloud, smart organizations consult a
provider with the expertise necessary to provide a roadmap for
achieving ROI and TCO goals.
68%of IT managers
see greater migration
to the cloud asbringing equal or
better total cost of
ownership (TCO) to the
organization.

ASKINGTHE RIGHTQUESTIONS
WHAT MAKES AGREAT MIGRATION?
While the benefits of cloud adoption are clear, its also an incredibly complex
undertaking. As Gartner Analyst Richard Watson points out, a cloud migration is
not a silver bullet: All require architects to understand application migration from
multiple perspectives and criteria
Before starting a migration plan, consider these critical questions:
What business challenges do you want to address through cloud computing?
What are your companys needs for control, security and accountability?
How will you integrate cloud services with the network?
What are your users doing and what are their needs?
How are you going to use your applications?
What are your performance metrics?
The first step is working with a partner to develop
a plan that gets to the heart of your business.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT MIGRATION?
Most organizations sort their applications into buckets based on security, availability and
SLA considerations. Heres what most businesses are moving.
59% of applications will beupgraded or replaced. More than
half of those will move to the publiccloud.
Gartner, User Survey Analysis: Using Cloud
Services for Mission-Critical Applications
85% of enterprises plan to hostinternal back-office applications
(accounting, ERP, supply chainmanagement, etc.) on
cloud platforms.
Forrester, Private Clouds Will Use
Hybrid Infrastructure
Executives predict that by 2015,70% to 75% of their applications will
be hosted in cloud environments thatwill enable savings of 30% to 40%compared with current platforms.

ONE CLOUDDOES NOT
FIT ALL
WHAT MAKES AGREAT MIGRATION?
Many cloud experts recommend hybrid configurations because
they offer the best of both private and public clouds, balancing
security needs with mission-critical applications that require
24 x 7 uptime.
For example, a company might use public cloud for web, search
engines and application servers, but use private cloud for their
database servers.
Experts agree with this approach. Robert Jenkins at CloudSigma
predicts 2014 will be the year of the hybrid cloud solutionand
hes not alone. Gartner predicts, Nearly half of large enterprises
will have hybrid cloud deployments by the end of 2017.
The clear path to the cloud is hybrid.

THE RIGHTAPPROACH
WHAT MAKES A GREATMIGRATION?
With the amount of complexity in a cloud deployment, theres no
template to follow. Every project is unique because every business
is different.
While its tempting to jump in and get started with migration, the
smarter approach is to begin with a thorough assessment of current
technology, legacy applications and business needs. A deliberate,
thoughtful process makes your migration go more smoothly.
A stair-step approach often works best.

THE TRUTH
ABOUT CLOUDSECURITYWhile the vast majority of organizations have deployed cloud computing in some
form, those that dont make the move to cloud make that choice because of security.
Every survey conducted over the past two years reflects that security is the
primary cloud adoption concern.

ITS BETTER
THAN YOUTHINK
THE TRUTH ABOUTCLOUD SECURITY
In many cases, the physical security and data protection of a cloud
services provider is better than your own on-premises solution.
With a hosted cloud solution, you still decide who has control and
access, but you can spend less time managing and monitoring the
network. That gives you the freedomand peace of mindto focus
on your core business.
No matter what, good security begins with a deeper conversation
about your business needs with your provider.
