Vision

ACP has had satisfied customers in the DataCenter Business foryears. However, the recent challenges of topics such as DevOps oragile programming cannot be optimally covered. Therefore, theysought a solution that covers the cloud properties, but continuesto ensure data management in the country. Azure Stack is a perfect platform for this, guaranteeing self-service, pay per useand minimal delivery time!In the session we show the challenges on both technical and organizational side. We are happy to share these experiences ...

innovation vs. operations

Evolution of Service Providers

1. Azure Stack a small cloud for homeLow latancy - sure about locationPerfect Usage and Billing API!!!true cloud (no hypervisor) - Admin and Tenant Portal

2. Azure Stack just a subset of Azuresame Subset-Services but laterproduct group is working very hard, but the team is smaller :)

3. Perfect for Reseller's - but different to DataCenterfaster deployment than DataCenterorganisation challances -- Service Desk (learning)- PayPerUse (finance)- Service Reporting - integration to existing systems

Azure Stack

The Product itself - young - things to come

For many service providers a new business model

An early adopter projectLike Azure was in the beginning IaaS first - PaaS Services coming now more and more (AKS, OpenShift)

Connect to the product group and vendor!

To come (future) – some pain pointsWaiting for Backup APIBetter billing / Usage solutionsNetwork Integration to OnPrem

learnings / challanges

for the OEMs!!True experiance for the teams is still little

WE took HPE as our years long best partner for that project

Our internal work:DataCenter Automation for provisionbecause of API Access only, you realize a lot of manual steps in your process
