State of cloud in 2013: Forrester’s view

›Mainly driven by the business• Business often manages cloud itself

›Cloud is not just for dev and test anymore• Business-critical workloads moving to cloud

›40% using public IaaS by end of 2013

›Private cloud interest growing rapidly• 46% of companies planning one in 2013/2014

›Your hybrid future is here today


The business wants cloud

Whether IT delivers it or not

The business wants speed, self-service, and choice

Cloud’s elasticity and efficiency trump cost savings


Lead the way to cloud, or risk becoming sidelined

Cloud makes the business less dependent on internal IT59%

IT steps up to the plate

Central IT recognizes the opportunity and starts to act

Developing a cloud strategy is a top-3 priority

Your hybrid data center future is here today


Tear down the roadblocks to cloud

Complexity is the culprit. Automation is the way forward.


The roadblock: IT sees too much cloud complexity

“Shadow IT” is a major contributor to overall IT complexity25%


Supporting public cloud services adds to IT management complexity 54%

It will be difficult to provide the same level of management across both private and public cloud with existing tools and processes

62%


The way forward: Standardization and automation

Agree that their IT management processes are “Highly Automated”

Your Cloud Checklist

How to build and run the cloud your business wants

Learn from your peers


Public Cloud Provider Responsibilities

Cloud Consumer Responsibilities

Fill the gaps left by the cloud’s “uneven handshake”

› Physical infrastructure (facilities, racks, power, cabling)

› Abstracted services (load balancers, firewall, DB)

› Basic security and availability (servers, storage, network b/w)

› Basic monitoring

› Your application

› Service catalog (categories, capabilities, configurations, and dependencies)

› Architectural views (e.g., scalability, availability, recovery, data quality, and security)

› Governance (who has authority/responsibility to make changes and how)

› Life-cycle management (birth, growth, failure, and recovery)

› Enterprise integration (identity management, access control, etc.)

› Testing, monitoring, diagnosis, and verification
