Executive Summary
Enterprises are increasingly moving to the cloud for greater agility and cost
efficiency. However, they are finding that running complex enterprise
applications requires much more than aonesize fits allapproach when they
move to a cloud infrastructure. Based on experiences, these large organizations
have multiple workloads with differing performance and security requirements.
Some applications demand a positive and consistent end-user experience for
production and higher-tier workloads, while other applications need quick access
to scalable resources, yet price sensitivity is higher because these workloads
carry lower risk.

How to Choose the Right Virtual Datacenter for Your Needs | WHITEPAPER
Service-based IT continues to grow in popularity, including
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offered via a public cloud. Theseservice providers offer the processing, storage, networks and other
fundamental computing resources while ensuring nearly constant
uptime and state-of-the-art security measures. More and more
enterprises are drawn to IaaS models, given their clear cost and
operational advantages.
According to a June 2012 report from IT research and advisory company
Gartner Inc., the Cloud System Infrastructure Services market is poised
for strong growth with a worldwide forecast to grow from an estimated
$4.3 billion in 2011 to $24.4 billion in 2016.1
Companies creating and managing their own datacenters are prone to
over-provisioning and building too much capacity based on projected
demands that are one, two and three years into the future. On the other
hand, we have found that organizations that leverage IaaS services
benefit from on-demand, adjustable resources. IT organizations using
IaaS public cloud virtual datacenters experience an unparalleled level of
speed and agility because their IaaS resources can quickly conform to
their changing market conditions and business requirements.
As a service provider, we know IaaS cost benefits also motivate SMBs
and Enterprises to move workloads to the cloud. Public cloud service
providers typically have large platforms segmented for customers,
providing economies of scale and cost savings through efficiency. In
addition, because the infrastructure resides off premise, companies can
adopt new technologies without having to worry about obsolete
equipment, upgrades and retrofits. Instead, they remain focused on
their core mission.
A virtual datacenter is a pool of cloud
infrastructure resources hosted in the
public cloud that includes compute,memory, storage and bandwidth
components. Service providers meet the
ever-changing needs of their customers
by making these resources available to
customer applications, business units and
projects, eliminating concerns with
physical capacity. Service providers that
offer virtual datacenters may offer a
single type of virtual datacenter or
multiple types. When the multiple types
offered are compatible with each other,
customers have the flexibility to match
different workload requirements with
different virtual datacenters and move
between those types.
Higher-tier virtual datacenters offer on-
demand resources, greater performance
and scalability and burstable capacity,and are the usual choice for production
workloads. Lower-tier virtual datacenters
also offer on-demand resources, yet are
typically designed for less critical
workloads with higher price sensitivity,
such as development and testing
environments.

Evaluating Service Providers
When evaluating IaaS service providers at the highest level, companies should
establish what kind of service relationship they want, how service-oriented a
potential company is, and whether the provider is knowledgeable and committed
enough to understand the business type and use case.
Investigating datacenter platforms is also important. For example, companies
virtualizing with Vmware may discover that a service provider does not offer
compatibility with the current VMware platform and tools they use or wish to use
for virtualization. They also may not offer to support future VMware product
releases, which could impact your future environment.
Every IaaS service is structured differently. Service providers vary in how they
interact with other datacenters and how they interact with a customersprivatedatacenter in a hybrid cloud model.
Some service providers offer the flexibility of different datacenter tiers, but the
tiers do not work together, prohibiting workload movement between
datacenters. When migration is impossible, vendor lock-in can result, making it
difficult for companies to align their IT services and applications to the optimal
virtual datacenter environment, especially as requirements change.
Customers in 2012 placed greater focus onapplications as they strived for increased agilitywhen compared with customers surveyed in 2011.They realized 25 percent faster application time tomarket, compared with the 2011 results. They alsoreported that agility is aided by cloud computing.In fact, the research shows that there is anopportunity cost for organizations that wait toolong to adopt cloud computing.

Common Uses for Virtual Datacenters
Different types of virtual datacenters, designed for specific concerns and uses, help enterprises meet their variableneeds in IT service delivery.
Emerging ApplicationsCompanies focused on emerging applications face many unknowns, yet must ensure that the underlying infrastructure will
support application delivery in the short and long terms. Therefore, datacenter flexibility and scalability and cloud server
burstability are imperative, particularly as they relate to providing a consistently positive end-user experience. A production
level virtual datacenter offers the flexibility needed to accommodate a broad range of both IT and end-user needs for even
the most robust, demanding new applications.
Development and TestingIT departments involved in the development and testing of client-facing applications also face unknowns, especially where
building the infrastructure and operational protocols to meet their exact needs is concerned. During development and testing
activities, IT executives face particular financial risk. They need to successfully predict the servers, computing power,networking and storage that will be needed at the development, testing and production stages. However, these applications
residing in a development platform may not be ready for production for many months, and ultimately may never go live.
Noteworthy is that a VMware Customer Benchmark study found that organizations that virtualized Test and Development
yielded acompelling175% return on their investment.2
For these organizations, the virtual datacenter is a great option. By working with a cloud service provider with flexible virtual
datacenter options, forward-thinking IT executives can leverage a different type of virtual datacenter based on how
development and testing cycles unfold, and their eventual outcomes.
Moving a Workload to ProductionWhen moving closer to production, virtual datacenter flexibility is again important. For instance, a development project may
initially require application replication for one small test team. Then closer to production, three instances of the application
may be needed for three different teams, temporarily requiring additional capacity. These activities are well suited to a pre-
production virtual datacenter offered at a lower cost than a production virtual datacenter. Closer to production, additional
bandwidth may be required for performance testing. With a desire to know exactly how the application will run in production,
the team may want to test it in the production virtual datacenter since that is the eventual target, but may only need that
environment for three weeks to conduct the performance testing. Upon successful testing, the application can easily be
staged and moved into a production virtual datacenter.

Application Upgrades
More datacenter flexibility is needed after running the application in production. Instead of using up production virtual
datacenter resources, IT teams can conduct functional testing of the new version by replicating the production platform
to the pre-production virtual datacenter, and then move it to the production virtual datacenter when it is ready to
release to customers.
Other Virtual Datacenter Uses
The flexibility of the virtual datacenter model makes it a viable, cost-effective model for many application environments
in addition to development and testing, production and upgrades. Total cost of ownership is a key consideration when
declining and aging applications can create usageand therefore resource requirementfluctuations. IT can
strategically move workloads between production and pre-production virtual datacenters to reduce costs and still meet
end-user requirements. In a traditional datacenter environment, companies build their datacenters for peak demand,
which can result in costly resources sitting idle for long periods of time. A company participating in a trade show can
temporarily leverage a production virtual datacenter to quickly deliver more capacity to accommodate a 50-prospect
demonstration environment. Another example, the conference room pilot, involves demonstrating an application to
prospective customers from a conference room. This is the perfect opportunity to leverage a pre-production VDC to
temporarily have an instance of the application running, without needing high-performance production levels.

MATCHING WORKLOADS TO VDC: IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
STEP 1:Assess Your Risk
Profile
Different risk profiles fordifferent applications, so youmust consider requirementsaround:
Security Performance Flexibility Contractual commitment IT governance
Ensure that you get the
appropriate level of valuefrom the VirtualDatacenter per your riskprofile.
STEP 2:Assess Resource
Predictability
Identify your flexibility needsbased on how predictableyour workload is. You needdifferent degrees of flexibility
for production vs. re-production workloads.
Identify how much capacityyou will need to be able toquickly access. For top-tierworkloads, you want the
right amount of capacityavailable when you need it.
STEP 3:Assess Resource
& ManagementNeeds
Analyze how you will need tobe able to distributecapacity. You may need theability to distribute capacityacross teams, departments,applications or projects.
Self-service or managedservice? For some businessunits and projects, you needself-service cloudmanagement capabilitieswhite for others you mayneed managed services toachieve optimal ROI.
STEP 3:Assess Cost
What services are you willingto pay for vs. do yourself?you need to be able toquickly make some changesyourself, while others mightbe better handled by thecloud provider. Identify abalance to prevent too muchservice for the business needand budget.
You should establish howmuch you are willing to payfor security, performance,flexibility and contractualcommitment levels.
Which Virtual Datacenteris Right for WhichWorkload?
Few cloud service providers offer companies achoice of multiple types of virtual datacenters
to serve the needs of different workloads and
different business requirements. However, the
ability to match workloads to virtual
datacenters based on specific characteristics
can drastically increase efficiencies. To choose
the right virtual datacenter for the right
workload, companies must carefully assess
resource and cost demands for each workload
they are considering moving to the cloud.
To optimize your IT budget, it is important
to have the flexibility to change your mindand move workloads around, out to the
cloud to the appropriate platform and back
if needed. Understand what types ofchanges and movements you can makewith your resources once they are in a
virtual datacenter.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW, 2011
Benefits of a Virtual Datacenter
Increase IT responsiveness.By managing efficient pools of IT resources andlayering elements of automation, a virtual infrastructure solution enables servicerequests to be fulfilled much easier and more rapidly in response to establishingnew and retiring old applications.
Improve utilization and lower capital spending.Individually, initial investmentsin technologies such as server virtualization and efficient, shared storage candramatically reduce the number of servers and the storage capacity needed in adatacenter environment. This reduction in capital spending is further amplified in avirtual infrastructure solution through the power of an efficient, shared storagesolution that is pretested and integrated with virtualized servers and tuned to workefficiently with specific applications under a common management umbrella.
Ease management and move to more predictable operational spending.The
common management umbrella, enhanced with automation and multi-tenancyenabled by orchestration management software, can greatly reduce the processesand strains on resources to manage a complex, dynamic IT environment.
Minimize power and cooling. Improvements in utilization combined with thebenefits of automation capabilities spanning the virtual infrastructure environmentthat enable a more holistic level of control over resources will help minimize energyrequirements.
Reduce risk.The risk of IT not being able to support the business goals of anorganization is greatly reduced as the task of maintaining and managing discrete IT
components is inherently more complicated. Simplified and automated managementof a virtualized infrastructure solution affords efficient and rapid recovery fromserver or application failure. In addition, the risk associated with maintaining avirtual infrastructure solution is reduced given the pretested and integratedsolutions approach.
Enables GREEN computing- Virtualization is a cornerstone technology for makingdatacenters more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. With virtualization,you can consolidate applications and services now running on multiple servers ontoone or a few modern, energy-sparing servers, and you can configure them to run at
much higher utilization rates.

Benefits of Leveraging Multiple VirtualDatacenters
Companies desiring a more agile approach to business operations and IT
service delivery can turn to virtual datacenters hosted in the public cloud forflexible infrastructure resources and cloud services. Leveraging multiple
virtual datacenters increases the flexibility, cost-efficiency and agility that
organizations can realize from adopting a public cloud strategy:
Resource efficiency Leverage one public cloud providers platformwith multiple virtual datacenter options rather than more than oneplatform, and mix and match applications to the most appropriate virtualdatacenter
Centralized control
Deploy applications for multiple business units inthe same virtual datacenter environment, empower groups with self-service capabilities, and equip IT managers with role-based access
Distributed capacity Assign individualized infrastructure resourcesand security to different application teams and business units, enable eachgroup to have its own virtual datacenter environment without increasing ITmanagement complexity, and offload simple operations such as virtualmachine creation and control to individual departments
Flexible capacity and bursting Leverage flexible capacity and
bursting month after month to accommodate changing user demands
Cost-effective backup and recovery Back up to a pre-productionsite to reduce costs while effectively protecting your productionenvironment with a sound backup and recovery plan
Positive end-user experience Provide a more consistent end-userexperience by running the right workloads in the right virtual datacenter,which enables both cost efficiency and the performance needed formission-critical applications
Our Approach toVirtual Datacenters
In addition to the more common
features of virtual datacenters, we
offer capabilities and services that
offer our customers additional
advantage. Fulcolo.nets Virtual
Datacenters are pools of resources.
You can allocate and reallocate the
resource components, memory,
storage, bandwidth and compute)
as needed rather than building a
new virtual datacenter with the
desired resource configuration. For
instance, you can add memory to
an individual server, in contrast to
other service providers where you
would have to invest in another,
larger server to get the memory
allocation needed. You can also mixand match your workloads to the
optimal virtual datacenter type.
Fulcolo.nets Virtual Datacenters
offer different virtual datacenter
types, VMware compatibility, robust
