Presentation Notes
Determine Where Your Apps Should Live in a Multi-cloud World How do you reduce costs in existing apps to free up budget for investing in new cloud-native apps? By profiling apps and determining which to retire, modernize, or retire, as well as which are suitable for cloud; and determining the best cloud model for your applications. Our data-driven approach to application profiling is focused on an automated assessment of 5 key dimensions of your business applications: cost, value, technical, security, and functionality. Learn how this approach delivers results up to 50% faster than traditional models and requires 75% fewer customer resources.
Multi-cloud
Leverages cloud endpoints with dissimilar core technology
Migration from cloud to cloud more difficult & requires VM conversion
Hybrid Cloud
Endpoints leverage the same core technologyon and off prem
Migration from cloud to cloud does not require VM conversion
Architecture Drives Cloud Selection
Cloud Native = Scale out app resiliency handled in code/architecture
Cloud Tolerant = Traditional in appearance with ample redundancy so that cloud architectures can service needs
Traditional = Scale up monolithic apps dependent on infrastructure to provide availability
Why Multi-cloud? You can use multiple technologies
Presenter
Presentation Notes
We’re seeing most of the leading organizations going to a multi-cloud model. Why? Let's look at the differences between hybrid and multi-cloud. Hybrid Cloud endpoints leverage the SAME core technology on and off prem. So migration from cloud to cloud does not require VM conversion. Multi Cloud leverages cloud endpoints with DISSIMILAR core technology. So migration from cloud to cloud is more difficult and requires VM conversion. The architecture you choose will drive the decision of which of these models are best for you Starting from the bottom, Traditional infrastructure is a scale up model. These monolithic applications are usually dependent upon infrastructure to provide availability A Cloud Tolerant architecture looks and feels like traditional infrastructure, but adds with ample redundancy so that cloud architectures can service greater needs A Cloud-native architecture delivers scale Out Application Resiliency because it is handled in code/architecture

According to this recent State of the Cloud report by Rightscale the vast majority of enterprises plan on heavily leveraging multiple cloud infrastructure services to meet their needs. In 2016 an enterprise is leveraging an average of six cloud services, three public and three private according to this report. In 2017 IT will be a service provider of cloud services offering a portfolio of services based on price, and capability to support he application workload. We believe most cloud service requirements must consider two primary requirements.
• Invest in & prioritize the most relevant applicationsFirst…Align Investments with Business Goals
“It’s way too expensive”
“It doesn’t meet my business needs”
• Redundant applications drive overinvestment
• Expensive legacy platforms with high internal support and maintenance costs
• Difficult to align investment with business priorities and urgent operational concerns
• Lack of business agility
• Performance / availability issues
• Overinvestment in traditional apps impedes ability to innovate• No clear path to take advantage of better utility pricing models (e.g., cloud)• Redundancy increases as business drifts away and starts building its own IT
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Why is application alignment important to the business? When IT organizations fail to align with the business on application investment decisions, you tend to hear several types of complaints. First, you’ll hear from the business that the application doesn’t meet business needs. They’ll complain about lack of agility and IT responsiveness, or performance and availability problems, but these complaints may mask an underlying disconnect on investment priorities with the business. Another common complaint is that it’s way too expensive. Many production environments are based physical infrastructure sized for peak load, or even virtual infrastructure that has been over-engineered and largely sits there idling along. It’s sometimes expensive because 10 or 15 years ago corporate IT picked a standard Web server technology like WebLogic or Websphere, have built operational process around it, and have stuck with it ever since. Sure, back then these were best-in-class for the enterprise. But now things have changed. You probably don’t need all those bells and whistles. You probably could use a capable, but cheaper open source product. In either case, overinvestment in the wrong priorities means that the business is frustrated because they see insufficient IT investment in new business initiatives, and they may start to create their own IT solutions, often leveraging today’s agile cloud offerings.
Applications in Multi-cloud World: Challenges• Where are the ‘quick win’ opportunities to reduce cost
and improve agility in our application portfolio?
• What applications should we move to the Cloud? Is public, private or hybrid the best option?
• What legacy applications should be rewritten for Cloud Native architectures and PaaS?
• Which apps should we migrate to a DevOps operating model?
• What are the interdependencies between apps that might impact cloud migration?
• What is the business value (ROI, TCO, Revenue impact, etc.) of moving to the cloud?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Here are some of the common challenges that IT organizations face when looking to begin to align with the business. IT is typically just keeping up with demands to run traditional applications. You will need to identify some quick win opportunities to reduce cost and improve agility with your traditional application portfolio. Moving applications to the cloud may appear to be straightforward, however, there are many considerations to place your application on the right cloud option. What applications should be rewritten to take advantage of cloud native architectures and Platform as a Service? Then there is question of application development and delivery, and determining which teams would benefit from implementing a DevOps operating model. It is difficult to determine the best portfolio alignment with which IT delivery model. Let’s start addressing these challenges.

Presentation Notes
One of the most common questions we hear from IT executives is “how do I achieve this transformation?” We see several important initiatives that IT organizations should undertake to achieve each of these transformations. For application transformation, we see three key initiatives: First, modernize the application portfolio. This means finding the optimal cloud delivery model for existing applications Second, enable new applications to take advantage of what IDC calls “the third platform” of lighter-weight apps optimized for mobile platforms, social media and the cloud Finally, upgrade the end user experience to take advantage of mobile delivery and enterprise AppStores. For infrastructure transformation, we see two key initiatives: First, maximize infrastructure standardization, virtualization and consolidation. While many organizations are 80% virtualized already, we believe there’s still value to be gained by pushing this further. Second, transition to software-defined infrastructure. EMC, in close alignment with VMware, is extending the agility benefits of server virtualization to storage and networking infrastructure technologies. For operating model transformation, we see three key initiatives: First, package IT for business consumption by presenting IT services to the business in portals with defined service levels and transparent costs Second, transform people and processes for IT as a service to streamline process workflows, automate routine tasks and empower IT for new roles of service management Finally, re-engineer IT financial management for cloud, to make IT service costs transparent to the business and to improve capacity planning and foster consumption with incentive pricing

Dell EMC’s Application Transformation Framework enables us to help you fully understand your application portfolio and development environment. There are multiple points of entry depending on where you are on your transformational journey. If you haven’t evaluated the backlog of traditional applications, evaluating each application to determine the best disposition is a foundational step. We can help a customer determine the end state of applications whether they are best modernized, migrated, retired or simply retained and build the business case for the end state and appropriate target platform of each application. 1) And once all of these analyses are complete you have a simple roadmap to follow with clear definitions of business impact, relationships and costs. 2) And once you have your plan in place Dell EMC offers a wide range of tools provided by Dell EMC to ensure that your replatforming, migrations and retirements are efficient and worry-free 3) And as you move into a more cloud-native architecture you’ll be able to lay new applications on top of your existing ones, rapidly and without worry

Presentation Notes
Application Profiling Services from Dell EMC help you objectively assess what is most important so you can create a roadmap toward your digital transformation. It includes these seven components. When the process is complete, you’ll have a definitive cost and nee-based roadmap to your next stage of efficiency. Our patented application profiling methodology consists of 4 phases. We begin with the discovery phase where we perform Business Classification to prioritize align and rationalize the application portfolio and apply any applicable custom profiling. We can then begin the analysis phase where we perform the critical application disposition to determine the best investment path and perform affinity mapping. Cloud Suitability allows us to highlight transportability and map out the optional cloud platform for each application. Cloud Native assessment identifies candidates for application modernization by reviewing 12 readiness factors using non-intrusive data collection. Financial analysis and portfolio discovery to flesh out any app to app interdependencies, to mitigate risks, identify logical bundling and optimization that can occur. In the roadmap phase we consider a comprehensive business case that includes functional, financial, technology and actions to achieve your objectives. Program Management spans the entire project and is critical to cloud migration success. This includes: Building out a project charter, work plan, and steering committee to document weekly project status and communication plan Establishing quality assurance and change control processes Integrating real-time communications via our automated toolsets, which provide executive and planning dashboards with phase-by-phase tracking Assess cloud suitability Discovery and Analysis phase we: Begin by gathering information on the client’s current environment utilizing existing CMDBs and physical inventories Conduct interviews and workshops with the client’s stakeholders to gather information on their current and goal state environments Analyze application and infrastructure dependencies with advanced toolsets and establish bundling criteria Define a strategy and roadmap for migration, including bundles and move events, and develop an optimal migration schedule based on the bundles, risk analysis and resource availability The Planning phase includes: Pre-migration activities such as adding new capacity to target data center, installing applications, data replication Definition of testing plans based on app criticality and complexity Infrastructure mapping, including server from/to, network from/to, database from/to, storage from/to, data center from/to Automated creation of runbooks Table top reviews to assess app and infrastructure bundles, task owners/durations/handoffs, and contingency plans Execution of migration includes: Implementation of move events and migration schedule Continual tracking of migration progress and step completion Automated creation of final runbooks Through the utilization of automated tools, we are able to eliminate nearly 98% of human error and virtually eradicate sequencing and dependency errors. We are also able to shorten the discovery phase from 4-6 months to around 4-6 weeks, and reduce project elapsed times by up to 50%. We can execute migrations in the shortest amount of time possible with the greatest efficiency and lowest risk.

Presentation Notes
Let’s take a closer look at the disposition categories. Starting in the upper right quadrant, those applications which have high value both to the business and IT are targets for strategic investment, which means they should receive a disproportionately strong investment backing. In the opposite lower-left hand corner are those applications which are no longer valuable either to the business or to IT. These applications should be retired so that they will no longer drain the IT budget and deprive more valuable applications of investment. In the lower right hand corner are applications which are important to the business but which are not valuable to IT, typically because they are implemented with outdated technologies that are costly to support. These applications should be modernized to make them more cost-effective and easier for IT to support. In the upper left hand corner are applications which IT finds valuable but the business does not. In this scenario, the application should be retained in the portfolio as it is presumably simple for IT to support, but it should not be the target of further investment, as these dollars should be reserved for the more strategically important applications in the upper right hand quadrant.
Cloud Suitability: Which is the Best Model?
• Latency extremely sensitive, e.g., real-time or database
• High, sustained I/O rates• Up to 6 data sources• High integration with
on-prem apps
• Some latency can be tolerated• Moderate to low I/O rates• Up to 3 data sources

Presenter
Presentation Notes
When considering which cloud to use, cake sure you understand the criteria that affects how good a fit an app is. It’s not always a binary answer to each of the categories. Sometimes a single criterion can drive the decision from public to private. Sometimes the combination of answers (while not necessarily public cloud-busters individually) will drive placement. Let’s talk about a simple example: if all conditions are equal for either public or private, but the you are trying to drive costs into capital, you would lean toward a private cloud. If you are trying to drive costs into operating expense, then you would be more inclined to move to a public model. Let’s talk about some of the individual criterion. You have to be prepared to answer these questions: Is the app highly sensitive to latency? Is it real-time? Can it tolerate some time lapse while it waits for the network to get a message across? Does the app have high, sustained I/O rates? It probably WILL run in a public cloud, but how expensive will that be? You can read and write all you want in your own private cloud and no one is going to charge you a cent extra. But, the public cloud provider is not quite so flexible. How often does the app interact with other systems or other apps? Where are those systems located? How many systems or data sources are in play? Locations and frequency of interactions between the app and external systems will affect the complexity of moving the app. What about SLAs? A typical public cloud provider offers 99.95% availability. While complete system downtime is rare, an app could be down because one or more services that the app uses are down – remember those 25 services that the oil and gas data lake app was using? If the service level of one of those falls below 99.95%, what do they get? Service credits. If the business cannot take downtime on the app they are thinking of moving to a public cloud, it’s probably not a good fit. What about data loss? If your need zero data loss and <1 hour RTO. Then you may not want to pay what the public cloud provider wants to guarantee that. But suppose did a contract for that, and there was a failure under that agreement? What damages can your business recover? And will you get Service credits? One last thing to remember…not all public clouds meet the ISO certification required if your customer’s app processes PII – personally identifiable information.

When we begin working with you to build a multi-cloud strategy for your applications, we start by understanding your business goals so that we can align investments to maximize the impact and return on investment for your organization. How do we achieve this? We perform and objective and unbiased review of your application environment. We identify cost savings, which can fall into two major categories: either reducing server and database sprawl or recognizing automation and optimization opportunities for your applications. We define a roadmap to cloud, identifying the optimal path, whether with Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Office 365, Microsoft Azure, Amazon, Google or other cloud platform for your applications. All the while, we are ensuring that we mitigate risk by identifying low business value & low IT value applications that can be EOL’d. All of these actions will increase the productivity and user experience for the organization.
