This is a two-part series on the second cloud computing strategies. In this section, the hybrid approach for IT managers and professionals in the dominant strategy is the adoption of cloud will see how the hybrid. In the first part, IT managers and professionals to learn what it takes to create an internal cloud, and why companies adopt an approach to cloud.
Supervalu Inc. throughout the country, more than 2,500 retail stores in operation. A large number of customer information and computer systems running on their list of priorities are to provide high-identity management and access. For now, a cloud or a special set of personal data for the management of internal cloud looks like the safest bet. There is no public identity management in the cloud, Phillip Black, for the supermarket chain based in Minneapolis, senior director of retail services SearchCIO.com identity, he said. In addition, a special building in a cloud, but seen as an appropriate method, a hybrid cloud examines regulatory concerns, will be cheaper than taking.
Black in San Diego with the fight, and when the cloud, and some experts call the transition to a hybrid service model using the catalysts of this year, Gartner Conference was one of many participants.
According to Gartner, a hybrid of some data in the cloud computing applications and enterprise (eg, applications and sensitive data, including integration with internal systems or other systems, such as the WHO many points) is what keeps the tunnels and provides custom applications and external data links and data can be found in the center of the cloud provider. SUPERVALU, for example, e-mail system can be managed and located in a public cloud provider, but the identity management and access, and data file will remain at the scene, said Black.
Management lifecycle to reduce costs and facilitate the use of public cloud, Black said. "We the physical server [email] or update software, and my people do not have to worry about receiving calls of support in the middle of the night. Would be responsible for ensuring that "the devil is in the details, however.
"We are moving off-site active directory and a non-VPN [] is strictly between us and the cloud provider goes?" Black asked. Company may use Active Directory for Microsoft Azure, but this is still very young. Cloud, and then directly to the company and do some Active Directory [back] to send this traffic through a central gateway that allows Microsoft Unified Access ago, he said. "It's beautiful, but we expect to see things shaking."
Hybrid IT to the Cloud
Private cloud or internal - with departments to pool resources and offer domestic demand - IT departments will be very confused with what is happening cloud services to BPO so-called hybrids, according to Gartner.
Hybrid consumes resources, and end users, internal and public clouds, some clouds, some will. Selection of critical business applications, "cost models, risk tolerance and are necessary to meet customer needs during the conference, including Gartner analyst Drue Reeves, was based on a number of factors.
"Point is the intermediary between the client and cloud services. All these services and facilitate the first and last line of defense to protect the digital assets of the company, "said Reeves.
Hybrid IT service center is not important, because he said Reeves. Major undertaking and best practice advice at home or move into vocational training on behalf of the company and the consumer cloud services providers the ability to control the use of IT expert told a public cloud.
So why bother moving model of a new service first? According to Reeves, a new model will be able to:
- Vet the best suppliers.
- Negotiate the best level of service.
- "It is the shadow." Limit
- Protect your digital assets, and responsibility.
- Compete with external service providers.
Such as Amazon.com Inc. 'capacity to provide services in the internal cloud is measured by the Gartner surveyed 17 commercial establishments, including the early adopters, the research company said.
I have a client computing Gartner, and Amazon.com is a virtual machine (VM) to support the hours of 20 cents per 12 cents per hour cost and the organization revealed that the IT business. However, backup, monitoring, infrastructure costs, virtualization software and software licenses and cost management, security, manageability and management of virtual machine is added to the workload of major events, according to Gartner, the gap between IT companies and the Amazon, was half a penny an hour.
The good news is these 17 companies in many officially Amazon.com’s said that did not make the same service levels. According to Kurt, a customer said, "You [service level] you're not."
How to get there from here
For this reason, CIOs need to change this hybrid IT, to begin with? Gartner leading provider of a cloud infrastructure, or outsourcing of certain aspects of an application for the service are advised to take the role of the agent. A self-service portal to provide valuable knowledge on the structure and a catalog of services - one of two basic components within cloud, the cloud of early adopters, he said. Cloud providers charge based on the use of computers since the methods they will be more clearly - at the end of an IOC may elect to have their own businesses.
Data and specific applications from companies such as regulatory compliance, for many reasons, because the hybrid approach does not allow you to live in a cloud, the judge, therefore, relates to Gartner. Despite this, basic services and applications and infrastructure to reduce costs and gain agility and scalability to accept the need to bring into the public domain.
Change does not sit well with some businesses have invested heavily in infrastructure. Steve Paynter, Louisville, Kentucky, senior technical architect vampires Health Inc., the company is very large share of health resources through a well-established infrastructure, he said. IT is the domestic and public cloud providers to offer a lower cost service allows you to compete with. More services to public cloud providers, the movement question, he said, his company loses critical mass? "We will not be profitable? On the road for 10 years, what we have with the outside, too, cloud providers will be more profitable? Slippery slope here," he said.
Dealer Stock Exchange, LLC, acting on the cloud service was easier in some sectors than others, Abdullah Haidar, CTO of the company finances automobile Troy, Michigan, he said. Since the company (established by the Automatic Data Processing Inc. [ADP] and Reynolds and Reynolds Co.), for example, not having to deal with the existing infrastructure, only two years.
Heydar foreign exchange dealers Open ERP, built from scratch rather than cloud providers of human resources and systems for customer relationship management. In addition, IP 8x8 Inc Citrix Systems Inc. through Service "S Web conferencing, ADP, and consolidated mail systems, telephone networks and voice and GoToMeeting Google Inc., e-mail, and uses a variety of telephony outsourced.
Systems do not make sense to go to the cloud? According to Haidar, including:
- Microsoft SharePoint, because it is too expensive to move to a cloud provider.
- Systems business of the company, content management, their systems and static data of a cloud provider, because it made no sense to pay the transportation costs.
- Call Center PBX been the basis of their analysis, but also cloud providers, telephony, systems integration, local and less expensive to maintain this system. "
