IDC sees a $65 billion market for industry-specific clouds in 2013, rising to $100 billion by 2016. Industry-specific clouds are PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS services tailored for specific industries that allow businesses within a vertical to connect to predefined applications, processes, and databases. The value is that businesses can leverage existing industry data and processes rather than defining everything within a generic cloud. The session will help determine whether industry-specific clouds make sense for a particular business by examining costs, value of agility, potential for process and service reuse, and how to calculate return on investment.

Moving Your IT to the Cloud An enterprise cloud strategy provides a framework for selecting cloud providers and balancing public and private cloud approaches. It transforms the data center into a private cloud for workloads that cannot move to public clouds due to regulatory or technical constraints. The strategy also integrates public and private clouds by developing a cloud management platform to track usage and workloads across clouds. Developing an enterprise cloud strategy requires determining which applications are suitable for each cloud option, addressing infrastructure decisions, and planning ongoing operations and management of the hybrid cloud environment.

This document discusses the benefits of transforming to a hybrid infrastructure. It argues that IT must become value creators by both containing costs and creating new services. It states that organizations should define their "right mix" of traditional IT, private cloud, and public cloud to accelerate app and service delivery. It outlines how Hewlett Packard Enterprise can help organizations define, power, and optimize their hybrid infrastructure through advisory services, application transformation, private and public cloud offerings, automation solutions, and managed services. The goal is to become a broker of services to enable continuous value creation.
The document discusses how cloud computing can provide new tools for innovation in quality assurance and testing. It provides an overview of cloud computing topologies and implications of testing in the cloud. Key benefits of cloud computing include flexible pricing models, elastic scaling, rapid provisioning, and increased efficiency. While some workloads are well-suited for cloud delivery, others may not be ready due to security, regulatory compliance, or customization needs. Case studies demonstrate significant cost savings and returns on investment from cloud adoption.
Nov. 2020 presentation on Insurtech, how cloud is enabling insurtech and cybersecurity for cloud and insurtech. Prepared by Henrique Centieiro for CII - Chartered Insurance Institute Hong Kong
Watch ReliaCloud and RedPath's presentation on the topic of "Developing Your Cloud Strategy". Cloud computing represents a major shift in the way that companies view infrastructure. The benefits of cloud computing are huge, but there are also some questions about security, location of data, and control that need to be addressed. During this seminar, we will provide a quick introduction to cloud computing with a focus on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). We will cover the five items you need to consider when putting together your cloud roadmap, including: •Introduction to IaaS •Developing Your Cloud Strategy •The IaaS Decision Process •Public vs. Private Clouds •Case Study
Integrated Cloud Framework: Security, Governance, Compliance, Content Application, and Service Management - Gartner Symposium ITXPO, October 25, 2011, Author Chad M. Lawler, Ph.D., Director, Consulting Services, Cloud Computing, U.S. Strategic Technology Solutions, Hitachi Consulting
This document summarizes a Gartner presentation on the future of cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS). The presentation discusses adopting a bimodal IT strategy of both traditional and agile modes of infrastructure to meet different business needs. It argues that cloud IaaS will not be a commodity and that providers will increasingly differentiate themselves. The future of infrastructure involves governing multi-cloud environments instead of trying to unify tooling and control resources. Recommendations include planning a bimodal strategy, choosing cloud providers strategically, taking advantage of cloud-native capabilities, and transforming the organization.
Cloud migration is the process of moving databases, applications, and IT processes from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud. It requires preparation and advance work but results in cost savings and flexibility. Businesses choose between strategies like rehosting (moving to cloud servers), refactoring (reusing code on a cloud platform), rewriting code, or replacing applications with cloud-based software. They must also decide between hybrid cloud (mixing on-premises and cloud infrastructure) or multicloud (using multiple public cloud providers). The main challenges are ensuring data integrity during transfer and migrating large databases, while maintaining continuous operations.
This document describes four examples of organizations that worked with RapidScale to improve their IT infrastructure and reduce costs.
