Making Money in the Cloud

This document discusses HPE Flexible Capacity, a pay-per-use IT infrastructure service. It offers the flexibility of public cloud with the control and security of on-premises IT. Customers pay only for the server, storage, and networking capacity they actually consume each month, avoiding overprovisioning. This provides cost optimization, risk mitigation, and faster time to value compared to traditional capital expenditure models. The document highlights customer benefits and testimonials, and how Flexible Capacity addresses challenges of unpredictable growth, budgeting, and rapid provisioning of resources.

The document summarizes a presentation about driving cloud strategy and planning. It discusses: 1) How enterprise architects must drive cloud strategy and planning to connect business strategy to implementation through cloud. 2) An end-to-end cloud strategy and planning framework that takes a business value driven methodology to enable selection of the right cloud investments. 3) How the framework embraces and extends proven cloud practices, provides tools and guidance, and is based on real-world customer engagements.

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.

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.

Flexible growth, cost control, and mobility are just a few of the many great reasons to move to the cloud. However, the decision remains incredibly complex, requiring businesses to ensure they have and understand the information necessary to make an effective choice. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how to develop a holistic cloud strategy for small-to-mid-sized businesses. Learn how to make a strategic move to the cloud by considering the hidden costs and common gotchas, appropriate infrastructure (from system inventory to connectivity), the right cloud solution, timing and contract review, and building the right team.

The document discusses how digital transformation (DX) of a company's LAN infrastructure can be achieved through a Network as a Service (NaaS) model. Some key benefits of the NaaS model include minimizing costs and complexity, ensuring network uptime, future-proofing the network, and gaining insights through analytics. The document provides examples of how NaaS can enhance security, visibility, and support compliance for a large company. It emphasizes that a successful DX journey requires more than just technology changes, including executive alignment, dedicated teams, and clear change management.

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.

IT as a Service (ITaaS) delivers on-demand IT resources and applications to users through a cloud services brokerage platform. It provides self-service access to applications, desktops, and infrastructure from any device. ITaaS gives users a consumer-like experience while providing IT control over resources and compliance. Transitioning to an ITaaS model transforms infrastructure and applications into cloud services that can be easily accessed and managed.

This document discusses how to protect the digital enterprise. It notes that 84% of breaches are due to application vulnerabilities, but only 6% of security budgets go to application security. The threat landscape is increasing with more mobile apps containing critical vulnerabilities and older exploited vulnerabilities. The digital enterprise needs a new style of protection that safeguards critical digital assets like users, applications, and data across locations and devices. HPE recommends designing a cyber resilient environment, building protection into the enterprise fabric, rapidly detecting and managing breaches, and executing flawless recoveries to protect the digital enterprise. HPE has global security operations and recovery centers and offers security technologies, consulting, and managed services to support security operations.

This document discusses three use cases for hybrid cloud: 1) Using a virtual cloud service for the database cluster and web/application tiers on bare-metal servers for performance, while gaining cloud benefits. 2) Using the cloud for disaster recovery and business continuity by replicating on-premises systems and testing failover without disruption. 3) Addressing scaling issues by moving some application tiers to the cloud without requiring full redesign, allowing scaling without being fully prepared. Hybrid cloud offers organizations the flexibility of physical and cloud infrastructure.
