- 14. The bottom line: Cloud in 2015 1. Public cloud adoption continues to be driven by the business, not IT • Empowered developers and business units are driving public cloud use • Majority of cloud platform apps are elastic “systems of engagement” • High developer adoption of IaaS; IaaS and PaaS markets merging 2. Top cloud challenges for 2015: • Reliable, fast network performance for cloud applications • Security and compliance (data sovereignty) concerns • Cost optimization and cloud service brokerage models - rightsourcing 3. Hybrid cloud is now, not the future • Most enterprise cloud apps will not be 100% in the public cloud • The focus must be on integration and data sharing across locations

- 16. Solve for the three C’s with a mixture of Data center solutions • Capacity – Public cloud solutions can provide the quickest method to serving short-term and peak-capacity needs. • Control – Private clouds can provide high security. • Costs – A mixture of public and private cloud solutions can meets the business needs at the lowest costs over time.
- 17. Public clouds provide 17 • Ability to quickly add capacity • New and alternate back up and disaster recovery options • Scale up to meet peak loads with minimal cost • Packaged apps such as SaaS and Desktop as a Service • Extending your virtual network
- 18. Private and internal Clouds provide 18 • Lowest costs for base loads • Most control of security and privacy • Greatest control over redundancy and uptime • Customized solutions • Highest management, responsibility and resources
- 19. Hybrid clouds Balance costs and benefits 19 • Netflix grew with a large public cloud than merged into hybrid solutions • ESPN uses public cloud solutions for extreme peak demands and private solutions to meet everyday customer demands • Development platforms on public clouds gain the benefits of a larger platform for short-term testing and converted to private for production – Security is a keystone decision between public and private platforms
- 20. Hybrid clouds Provide flexibility 20 • As workloads change, they can move between public and private platforms • Hybrid solutions can provide the lowest cost across all geographies • Hybrid solutions often balance lowest cost and flexibility • Hybrid solutions evolve to meet changing data and privacy laws and security requirements
- 21. When deploying clouds 21 • Create a solution for the application and how it will be utilized • Think about the network and how to achieve it at lowest cost • Determine how to Integrate all systems – Don’t rely only on SaaS for your back up solutions
- 22. Look for strong SLAs for your Mission-critical applications • Uptime is critical for these apps – Today, “always up” matters more than even a few years ago • Evaluate which applications are suitable for the cloud and protect them with adequate SLAs • Public cloud SLAs are often weak or nonexistent • Create the right architecture and right level of redundancy • Consider private cloud instead
- 23. Plan for the management of all Systems and applications 23 • Set up systems to remotely and centrally manage different infrastructure • Automate tasks, migrations, back ups and redundancies • Use same governance, compliance and security tools for internal and external cloud solutions
- 24. Security of data and network is critical • Utilize platforms to minimize security risks and breaches of essential data and operations • Think about which solution(s) will best prevent and recover from security breaches – Consider on-site data backed up off-site, and off-site data backed up to an on- and/or another off-site data center • Utilize solutions to meet country specific data sovereignty requirements
- 25. Plan for movement of big data 25 • Moving data into and out of cloud platforms and storing it in cloud platforms can be more costly • Open-IX enables additional peering and connectivity • 10 US Internet Exchange points are in DLR data centers. – Global, networked data centers allow anyone in a DLR data center to connect with nearly any cloud and network provider for lowest cost and latencies
- 26. Digital Realty cloud Connectivity options • Direct Connect • VPN • Ethernet
- 27. Global Alliances 27 • Build faster with less risk • Scale globally • Boost your skills • Connect

- 29. Summary • Consider combinations of public and private cloud solutions plus dedicated data centers to create comprehensive solutions that provide: – Scalability and the opportunity for growth – Higher performance and highest availability at the lowest total cost – More performance yet less complexity and a higher quality of service
