(Presented by RightScale) With the increased use of cloud services, organizations are faced with finding the most efficient way to leverage existing IT infrastructure alongside cloud-based compute, storage, and networking resources. This has resulted in the rise of hybrid infrastructure so IT teams can deliver agility and performance with visibility and control. At RightScale, we’ve implemented some of the world’s largest hybrid IT deployments. In this session, we share implementation approaches, architecture design considerations, and steps for a successful hybrid IT model. This session covers: -How to develop a strategy and framework for a successful path to hybrid IT -How to prioritize applications for public cloud versus on-premises -How to manage multiple compute resource pools through a unified management framework -Implementation and continuous improvement of a hybrid IT environment Examples of enterprise hybrid IT implementations include cloudbursting, high availability, and disaster recovery.

5. What is Hybrid IT?
A combination of the following for capacity or capability:
Onpremises IT
Cloud
resources

6. Definitions and Terminology
On-Premises IT : Compute, storage, and network resources for a single
tenant that are accessed programmatically via an API endpoint.
Cloud Architecture: A similar set of multi-tenant resources provided by a
cloud vendor with access via an API endpoint.
Hybrid IT: An environment that spans your cloud provider as well as one or
more on-premises IT environments.
Multi-Cloud: An environment that spans two or more separate cloud
providers or regions.

10. Common Use Cases

11. Use Case - Cloudbursting
o An application deployment model in which an application runs in
your on-premises environment and bursts to a cloud provider
when the demand for computing capacity spikes.
o The advantage of a cloud bursting-enabled deployment is that
an organization only pays for extra compute resources when
they are needed.

12. Use Cases - Cloudbursting
LOAD BALANCERS

INTERNET
APP SERVERS
MASTER DATABASE
APP SERVERS
SLAVE DATABASE
OBJECT STORAGE
ON-PREMISES
CLOUD

13. Use Cases - Disaster Recovery
o Production environment in on-premises
o DR environment in cloud
o Most common configuration is the “Warm DR” scenario
• Replicating slave in the cloud
• All other servers in non-operational state

15. Use Cases – Data Residency Requirements
Choose AWS whenever possible, but in a limited
number of situations, you may have to resort to
on-premises storage.

24. Standardization through Automation
o Cloud builds are everywhere
o A myriad of machine image & workload
o Configuration language abundance
o Many deployment options
o How can IT support this?
“By 2016, more than 70% of large enterprises will choose a heterogeneous IT
operations management vendor (rather than an infrastructure vendor) for their cloud
management platform to unify cloud investments through a single manager-ofmanagers style of management and control.”*
