What can we do?

Challenge Vendors
• Are they stable? How would we know?
• Who’s backing them financially?
• SAS70 certified?
• How is overall QoS measured?
• How will we communicate and escalate?
• Do SLAs really matter after our
reputation is shot and our customers
have moved to the competition?

Measure Performance

Insist on Availability

j alpha

Yes, On Demand is Demanding

j alpha

But, the Cloud Case is
Compelling in response
to Crisis and despite
Communication &
Culture Challenges,
so . . .
j alpha

Commence Cloud Construction

j alpha

But keep in mind . . .

j alpha

1. There’s a lot of hype; the cloud is not a panacea
2. XaaS is valuable, but not the only solution
3. There’s no need for radical change
4. Leverage Lessons Learned
a. Crisis presents opportunity
b. Culture is critical
c. Don’t underestimate Communication
5. Using Internet services in your architecture is wise
6. Heterogeneous environments are OK, common, & mitigate risk
7. You’ll likely end up with a hybrid cloud anyway
8. Insist on transparency
9. Governance & security strategies really do matter
10. Assess your business processes, culture, value of the cloud

The Cloud

CEO, CFO, CTO, and Timmy:

In the words of Elton John,
“The walls get higher every day
The barriers get in the way
But I see hope in every cloud”
More to come, when I pull my head out of the clouds . . .
