Performance Requirement
Ensure the cloud provider can meet your specific performance requirements
Cloud Can Deliver High Application Performance
Table modified from Equinix
• 1K+ IOPS/VM for data-intensive apps
• Low latency direct connections
• Optimized hypervisor and storage layers
High Availability Systems in the Cloud
Traditional IT Stack
Coupling applications to infrastructure creates silos and
single points of failure
Virtualized Applications
Applications are abstracted from infrastructure, increasing
hardware redundancy
App App
Limited application portability and scaling potential
Flexible and extensible systems with no single point of failure

Securely Deliver Scalable IT Resources with Virtual Private Cloud
• “Virtual private” hybrid cloud model allows you to use secure connections and firewalls to securely scale your environment
• Fully compatible with your internal environment• Use hybrid cloud for: distributed workloads, private to public workload
management, and cloud bursting
1. Connection – What kind of connection and performance do you need? How many users will you have?
2. Software compatibility – Do you need single pane of glass management? What systems are you using internally?
3. Workloads – What kind of workloads do you want to run in a hybrid cloud? Do those workloads need monitoring, high SLAs, etc.?
4. Identity management – Will you use SAML integration or local accounts?
5. Security – What kind of security and compliance do you require? Will you be auditing datacenters and employees? Is your data transit secure?
Top 5 Considerations for Adopting Hybrid Cloud
• Point-to-point VPN• Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS)• Ethernet Exchange• Digital cross-connect
Types of Hybrid Cloud Connections
• “Shadow IT” apps leading to compliance and data security concerns
• Long IT support cycles to spin up new environments hampered business agility
Challenge
• Extend the network and AD environment to an Enterprise Cloud Provider
• Consolidate and standardize processes while retaining flexibility
Solution
• Improved IT and business agility: Deployment cycles reduced from weeks to days while maintaining visibility, compliance and security
Impact
Business Agility Case Study: F1000 Manufacturer
“With a designated enterprise cloud partner we are realizing our vision of IT as a service.” - Director, IT IaaS Solutions Delivery
• Frequent outages and data loss; Managing infrastructure distracted from innovation and serving customers
Challenge
• Run back office applications securely from the enterprise cloud
• 800+ Exchange mailboxes and 1MM+ forwarding addresses
• Voice over IP• Financial apps: custom ERP, custom billing• File serving and file sharing
Solution
• Increased business agility • Reduced operational complexity and costs
Impact
Back Office Case Study:
“Our entire business depends on the [cloud]. It pretty much runs everything for us, so that we don’t have to.” - Andy Evans, Founder and CTO, Obeo
