What’s driving our clients to the Cloud
Strategic direction set by CxO – Moving IT to the cloud across the business
Demand for greater flexibility to meet varying workload demands
No spare capacity in current data centres
Re-focus IT staff to higher value work to better serve business needs
Compute demands are increasing but staffing budgets are not
IT expected to deliver greater agility to better serve needs of the business
Reduce capital expenditure and move from capx to opex IT model
New business models made possible by cloud adoption (ISV SaaS)
Low capital outlay test / dev environments for migrations, new developments
Deploying shared resources for collaboration, joint research, sub-contractors

Privacy & security concerns
Concerns about placing sensitive
data on a shared infrastructure
where it may be visible to others,
legal requirements, geographic
boundaries etc..

Security and data integrity
Dedicated, isolated environment
Each cluster isolated on private VLAN
Secure, encrypted tunnel
Secure, reliable file system
Decomissioned disks scrubbed with DoD approved methods

Privacy & security concerns
Lack of cost transparency
Concerns about escalating costs
and being locked into a “public
cloud only” approach without the
freedom to run applications
locally as needs evolve

Cost transparency & flexibility assured
Dial resources up and down as needed
Retain flexibility to deploy on-premise or in the cloud
Burst to cloud resources based on business policies
Reporting, usage-based accounting

Support
You are an expert in your
application, but you don’t want to
be an expert in cluster and
workload management. Also, you
may not have budget for
additional required infrastructure
