Enterprise Clouds With Canonical

Towards The Enterprise Cloud
James Governor, RedMonk

Why Cloud Computing?
Cost
No permission Needed
Elasticity/scalability
New Business Models
Sales “Reuse”
New features
Lower cost of maintenance
New business models
Users Vendors

Economics You Can't Compete With 1
Open Source

The Web

Simple

Concerns
Hype
Retraining - multi-thread dev, dynamic ops
Ending up paying more – rental vs mortgage
Fear Of Lost Data!
Lock-in
Legacy concrete
Virtualization turns out to be more important?

The Balancing Act/Walking The Line
Public
Simple
Private
Complex

Born Again
“ If you were born before 1975 you’d call this a mainframe. If you were born after, you’d call it the Cloud. Let’s call it a giant computer.” - Paul Herrod, CTO EMC

Linux Strengths
(Potential) cost of zero
Reliable,, known quantity “at scale,”
Transparent
Mature IT Management tooling
Virtualization
Existing, Linux applications
"We use [Linux] because it performs well on inexpensive, commodity hardware. That continues to be true and that continues to be a reason we use it." -- Anthony Golia, Executive Director of Enterprise Computing, Morgan Stanley

Linux Weaknesses
Focus on the kernel, not apps and UX
Perceptions and FUD
Virtualization Fragmentation

Some Recommendations
Enforce Simplicity
Start With AWS or Virtualisation
Adopt integrated dev/ops
Choose tech that supports on or off premise deployment
Start Small
Workload Triage

Conclusions
Market still in Flux
Cloud is not a product
Think ahead: new business models
Beware the Permission-based Web
