The Personas Affecting Your Cloud Choices
the
ON-PREMISE CLOUD
approach
the
HYBRID CLOUD
approach
the
PUBLIC CLOUD
approach

Consideration: Security and Compliance
66% of IT Executives cite security and
application isolation as a top
concern when looking at using the
public cloud
Computerworld
Cloud Survey
2014

Consideration: Security and Compliance
Our data access is
restricted based on
geopolitical boundaries. I
can’t use the public cloud.
Maybe we can put
development and test
environments in the cloud,
and prove the concept for
our more complex
systems.
I know cloud providers
have security as a top
priority, so our business
can focus on value add.

Consideration: Security & Compliance
How WebLogic and CAF Keep Your Data Safe
 Federal, national and global security standards
compliant
 Certified through recognized security bodies
 Oracle Cloud: we manage, On-premise: you do
 Industry and governmental-specific data centers
 Security software and Identity Management
 Role management, virtual databases, encryption
 All included in Oracle Cloud, on-premise you
manage
 On-premise sometimes necessitated by industry
of geography

Consideration: Infrastructure Ownership
88% of IT Executives believe cloud solutions
provide a better utilization of their
resources, lowering their TCO.
Computerworld
Cloud Survey
2014

Consideration: IT Architecture Ownership
I need granular control over
our hardware and software
components. My mission-critical
apps require it.
We DO own a lot of our
technology stack. But I
wonder if it would save
money to offload some
infrastructure or
software costs.
Our business value
isn’t in IT. We need to
operate lean and agile,
so cloud services are
the way to go for us.

Consideration: IT Architecture Ownership
Tiered Infrastructure Management Options for Maximum Flexibility
Conventional IT IaaS PaaS Managed PaaS
INVESTMENT CHOICE

Consideration: Availability
50% of apps in the cloud are for core
business and sales. Always-on
availability of a cloud solution is now
mission-critical.
Computerworld
Cloud Survey
2014

Consideration: High Availability/SLAs
I want to keep our SLA
level at 99.999% or higher.
With a public cloud, I can’t
influence that to my
satisfaction.
Can we use a cloud
provider to achieve more
efficient redundancy
across our many data
centers?
Many cloud providers
offer 99.95% or higher
availability. That’s “good
enough” for our business,
and we can’t afford to
invest further.

Consideration: Availability/Service Level Agreements
Keeping Your Cloud Apps and Infrastructure Always-On

On-premise, availability is up to your
needs and investment
On-premise you can control
redundancy, policies, etc.
Most cloud providers: 99.95% up
 Engineered Systems (soon) goal is
99.999%
We use what you would for on-premise

Bottom Line: There is No “Cookie Cutter” Answer
Ultimately, you’ll likely have a little of everything
