Why We Fail: How an architect learned to stop worrying and love the cloudAlex Jauch
Private cloud has been the “up and coming” trend for several years. You would think this would mean we’re all running clouds inside our firewalls by now. In reality, this hasn’t happened. Why? Where are all the clouds? All the technical skills that the IT folks need to get this done are normally in house or easily accessible to them. So you would think that private clouds would be super common. Turns out they are not. Only a very small minority of IT organizations have deployed successful internal Private Clouds. There are notable exceptions, but they’re just that, exceptions. Why is this so hard? Why can’t folks get this done in their sleep? In this book, we will explore the reasons why we fail and how to overcome these obstacles to success in our private cloud deployments.
This document provides an overview of managing security and delivering performance in the cloud. It discusses how businesses are increasingly moving applications and commercial apps to the cloud to enable innovation and cut costs. However, IT departments must manage services across private, public and hybrid cloud environments while ensuring security, performance and compliance. The document outlines CA Technologies' approach to planning, building, running, securing and assuring cloud services across the lifecycle to help customers enable innovation while managing complexity.

“Comes from the early days of the Internet where
we drew the network as a cloud… we didn’t care where the messages
went… the cloud hid it from us” – Kevin Marks, Google
First cloud around networking (TCP/IP
abstraction)
Second cloud around documents (WWW.com
data abstraction)
The emerging cloud abstracts infrastructure
complexities of servers, applications, data, and
heterogeneous platforms - (“muck” as Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos
calls it)

14. THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS
One Size Does not fit ALL - Use expert
guidance and formal committee to evaluate cloud
service(s) and providers prior to adoption
Cloud Solutions Not always Plug and Play -
When considering cost, be sure to factor in new
modes of risk as well as training and change
management
Processes need to Drive technology -
Existing business processes and governance
must be realigned to a new cloud environment

Editor's Notes
Bhavesh to introduce Webinar Series and its objectives.Where to find the information for future webinars – need CG/confidentCloud events sectionreadyLogisticsParticipants will be muted and online Questions will be take at end.Survey at end please suggest future topics for global experts.
Bhavesh to introduce Dr. StavinohaAnd thanks CG and EnCrisp for their support to do this much needed series
Q posed to Ken – Most executive we talk to are not even aware hat they are sing Cloud in their environment. They are also not aware they use it in personal lives like FB etc.So ken what do we want to cover today with an objective to help such busy people to become knowledgeable about basics of this Cloud phenomenon?Ken to discuss Agenda with that Q in mind keep it high level and emphasize non technical business focus
Bhavesh to discuss this slide and pass it on to Ken on next slideSo ken how do we define what this Cloud means, What is CC?
Bhavesh to ask Ken on his involvement with NIST and what NIST is?Bhavesh to lead in with Hotel Q and Ken to discuss Cloud in terms of Hotel analogy
BB – So most C-level folks probably don’t dive into much more details beyond SaaSPaas and Iaas, but interestingly what ISACA survey we recently did found is that many are aware of those concepts with Pas being least common and Saas being most commonly known.Most C level folks are visual so this is a good picture describing the overall structure at 20,000 foot level what do the main pieces mean Ken?
This is a very imp slide Ken seems like most businesses don’t understand this please discuss why C level folks need to understand this Who owns what is crucial point to discus in Cloud
Bhavesh to conclude previous slide so in other words Ken as you indicated, the role shifts from consumer to provider in terms of HOW one uses cloud.Now lets move on to some current trends on this topic
So now we understand what Cloud means but How is a C level person to know when not to drink the vendor KoolAid? What are the vendors saing and is it all true? Especially about Cost Svaings?
Bhavesh to lead here with point that as vendors point our Cost is NOT the leading influencing factors but Business USE cases and improvements are. Very interesting Cost in fact many time is quite higher in complex PaaS and IaaS initiatives.
Bhavesh to lead here and discuss role of ISACA etc. and continue Ken’s point that IT has been leading so far but Business has been lagging and that’s why we started ConfidentNow webinar series.
So ken in terms of Challenhges and Opportunitiues, when we talk to executives and help the come up with Cloud migration strategies, we find that most understand concept such as collaboration ,cost etc…..but but what about challenges?are big and they amount to non technical issues what are your thoughts on these things in red….
So Ken what are the three things you would like for our audience to Take Away and remember for trusted use of Cloud Computing?
Resources for future reference….
Time will tell with so many vendors touting simplicity if in fact things in business become simplified or more complicated….Lets focus on the main vision though that simplicity is best for a well governed process…Complexity drives
