2. Accelerating Business and IT Velocity
 In the wake of the “Great Recession,” businesses of all sizes are
reshaping themselves to better compete in an increasingly
intertwined and complex global economy.
 Thi i l d rethinking and reinventing new ways of engaging with existing
This includes thi ki d i ti f i ith i ti
customers, as well as carving out new business opportunities.
 Large businesses are waking up! Recent discussions with senior
business and IT leaders repeatedly emphasized both the power and the
threat of the Cloud – especially around the concept of accelerating
“Business Velocity” for firms developing / implementing in the Cloud.
 Key benefits cited include substantially faster time-to-market and time to profit.
time to market time-to-profit
 In this environment, IT is increasingly being asked not only to help
companies save money and facilitate internal process improvement, but
to better enable the business to grow with differentiated new products,
g p ,
services and offerings.
 Given this, it isn’t surprising that “IT Velocity” has replaced
“IT / Business Alignment” as the top concern for many CIOs.

4. Large Enterprise Customers – What are They Doing?
 CTO Gl b l I f
CTO, Global Information P id ( id range of verticall and h i t l markets)
ti Provider (wide f ti d horizontal k t )
– “Our challenge is to never build another data center. It is a very expensive proposition, and we’d
rather not have to do that.”
– “Our focus right now is mostly around the Cloud as a means to provide services internally”.
– “[The Cloud has] allowed us to drive a level of simplification . . . [and] helped us articulate the [high]
[The
cost of customization [to the business] that we haven’t been able to do in the past.
– “We are not yet comfortable with the idea of using Public Clouds to provide our services; we think
that our customers typically [will] want a throat to choke.”
 President Corporate Ops and Technology Financial Services
President, Technology,
– “A lot of the differentiation that we had inside [our company] is becoming meaningless now because
Cloud infrastructures are coalescing around a LAMP stack, or some version of it.”
– “[With] legacy . . . there will be a slow migration to technologies that are equivalent to Cloud and, as
Cloud continues to decrease in cost, the semi-private and public clouds will start to receive more
workloads in the 5-10 year timeframe.”
– “As it concerns the ‘new,’ people are going to implement completely in the Cloud or using Cloud-
like technologies from the get-go.”
 VP Global Strategy, Customer Communications Management Provider
– “The old way of doing product development has been very structured and routine and isn’t going to
work [in the Cloud].”
– “The whole concept of agility that is required to get new businesses up can be dealt with so much
easier in the Cloud, both in terms of the underlying technology and product development. It is way
easier to bootstrap a new offering by leveraging the inherent pay as you go pricing of the Cloud ”

7. Open Source in the Cloud EcoStack™
Open Source Roles & Influence Through 2014:
Cloud Business
Services and • Open source will provide low-cost building blocks, integrated
Operations within providers’ core technology stacks and solutions
- Enabling low-cost functionality at all layers while encouraging
low cost
independent development – and fragmentation
Cloud Business • LAMP Stack will be the de facto SaaS / Cloud provider
Solutions technology platform for Cloud services and providers
- Linux, Apache, MySQL,
Linux Apache MySQL PHP & Ruby
• Community-driven global innovation in technologies and
Cloud Platforms & applications will support Cloud provider evolution
Hubs • HOWEVER: Technology standards fragmentation, and open
community contribution models, will continue t challenge
it t ib ti d l ill ti to h ll
widespread standardization and profitability for open source
Cloud Infrastructure software developers and providers
Services - Any vendor domination is unlikely and impractical
- Cloud represents a tremendous opportunity for open source
developers and providers (globally)
Cloud Technologies - Opportunities will continue to follow core technology threads
instead of commercial vendor ecosystems
