ServiceMesh's Dave Roberts presented for Focus webinars, June 27, 2011.
Cloud computing is revolutionizing the IT market. But if you aren't careful, you're cloud project can end in disaster. This presentation gathers some lessons learned by the early adopters, so you can avoid their mistakes and double-down on their successes.
The Lost World of Problem Management (2009)Karen Ferris
Despite best practice guidance such as ITIL being around since the late 1980's, Problem Management is still a process that is eluding many organisations. This presentation explores why and how to overcome the challenge being faced by so many.
It is widely acknowledged that the IT function is comprised of technology and process silos and that this environment needs to change. For example, focusing on application performance requires that network and security operations work closely together. The deployment of IP Telephony is causing voice and network operations to converge, and the deployment of metropolitan Ethernet is requiring LAN and WAN groups to merge. Also driving change are increasing multi-function devices such as VPN/Remote Access concentrators and Internet gateways. Learn about the techniques that IT organizations have used to successfully break down the silos and steps that you should take to be a silo-breaker in your organization.

The document discusses next generation managed IT services. It notes that more companies are outsourcing their IT departments to managed service providers (MSPs) to reduce costs and gain access to a variety of services and skills. MSPs help with security, uptime, access to new technologies, and cost savings over in-house IT. Next generation managed services involve managing more elements beyond hardware like security, cloud services, mobile devices, printing, and communications. These services can provision software, platforms, and infrastructure instantly on Microsoft Azure and Office 365 to reduce costs. The document emphasizes that proper management partners are needed for compliance, operations, and cost control when moving to cloud services.

Recent research from ESG shows that security teams are so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of security alerts that 43 percent of teams routinely ignore as much as 75 percent of all alerts[1]. At ServiceNow we’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to automate security incident response to help teams cope better. That’s why at this year’s Black Hat conference, we surveyed 337 security and IT professionals to better understand how and when to automate security incident response. What we found provides a roadmap for attacking the challenge of keeping-up with an increasingly overwhelming number of security alerts. Mark Ackerman, Sales Director – Middle East, ServiceNow
Hannah and Alex discuss treating security like a product by focusing on measurable outcomes and controllable inputs rather than compliance checklists. For small organizations, this involves threat modeling, establishing relevant security controls, determining success metrics, defaulting to automation, and iterating based on feedback. For large organizations, specialized security product teams may emerge to help operational teams meet security goals, such as application security validation engineers who help developers understand and manage risk. The goal is aligning security and business objectives through a "team of teams" approach.
NetGain Technologies is a regional IT services provider that has expanded nationally through acquisitions. They offer a range of managed IT services including managed IT, security, cloud computing, Microsoft solutions, storage/virtualization, disaster recovery, and unified communications. Their services are tailored to each client and aim to allow clients to focus on their business while NetGain handles supporting IT systems. They emphasize developing trusting relationships with clients and having certified staff to provide direct support.
This document provides 12 steps to get started with AWS cloud. It begins with establishing principles for the cloud migration such as choosing AWS as the primary cloud partner and agreeing on security objectives. It recommends forming small "2 pizza" engineering teams and establishing a questions parking lot. It emphasizes establishing clear objectives for costs, security, availability and compliance. It outlines that AWS is responsible for security of the cloud while customers are responsible for security in the cloud. The document provides an overview of AWS security services.
Hybrid cloud is becoming a necessity for many organizations. But building and managing an environment that effectively leverages the strengths of both public and private clouds can be a greater challenge than anticipated. One of the most critical elements of a hybrid cloud scenario is the management solutions that manage the cloud application lifecycle effectively. This presentation focuses on how organizations can manage their hybrid environments to ensure they achieve cloud computing success.
The document discusses the concepts of continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and DevOps. It describes how fragile and unstable application development processes can lead organizations into a downward spiral of technical debt and tension between development and operations teams. The DevOps model is presented as an alternative that emphasizes automation, measurement, sharing, and feedback cycles. Specific practices like microservices, canary releasing, and chaos engineering are presented as ways to enable continuous delivery. Examples from companies like Etsy and GitHub are provided.

How Infosec Can Become a Business Enabler: Interview with: Dr Tim Redhead, Director, DotSec, a sponsor company at the upcoming marcus evans Australian CIO Summit 2013, on how organisations can ensure information security becomes a business enabler.
The document discusses why past ECM implementations often failed and argues that integrating ECM with business processes can help overcome these challenges. It notes that ECM projects commonly struggled with user adoption, failed to provide measurable ROI, and lacked strategic importance. However, the document argues that by connecting ECM to "master applications" that drive key business processes, ECM can provide value by supporting important processes, inheriting metadata to improve findability, and delivering a measurable ROI through more efficient processes. Integrating ECM in this way addresses historic challenges and positions ECM as the backbone for managing unstructured content across an organization.
Rethinking Site Reliability Engineering for ITSM - SDI virtual event "New Way...Jon Stevens-Hall
This document discusses rethinking the application of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to IT Service Management (ITSM). It notes that while SRE has innovative concepts like focusing on eliminating toil and defining service level objectives, the name "SRE" implies a specialist developer role and may not apply to many ITSM contexts. It also cautions that most organizations are not at the scale of Google and a separate production operations team may not be efficient. The document proposes rebranding the SRE concept for ITSM with a new name and identifying new ways to apply key SRE principles to reduce toil and improve reliability within common ITSM frameworks and practices.
The 7 Secrets of Performance Management in Virtualized EnvironmentseG Innovations
Whether you virtualize desktops or critical business applications, the dynamics and complexities of virtualized environments can cause significant performance and user experience issues that can diminish the benefits of virtualization and risk interruption of critical business processes. The toughest performance problems are the ones where users call and complain that "my application is slow". IT administrators often struggle to determine the root-cause of the problem and restore service levels: Is it the application server? The virtualization layer? Is it the network? Database? Storage ...?

The Big Win: Stop Playing Small-Ball with Your Cloud StrategyServiceMesh
The document discusses how IT platforms have evolved over the past 10 years from taking weeks to deploy applications, to hours or minutes with self-service portals and automated orchestration. It argues that while cloud computing promises agility and cost savings, most companies are only realizing minor benefits ("small ball"). To truly transform their business, companies need to focus on optimizing the entire solution delivery lifecycle, embrace collaboration between developers and IT, and empower all users with advanced policy management across hybrid clouds. The document concludes by promoting the ServiceMesh Agility Platform as a way to transform the solution delivery lifecycle.
Step Up to the Plate: Take Your Cloud Strategy from the Minor Leagues to the ...ServiceMesh
Many enterprises are working on cloud computing strategies. Unfortunately, most are taking a tactical view of the situation and optimizing on the wrong things. In short, they are playing "small ball," which will result in suboptimal outcomes and possibly failed projects. To ensure your cloud project has the best chance of success, you'll need to think through a larger strategy. You'll need to step up to the major leagues. This presentation can help.
ServiceMesh's Dave Roberts presented at Cloud Expo 2011.
This document discusses five critical ways to improve security across clouds using a cloud management platform:
1. Use policy-based application and data governance to control which workloads can be placed in which cloud.
2. Automate security technology installation and configuration like firewalls, antivirus, and patch management.
3. Integrate configuration management solutions like Puppet and Chef to ensure compliance with policies.
4. Configure and enforce firewall policies for cloud VMs in private and public clouds.
5. Trigger security scans of VMs to ensure continuous security across cloud workloads.
Is Private Cloud Right for Your Organization?ServiceMesh

• How to get started with a hybrid approach: so you can see immediate benefit
• How the Cloud will impact your staff: key issues to address within your organization
Brighttalk understanding the promise of sde - finalAndrew White
Mr. White has 15 years of experience designing and managing systems monitoring and event management software. He previously led monitoring organizations at a Fortune 100 company and consulted for various organizations. He is now a cloud and smarter infrastructure specialist at IBM. The document discusses software-defined environments and their promise to increase agility through automation and integration of IT infrastructure.
Many companies are looking to move their CRM application from an on-premise to an on-demand environment. This webinar discusses the benefits and best practices of migrating from Siebel to Salesforce.com.
The document discusses how hybrid IT infrastructure combining on-premises and public cloud capabilities allows enterprises to maximize flexibility and performance. Nearly three-quarters of enterprises now use a hybrid model. When developing a hybrid strategy, organizations should consider how to better control "shadow IT," manage fluctuations in application demand, ease application development and testing, handle varied workloads and user bases, and meet changing workload demands through a flexible network. Workload awareness is also important, with most critical "Tier 1" workloads run on-premises where there is better control and security.
This document discusses project management strategies for cloud computing projects. It begins by defining cloud computing and its various models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. It then discusses common causes of failure for cloud projects, such as undefined success criteria, unquantified advantages, lack of accountability, and failure to manage applications and costs. The document recommends addressing these risks through effective scoping, change management, and an agile project methodology. Defining strategies, requirements, and risks upfront can help boost success rates for cloud computing projects.
The document discusses 10 top IT initiatives for businesses in 2016 according to a survey conducted by Peak 10. The top initiatives are:
1) Security, with a focus on adaptive security approaches
2) Disaster recovery, with an emphasis on testing DR plans regularly
3) Cloud computing, with advice to pursue a hybrid cloud strategy
4) Consolidation by communicating changes and collaborating across teams
5) Cost control through outsourcing non-core functions to reduce costs
6) Backups by understanding options to select the best approach for needs
7) Business growth by enhancing the customer experience with technology
8) Application management and starting outsourcing relationships the right way
9) Automation while considering

7 habits of highly effective private cloud architectsHARMAN Services
Cloud computing provides economics of scale. Many startups go ahead with public cloud computing which helps them start with no upfront infra costs and grow as the business grows.
However, in the case of enterprises, public cloud computing does not serve as a silver bullet. There are security concerns that prevents them from utilizing the benefits of public cloud computing. However, that does not mean, enterprise applications cannot not get the advantages of Cloud. The private cloud comes to the rescue. Private cloud is not only virtualization.
This paper discusses the habits of successful private cloud architects.

Editor's Notes
NOTES: What does ServiceMesh do… ServiceMesh sells enterprise software to the Global 2000. Regarding market category… if you over-simplify it… you could say we’re a software company in the Cloud Mgmt space… although that’s a very limiting description. What ServiceMesh really does is help large enterprises adopt what we call “Agile IT operating models”. Cloud is part of this…but its much more than simply moving workloads to the cloud… which we see as very tactical… at least from an enterprise customer perspective. The more strategic market opportunity to us is providing standardized and fully governed “as-a-service” offerings (including infrastructure and platforms), and leveraging them throughout the SDLC to compress cycle times, reduce complexity, and lower costs. This is done through a variety of ways including…. Self-service provisioning of standardized platforms and infrastructure for Dev and Test teams Software build automation… including fully automating the configuration and build of automated test environments Promoting entire deployment environments seamlessly from Dev to Test to Ops. SDLC should be more than moving the code. Should also automate the tracking, versioning, and promotion of the entire deployment environments. (Big time saver. Not constantly recreating the wheel. All assets versioned.)If you do this successfully, Developers focus more of their time writing code instead of IT trouble tickets and resources requests. And IT groups can redirect more of their time to being more innovative and business-driven. 2) That’s where our product comes in. Our software product offering is called the Agility Platform. It provides a unified governance, security, and lifecycle management layer for that portfolio of “as a service” offerings. It’s a lifecycle management platform…. so it helps automate workload planning, building, publishing, deployment and monitoring in the context of an end-to-end workflow. It also places a heavy emphasis on policy-based governance, security, and making workloads portable so they can deploy across heterogeneous internal and external clouds. 3) As a company, we’ve been working on these challenges since early 2008 with large enterprise customers. We feel fortunate to have gotten a good head start. In many ways, we think the Agility Platform has been ahead of the market…. Particularly in terms of our lifecycle management and governance approach. I think we can attribute that to our early exposure to our enterprise customer engagements. Our first customer 3.5 years ago was a Global bank with a $1B annual IT budget… and that continues to fit the general profile of our customers ever since. They’re all Global 2000 enterprises. 4) As a company, we’ve performed very well. (3X growth, profitable)ServiceMesh closed 2010 with a third consecutive year of profitability and tripled year-over-year revenues. ServiceMesh won the coveted UP-START 2010 award for “Fastest Growing Cloud Computing Company.”To keep pace with global demand for its offerings, ServiceMesh opened or expanded offices in Los Angeles, New York City, Austin, London, and Sydney.In 2010, ServiceMesh provided six major product releases of their flagship Agility Platform 5) We’re a global company. We have customers in NA, EMEA, and AP.
