The most trusted, proven enterprise-class Cloud:Closer than you think Uni Systems S.M.S.A.
The Big Decision – What, when, and why?
Enterprises are aware that the Cloud is changing IT, but security and performance remain a concern. Each cloud model has potential risks: reliability, adaptability, application compatibility, efficiency, scaling, lock- in, security and compliance. Companies must select an enterprise cloud solution to suit a complex mix of applications; these decisions require great care. Uni Systems’ Uni|Cloud was built to be enterprise class. The essential reason that many businesses today are using Uni Systems Cloud for their enterprise IT, is because it offers the only enterprise-class cloud solution in the Greek market, designed for mission-critical applications, coupled with application performance SLAs and security built for the enterprise, combined with cloud efficiency and consumption-based pricing/chargeback.

So why should I care as an SP / Telco?
..if I don’t transform, I will lose business to the likes of Amazon’s of the world
and focused Cloud Providers!!
..I have to provide Private Cloud internally to meet the demands and pressures on
the IT department more efficiently and effectively.
..I have to provide Public Cloud externally to meet the demands from the market
and provide differentiation through time-to-market and unique offerings
..I have to automate more and increase utilization more than ever while leveraging
my existing investments in facilities, people, process, and technologies
…SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST….IF I DON’T ADAPT SWIFTLY THEN…..???

21. 21 Confidential Data Center Solutions
Understanding the Business Model is important
Is this a new business? New revenue stream? Who are their customers?
Clarifying
• What segment of the market are you selling to? Retail, enterprises, resellers, wholesellers, etc.?
• How does your customer procure your services? i.e. with credit card through a portal or a phone call or a formal quote & PO?
• How do you authenticate them and know that they are really who they said they are?
• How do you know they are credit worthy? How do you verify their corporate background and company registration?
• How do you establish the legality of a binding contractual agreement between you and your customer?
Determines
• Need for a self-requisition portal or a partner portal?
• The different number of portals ‘look-and-feel’ that we need to customize, i.e. for partners, for
wholesellers or enterprises.
• What functionality should be available on the portal? For example, for resellers, do they need to be able to
scale up/down their reserved pool of capacity? What commercial implications would this bring if you
allow them to self-service?
• Level of integration with contracts management, billing, payment gateways and other OSS/BSS
components that is required?
• What are the information that we need to pass from one system to another?
• Workflow from the point where a service is requested to the point it is provisioned, what are the required
tasks and which components are required to be used?
23. 23 Confidential Data Center Solutions
Understanding the Business Model is important
What cloud services are going to be sold?
Clarifying
• What are your customers buying from you? Is it a basic compute services such as a VM?
• What about the OS licensing? Do you allow your customer to load their images?
• What is your basic configuration for each VM? Are there more than one configuration?
• How do you define the ‘service’?
• How do you charge for such services? Pay-per-reservation? Pay-as-they-are-used? Freemium model?
Determines
• Capacity requirement, configuration requirement, besides the standard X number of VMs, 2GB memory, Y
GB of usable storage capacity, etc.
• Whether the solution is purely infrastructure or should include pre-packaged deployments of LAMP-stack
/ web servers / app servers / database servers. If need to, SOE will have to be defined
• The detailed service definition to understand scope of maintenance (patching, updates, housekeeping)
• What are the integration with systems management tools for monitoring, releases / updates, etc.
• The cost and pricing structure and models. This is fundamentally modeling the pricing for the cloud
services and is key to the business.
• Customization required to measure and calculates chargeable usage of services. For example, in a
freemium model, customers get to use a certain amount of the service for “free” and are charged after
their consumption exceeds a threshold. So, calculation model is required.
25. 25 Confidential Data Center Solutions
Understanding the Business Model is important
Have you thought about Service Level Agreements?
Clarifying
• What SLA do you intend to offer? How do you define “service” in your SLA? How does your SL Agreement look like?
• Where do you demarcate the end of your responsibility in the SLA? Is it the edge of your network / exit point from your facility?
• What are the elements involved in delivering your service and how do you compute end-to-end service availability?
• What happens when you breach your SLA? Do you offer service credits? How do you apply such service credits?
• What are your legal liabilities for service level agreement breach? Have you involved your legal counsel to review and draft
your SLA?
• Besides availability, what other service levels do you want to offer?
Determines
• End-to-end view of the composition of service elements which fulfill the service. This fundamentally helps
to architects and piece together the infrastructure foundation, e.g. servers, network, storage, firewalls,
load balancers, routers, ISP connectivity, etc.
• Calculation requirement for SLA on availability and other service levels / parameters.
• Data required from external monitoring systems, e.g. network management, firewall monitoring, etc.
• The single point of failures in the architecture, and criticality of such single point of failures. Depending on
the definition of the service, it may not necessarily means that we will have to have redundancy at all
levels
• Whether the costing / pricing model should have a customized functionality for calculating or
provisioning service credits (deductibles).
• Amount of customization or integration required to support SLA and reporting of service levels.

27. 27 Confidential Data Center Solutions
Understanding the Business Model is important
What activities do you need to be in place to sell your cloud services?
Clarifying
• What happens after your customer buys the cloud service? How do you track who has ordered what?
• What about policies for entitlement checks? For billing checks, e.g. if they have not paid their last 2 months’ bill, you’ll not sell
to them anymore?
• What if you have ran out of capacity and what the customer wants to buy exceed available capacity?
• Do you want to control what workload your customer runs on the VM they buy?
• In the tender specs, it calls for backup solution, what exactly are backing up will depend on what services you’re selling?
• Service health management? Monitoring? What are we monitoring? How do you define QoS?
• How do you reconcile with your existing capacity planning process? With CMDB? With your existing asset database?
Determines
• Workflows. And the workflow determines the building blocks of the cloud management system.
• Integration required between the components, e.g. a tool for service portal, integrated with contracts,
billing engine, mediation tool for reconciliation of due charges, etc.
• Policies governing the procurement, entitlement, provisioning, usage, and other characteristics of the
service.
• What data that needs to be backed up and where are they located?
• Definition and requirements around QoS, service management, dashboard (if required) contents and
presentation, etc.
• How and where to integrate with CMDB, capacity planning tools, and asset database.

OPERATIONS: BLEND ITIL / ITSM / ETOM / NGOSS
30. 30 Confidential Data Center Solutions
Understanding the Business Model is important
Are you selling direct or to resellers or both?
Clarifying
• How do you want to reserve pools of capacity for resellers? Up front bulk or “thin provisioning” style? How do you allocate
your cost structure to resellers? Do you charge them total costs regardless of their take-up rate?
• Do you want to have a back-to-back agreement with your resellers on service obligations?
• Are your resellers going to be value adding and modifying your service before they resell? If so, what do you think this is? How
will your technology supports those modifications?
• What level of multi-tenancy do you envisaged is required – at the physical level, at the network level, at the virtualization level
or purely just resource sharing / management?
• What about IP addressing? You will own a range from APNIC, but how do you slice and allocate that to all of your customers?
Determines
• All the hooks, nooks and interfaces required
• Platform requirements, e.g. how to support enhancements of features for resellers (if required)
• Network and infrastructure architecture design for multi-tenancy support
• Robustness of the infrastructure
• Capacity planning and model for proactive capacity management
• Tools required to support the service delivery
• Data flows
• Relating cost model (CAPEX investments) to pricing structure to billing cycle.
