AGILE CLOUD: NAVIGATING THE TRANSITION TO MANAGE IT dinCloud Inc.
The debate about IT is dominated by a
narrow focus on near-term objectives: shrill cries
claim that the business will stop (or fail) if a
feature isn’t added to the ecommerce site, if the
mobility platform isn’t improved, if the network
and compute back end aren’t upgraded, if
storage and database performance isn’t
accelerated. Often, these changes are truly
essential, and demand immediate attention.
However, midmarket firms can’t assemble a
meaningful strategy from point responses to
near-term issues. Increasingly, midmarket
enterprises are finding that continued
operational success requires an “agile-cloud”

Cloud solutions continue to grow not only in adoption but also in importance in customer IT strategies. In typical risk-averse practices, cloud solutions were initially used near the fringes of IT environments, delivering test and development functions far outside most of the core mission-critical workloads sustaining internal and external business operations. Likewise, customers in regulated industries such as healthcare or government were initially wary of the security and performance of services delivered from third-party data centers. These dynamics are changing rapidly, however, as both the customer and vendor behavior around cloud have matured considerably. Cloud providers have expanded their data center locations, added almost every flavor of regulatory compliance, and enhanced security capabilities. These developments have dramatically lowered the traditional barriers to cloud adoption, allowing customers in almost any industry to have at least the possibility of deploying most of their workloads through cloud delivery methods.

As important as the back end technologies of virtual data center operations, application virtualization
and orchestration may be, a substantial portion of cloud’s ‘magic’ is its ability to provide new forms of
support to line-of-business staff, providing advanced automation options for functions that were
previously poorly automated or entirely manual.
IBM MaaS360 being recognized as a leader in yet another UEM research reportŁukasz Piotrowicz
Unified endpoint management may be a new industry term, but MaaS360 is no stranger to the concept – being recognized as a leader in yet another UEM research report.
"Establishing positive user experience and responsible security controls begins with effective endpoint management that consolidates support for all devices used to perform business tasks," noted Steve Brasen, EMA Research Director and author of the EMA Radar for Unified Endpoint Management.
"Our evaluation has clearly identified IBM Maas360 with Watson as a market value leader for providing a feature-rich product set, outstanding cost-efficiencies, and broad heterogenous support for PCs, mobile devices, wearables, and IoT endpoints."
See why MaaS360 continues to earn top recognition in this exciting new space.

Thin clients offer a number of benefits as end-user replacements for PCs, including lower cost, longer useful life, enhanced security, improved mobility. In today's cloud-based computing environment, why haven't more Federal agencies implemented thin clients as their primary end-user platforms?
Maybe you can already recite the sales pitch for cloud computing in your sleep—how it’s faster, more flexible, and economical than amassing your own servers on site. But, as Joe Weinman argues in “Rethinking the Benefits of Cloud,” that’s just scratching the surface. In this exclusive white paper, Weinman, author of Cloudonomics: The Business Value of Cloud Computing, explores some of the overlooked—and more nuanced—business benefits of moving workloads to the cloud, such as faster innovation, global expansion, and customer satisfaction.

BYOD is all the rage, but our MD, Daragh O Brien, has a contrarian view.
BYOD places the emphasis on the devices and technology. This is wrong. The focus needs to shift back to the reason we have this technology in the first place - accessing and processing information.
By thinking "GATOR" (Give Access to Our Resources) we can broaden our thinking about the Who, How, Where, Why, and When of our information management regardless of how the device that is accessing it was procured.
This presentation was prepared and delivered for an awareness event hosted by Netspeed (www.netspeed.ie) and Aruba

6. Rapidly changing technology can be both a threat to this right
and the means of protecting it.
Building data protection safeguards into new technologies and
applications of these technologies remains the best approach.
This is as much true of data processing in the "cloud" as it is of a
routine development of an IT application in an organisation.
7. We both believe that companies who direct their
services to European consumers should be subject
to EU data protection laws. Otherwise, they should
not be able to do business on our internal market

10. THE ENTERPRISE COMPUTING
CHALLENGE:
To implement Cloud-based solutions in
ways that
1. First do no harm
2. Improve actual as well as
accounting efficiency
3. Optimise the entire system, not just
one function
4. Are appropriate to strategic intent
and business need
12. THE SOLUTION TO SILOS?
Silos are simple instances of IT, where processes and
data reside in their own little universe, typically not
interacting with other systems... Cloud computing will
address efficiency around resource utilization, but any
gains there could be rapidly lost if we're just using cloud
computing to build more silos.
David Linthicum, The Danger of Cloud Silos, Infoworld.com, 17th August 2010
14. CHALLENGE
• Integration of information the key challenge.
• Requirement for
• Efficiency
• Effectiveness
• Reliability
• Zero tolerance for double or triple entry of data across
different platforms
• “Free” cloud not always appropriate
• Cloud often provided good solutions (but not always)

22. EMERGENCE OF “SELF SERVICE”
Who can access what data?
an
Who do KW‟s go to if there is a problem with the data?
What does the data actually mean ?
Where do KW‟s go to request access to data?
Who can change data? How?
How do we control the adoption of tools and
technologies?
Are we sure that the new use is consistent with
Regulatory or other obligations?
Are we comparing apples with oranges in reporting?
What is the process for bringing in new data sources?
Are we keeping aligned with Company Strategy?
23. EMERGENCE OF “SELF SERVICE”

Cloud „Quick Fixes‟
24. Making the „plumbing‟ work consistently and
reliably in the face of environments that are not
perfectly controllable will be a big challenge in
Enterprise Computing going forward
27. THE AGE OF THE PLATFORM
If the changes wrought by technology were temporary
then perhaps they could be easily dismissed as flashes in
the pan. However technology‟s march is not abating; in
fact it is intensifying. For this very reason, people need
simple, secure, powerful, integrated, and user-friendly
ways to create, consume, purchase, share, and manage
their content. They need to connect with others –easily
and often. For all these reasons they need platforms.
Phil Simon
28. WHAT IS A PLATFORM?

32. INFORMATION QUALITY
In the age of platforms and Cloud, when efficiency and
success require things to work and to talk to each other
effectively, organisations will have to pay particular
attention to the quality of their information so that it is
usable in all parts of the platform with minimal scrap,
rework, and process failure.
33. GOVERNANCE
Pursuing a cloud computing strategy on
external, cloud-based virtualized servers
without a data governance strategy could
very well wreak havoc on any enterprise
