The Open Data Center Alliance Cloud Maturity Model (CMM) provides an end-to-end visualization for how the use of cloud in the enterprise develops over time (adoption roadmap) and how the enterprise’s ability to adopt cloud-based services within defined governance and control parameters increases. As it matures, the use of cloud becomes more sophisticated, comprehensive, and optimized. The CMM plots the progression of structured cloud service integration from a baseline of no cloud use through five progressive levels of maturity. This presentation will walk attendees through the maturity model that the ODCA has developed and how they can apply this model to their organization creating a comprehensive plan to fully integrate cloud into their operations.

(managed &

Potential for

Awareness of Cloud
computing is
established and
some groups are
beginning to
implement
elements of Cloud
Computing. There
is no cohesive

plan being followed
Approach has been
decided upon and is
opportunistically
applied. The
approach is not
widely accepted and
redundant or
overlapping
approaches exist.
May be informally
defined, or if
documented, may
exist primarily as
“shelf ware”.
Initial Benefits of
leveraged
infrastructure.
(Capability gains)
The approach has
been reviewed and
accepted by
affected parties.
There has been
buy-in to the
documented
approach and the
approach is always
(or nearly always)
followed
(Efficiency gains)
The capability is
being measured
and quantitatively
managed via some
type of governance
structure.
Appropriate metrics
are being gathered
and reported
(Increased
Velocity,
Increased
Quality)
Metrics are
consistently gathered
and used to
incrementally improve
the capability. Assets
are proactively
maintained to ensure
relevance and
correctness. The
potential for market
mechanisms to be
used to leverage
inter-cloud operations
has been established
(Cloud based
systems aligned to
and enabling
Business Strategy,
pro-actively)
Note: Capability, Efficiency, Velocity & Quality all start on the far left, with continual increase to the right, as higher levels of implementation are achieved, as described within the columns
CMM 0
(None)
There is no Cloud
approach being
taken. No elements
of Cloud are being
implemented

6. • Original ODCA CMM v1.0 represented a Cloud Adoption Roadmap
• It provided end-to-end visualization for how the use of cloud in the enterprise develops over time
• As enterprises mature, the use of cloud becomes more sophisticated, comprehensive, and optimized.
• The Cloud Maturity Model v2.0 represents the enterprise’s ability to sustainably adopt
cloud based services within defined technical, governance and control parameters.
• It enables assessment of the following capabilities:
• Architecture
• Infrastructure
• Information
• Operations
• Administration
• Management
• It guides investments per “capability” to step from one tier to the next.
• It describes five progressive tiers of maturity towards adopting Cloud Services deeply

7. KEY TAKE-AWAYS FROM THIS UM
Use the CMM to analyze your Cloud Strategy
Use the CMM to plan your Cloud Investments
Use the CMM to evaluate Cloud Offerings
Use the CMM to plan & define your target state

8. SUMMARY: IMPACT & NEXT STEPS
Impact
• Understand CMM Maturity and Progression
• Moving Up: Everyone does NOT have to target CMM Level 5 – pick what’s right for you
• The next Cloud Model: Hybrid vs. Public – the next generation is right around the corner
• Business Layer – the biggest challenges to adopting cloud are NOT technical
Actions
• Use the CMM to backup your Cloud Strategy development, towards achieving your Business
Objectives
• Hybrid vs. Public: Review and validate current assumptions about cloud and which
challenges to select and face
