Organizations everywhere are looking for the best ways to leverage cloud technologies to maximize efficiencies, minimize costs, and increase agility. Research shows that a majority of enterprises are taking a hybrid cloud approach to leverage existing hardware or to meet performance, compliance, and security requirements. In this webinar, we cover key considerations for building and managing a private or hybrid cloud. This includes a discussion of determining appropriate workloads for hybrid clouds, customer examples, and lessons learned. Key topics: 1. Considerations and best practices for designing and implementing a private or hybrid environment. 2. Customer examples of hybrid implementations and key lessons learned. 3. How to easily include virtualized environments into your hybrid cloud plans and implementation. 4. Cost management and analytics for your hybrid cloud.

8. Definitions and Terminology
Private Cloud/Virtualized environment: Compute, storage, and network
resources for a single tenant that are accessed programmatically via an API
and/or a user interface.
Cloud Architecture: A similar set of multi-tenant resources provided by a
cloud vendor with access via an API endpoint.
Multi-Cloud: An environment that spans two or more separate clouds, be
they both public, both private, or one (or more) of each.
Hybrid IT/Cloud: An environment that spans one or more public clouds as
well as one or more private/virtualized environments.

13. No Wait IT Keeps R&D Productive
“Lilly is leveraging RightScale
against application stacks in a
‘vending machine’ concept that
allows self-service to
infrastructure.”

15. Use Case: Cloudbursting
o An application deployment model in which an application runs in your
datacenter and bursts to a cloud provider when the demand for
computing capacity spikes.
o The advantage of a cloud bursting-enabled deployment is that an
organization only pays for extra compute resources when they are
needed.
