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.

USE CASES

11. Use Case: Public Cloud for Agility
o Agility for faster time to market
• Web
• Dev/test
• Self-service IT
o Geographic Expansion
o Op-ex model
o Alternate resource pool

12. Example of Self-Service

Leverage all resources
Increases agility across the board

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.
