IT as a Service (ITaaS) delivers on-demand IT resources and applications to users through a cloud services brokerage platform. It provides self-service access to applications, desktops, and infrastructure from any device. ITaaS gives users a consumer-like experience while providing IT control over resources and compliance. Transitioning to an ITaaS model transforms infrastructure and applications into cloud services that can be easily accessed and managed.
How do corporate executives see the IT organization? Too often, as a cost center or roadblock. The most successful enterprises take a different approach. They view IT as a strategic asset and the IT budget as an investment in innovation. See how here.
What Do you Need to Know to make IT-as-a-Service a Reality?Gravitant, Inc.
Cloud is on everyone’s mind, in fact in a recent IDC survey over 70% of IT Executives indicated IT-as-a-Service is key to enterprise success and in a recent Cisco and Intel survey, 76% of respondents see themselves becoming an internal broker. These two trends represent a shift in the approach to IT services, one that focuses on business operations as much, if not more, than traditional IT operations.
Join Gravitant and Leverhawk as we share our customers’ early learnings and strategic considerations in making the transition to ITaaS and key takeaways for what you need to know to do IT-as-a-Service right in your organization.
Episode 1 of 8 - presenting an architectural transformation for IT organizations that are interesting in delivering ITaaS to its consumer (user) community. Automation/Provisioning of services via an "Amazon.like" experience is defined.
What exactly is IT as a Service in the cloud? To keep it simple, it is a method that treats IT as a business, providing exactly the amount of hardware, software, and support needed for a simple monthly fee. Sysvana's scalable, secure, and always on system allows the small to medium sized businesses to experience IT like an Enterprise.
In this session you will learn how leveraging a Cloud Services Broker within a Hybrid IT environment, will be key to balancing the speed and flexibility that the Lines of Business (LOB)s require while maintaining compliance, security and control for Central IT and position CIO as leader to accelerate innovation for their Enterprise.

Master thesis presentation on 'Cloud Service Broker' Carlos Gonçalves
Throughout the history of computer systems, experts have been reshaping IT infrastructure for improving the efficiency of organizations by enabling shared access to computational resources. The advent of cloud computing has sparked a new paradigm providing better hosting and service delivery over the Internet. It offers advantages over traditional solutions by providing ubiquitous, scalable and on-demand access to shared pools of computational resources.
Over the course of these last years, we have seen new market players offering cloud services at competitive prices and different Service Level Agreements. With the unprecedented increasing adoption of cloud computing, cloud providers are on the look out for the creation and offering of new and value-added services towards their customers. Market competitiveness, numerous service options and business models led to gradual entropy. Mismatching cloud terminology got introduced and incompatible APIs locked-in users to specific cloud service providers. Billing and charging become fragmented when consuming cloud services from multiple vendors. An entity recommend- ing cloud providers and acting as an intermediary between the cloud consumer and providers would harmonize this interaction.
This dissertation proposes and implements a Cloud Service Broker focusing on assisting and encouraging developers for running their applications on the cloud. Developers can easily describe their applications, where an intelligent algorithm will be able to recommend cloud offerings that better suit application requirements. In this way, users are aided in deploying, managing, monitoring and migrating their applications in a cloud of clouds. A single API is required for orchestrating the whole process in tandem with truly decoupled cloud managers. Users can also interact with the Cloud Service Broker through a Web portal, a command-line interface, and client libraries.
A brief and sharp explanation of the Cloud Service Brokerage concept. Starts with general cloud introduction explaining why brokers/aggregators/intermediaries might be needed. The second part explains the most important concepts of cloud service brokerage. And in the end the portfolio management matrix is proposed as an assessment tool.

“Cloud services brokerage (CSB) is an IT role and business model in which a company or other entity adds value to one or more (public or private) cloud services on behalf of one or more consumers of that service via three primary roles including aggregation, integration and customization brokerage” - (Gartner)
Enterprise IT teams know they need to broker cloud services to their internal cloud users. Many companies implement a cloud management platform to provide a foundation for delivering cloud services. However, success as a cloud broker also requires also organizational, cultural, and process changes. Learn about the key steps needed to transform your IT organization into a cloud broker.
As a business analyst or strategist, you will learn how to understand the risks of an API project, and the right questions to ask your delivery team. As a technical person, you will learn to communicate the value of an API offering, the urgency of doing it now, and the value it adds to your company’s digital strategy. http://www.softwareag.com/corporate/products/wm/api_management/overview/default.asp

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

• Evolve to ITaaS by transforming
infrastructure, apps to cloud services
and brokering their access
And this has changed user’s expectations – as consumers, users are very familiar with going to appstores, subscribing to what they need, getting instantaneous access and provisioning, and interacting with apps or services 24x7 from any device without ever having to call someone or wait for days.This “consumerization” has led users to expect the same from enterprises – users want the same self-service, 24x7, instant access to corporate services and applications.
Early adopter employees have embraced business and personal cloud services in the workplace through grass roots projects, ad hoc adoption and consumerization. IT is challenged to maintain security, compliance, audit and support standards in the wake of new cloud services entering the workplace and network. IT struggles to meet the increased demand from business units for new services that are available on-demand and on any deviceIT has to also deliver all the legacy IT services along with next gen cloud services in a consistent, unified manner. Manual provisioning and management of IT requests for infrastructure and applications impedes business progress.
This paradigm shift is a move to “IT as a Service” – where IT acts as a broker and aggregates and curates a collection of services coming from a variety of sources. The technology that facilitates this shift is called “a cloud service broker”. Gartner predicts that over 30% of enterprises will start brokering cloud services in the next 12 months.
A good example of an ITaaS use case is the University of Sao Paulo. The University of São Paulo Builds Latin America's Largest University CloudThe University of São Paulo (USP) is the largest Brazilian university and the country's most prestigious educational institution. USP is also the largest institution of higher education in Latin America, with 100,000 students, 6,000 professors and 17,000 employees.The challenge: supporting widely dispersed, remote locationsIn spite of its status as a leading global university, USP suffered from a dispersed and substandard IT infrastructure. One hundred and fifty mini-datacenters were located in 11 campuses across nine cities, with limited local technical and managerial support; substandard energy and heat dissipation resources; and insufficient policies for data security and backup. Data stored on internal hard drives posed problems for data management and integrity. More than once, years of research was lost due to poor infrastructure, costing USP large amounts of money and undermining projects that could have saved or improved many lives or brought new innovations to market.The solution: building a university-wide cloud with Citrix solutions The "Nuvem USP" (Cloud USP), as it is called, was conceived and designed to provide on-demand, centrally managed virtual datacenters, with flexibility and security, backup, data replication and high availability. The USP cloud is built on servers virtualized with Citrix XenServer and orchestrated by Citrix CloudPlatform, with services managed and presented to all teaching and research units and areas as well as business users through a unified self-service portal built with Citrix CloudPortal Business Manager. Citrix powered desktops and streamed applications via Citrix XenDesktop are available to users anywhere on PCs, mobile devices and thin clients, using Citrix Receiver as a universal client. Citrix NetScaler provides cloud networking services including application delivery optimization and load balancing.Key benefit: providing self-service cloud services to meet diverse needs institution-wideCloud USP greatly streamlines the provisioning of any type of infrastructure in a secure, flexible, and highly scalable environment. Teachers and researchers can start work in minutes by selecting the hardware and software they need through a self-service portal interface, eliminating bureaucratic delays, while managing their budgets in real time. USP's departments and laboratories can quickly and easily manage servers, storage and networks. Staff and students can use cloud-based apps to arrange meetings, access social networks and view files in a number of formats. Administrators use Cloud USP for email, payment, human resources, grade management and issuing diplomas and certificates. Graduate, postgraduate, research and university extension students can access educational content as well as scanned library and museum collections. For scientists, services focus on research with an emphasis on massive data storage as well as intensive compensation or processing.Key benefit: ensuring reliable access and data protection for uninterrupted productivityWith all data centralized and backed up in cloud datacenters rather than distributed across hundreds of hard drives, researchers no longer worry about losing valuable research data. Cloud USP also helps insulate users from disruptions such as strikes by student protesters, which can render key university buildings inaccessible, making it impossible for administrators and other users to reach their desks. With virtualized desktops available on-demand via Cloud USP, these individuals can now continue to work without interruption regardless of conditions on campus.Key benefit: attracting a new generation of students"Using electronic media as part of on-site teaching activities, while also providing educational content on digital media, is something we have to immediately integrate now that we are dealing with a generation of students who are digital natives," says USP Rector JoãoGrandinoRodas. "The decision to pioneer and implement an innovative project of this scale is one of several strategic decisions to ensure that USP retains its position as one of the world's foremost universities."Looking aheadIn the next phase of the Cloud USP project, the university will provide teachers, researchers, students and university staff with data sync, storage and sharing through Citrix ShareFile, making it simple to access and collaborate around information on any device. Designed to serve users of all backgrounds and needs, with the flexibility to adapt to new requirements, Cloud USP provides a foundation for highly productive learning experiences and scientific research throughout the university.

What is CloudPlatform?CloudPlatform is our IaaS platform for building enterprise and service provider clouds. Citrix commercial distro of OSS Apache CloudStack CloudPlatform is controlled package QA’d and distributed by Citrix Eng – includes indemnity and warranty as well as guaranteed patch and update stream. Citrix CloudPlatform license includes support and maintenance as well as available consulting/design services.
Before we jump into Enterprise Customer use cases, lets talk about the applications deployed on Clouds today. There are two types of applications, Traditional Workload that depends on underlying infrastructure for reliability and resiliency. The admin teams are expected to back-up everything and recover all infrastructure and applications when the infrastructure goes down. Most of these applications can scale up but not scale out. On the other hand, the cloud-era applications are designed for infrastructure failure. The applications have in-built elasticity and resiliency. Leveraging ephemeral resources, the applications can be easily deployed in a scale-out architecture across different sites. Since the applications leverage resilency and elasticity, they can be self-healing in case of a whole site going down.The good news is that Citrix Cloud Platform can manage both types of worklaods under one umbrella. So, as Enterprises, where most of the workloads today are traditional workloads like SAP, Oracle, Exchange, move towards more cloud-era workloads, they can continue to use Cloud Platform for managing both workloads.http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/chaos-monkey-released-into-wild.htmlWhat is Chaos Monkey?Chaos Monkey is a service which runs in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) that seeks out Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs) and terminates instances (virtual machines) per group. The software design is flexible enough to work with other cloud providers or instance groupings and can be enhanced to add that support. The service has a configurable schedule that, by default, runs on non-holiday weekdays between 9am and 3pm. In most cases, we have designed our applications to continue working when an instance goes offline, but in those special cases that they don't, we want to make sure there are people around to resolve and learn from any problems. With this in mind, Chaos Monkey only runs within a limited set of hours with the intent that engineers will be alert and able to respond.
Yes – Citrix cloud architecture enables any org to BUILD Amazon-style clouds.Analogous chart – key points: ability to work with any kind of infrastructure, based on customer demand; can leverage XS for virtualization layer [get an example of “better together” optimization between XS/CS], but absolutely have an open architecture that lets the customer decide…want to use vSphere? great…want to use KVM? Great…OVM? Great. In fact, we’re so hypervisor-agnostic that we don’t need a hypervisor at all…our cloud architecture allows us to build bare-metal clouds. We needed a production-ready cloud orchestration system…this was the driving motivation behind our acquisition last summer of a company named Cloud.com, whose maturity of technology and customer adoption far exceeded that of any other company we looked at. [do we label this CloudStack? What about new name unveiling? Sequence issue.] We also expose our rich, native CS API, but have invested a great deal in ensuring interoperability with the AWS API…as we just saw, there is a massive ecosystem of customers and partners that have already written to this de facto standard, and we don’t want customers to have to re-write anything…we already have a rich API translation layer that allows workloads written to our CS API to run against the AWS API, and are investing further to support workloads written to the AWS API to seamlessly run on the CS API. And our customers also needed a way to be able to self-serve against this cloud infrastructure, and in the case of our SP customers actually monetize that interaction…so we’ve delivered a product line called Cloud Portal…this line provides the ability to give self-service access to infrastructure and services to end users. This complete stack of technology is how Citrix can confidently say “we can help you build an Amazon-style cloud for your organization.”

Universal Access Client, or Access Agent, Access Client SoftwareRemoteFX – enhance visual experience of RDPPCoIP – display protocol to deliver virtual desktops with best total desktop experience regardless of location or task
Intro: Desktop virtualization addresses many of IT’s most pressing concerns simultaneously.Key Points:We can free people from the constraints of a more traditional enterprise computing model. Our approach is already enabling people to work and collaborate from anywhere, and to access any IT service from any device. It is a new, more people-centric approach that spans from desktop to datacenter. IT has the ability to centralize, virtualize and deliver apps, desktops and data with greater control, security, and efficiency and ultimately lower operating costs. Any data center becomes a delivery center and where all aspects of computing become cloud-based services. For IT, Citrix technology enables a virtual datacenter – where computing resources are always available to users with the security, performance and control that IT requires to manage desktops and apps. It is the foundation of the new, transformed people-centric IT – easier and simpler.For end-users, Citrix technology offers virtual workstyles with the flexibility to balance work and life – the freedom to collaborate and work anywhere, on any device – achieving the freedom employees want with the control IT requires. For the business, Citrix provides the agility needed to seize new growth opportunities – organic and inorganic, deliver exceptional customer service and create a more efficient business.Illustration/Anecdotes/Proof:(Bring in Citrix examples that demonstrate the claims made above.)Transition: Let’s take a look at what is possible today through a customized Desktop Virtualization solution.
XenApp and XenDesktop, the most complete application and desktop virtualization solutions available, are built to work on any device, anywhere. And while XenDesktop includes VDI, what makes it a complete desktop virtualization solution is the fact that customers centrally manage images, apps, user data profiles and access policies, while choosing the right desktop or app virtualization model for different use cases with FlexCast. These models include both central execution with hosted VDI, hosted shared and physical PCs, as well as local execution with a local Hypervisor for PCs and laptops (XenClient) and streamed delivery of apps (via XA or AppV) and desktops (PVS). Plus, customers can choose to just deliver apps to physical PCs with the XenApp technology, which is also included in XenDesktop.Another key differentiator for our desktop and app virtualization solutions is the high-def user experience with HDX. With our focus on end-user experience as a major differentiator, we’ve spent years investing in this technology to ensure that the experieince a user has with a virtual desktop is as good if not better than a physical PC, including support for multimedia, video and graphically intensive apps like CAD. And we continue to invest further in that.And last but not least, we’ve built the platform to be open, so customers can leverage their existing hypervisor and storage infrastructure, and the platform is scalable and proven, because we’ve been in this business for years, and we have many deployments in excess of 10,000 users, more than 500 partners and more than 20,000 products that we’ve verified to work with XenApp and XenDesktop through our Citrix Ready initiative.Transition: But what some customer’s may not know, is that we’ve also been investing heavily in ensuring that virtualized windows apps and desktop are optimized for mobile use, because our customers know they need to embrace these devices, but they also know that Windows apps and desktops are not going away quickly.
