Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

8. Multi-Cloud Strategies and ‘Best Execution Venues’
Multi-clouds become more inevitable as
companies seek to insure themselves against
failure
Increased requirement for BEV capability
determined by performance, compliance or
some other SLA and policy requirement
9. Cloud orchestration, a key requirement here…
• Marries the disciplines of automated self-service resource
provisioning, on-boarding and management with process, policy,
governance and security
• Hybrid cloud model won’t work unless the entities and functions in a
system can be dynamically orchestrated
• Users seek full lifecycle experiences and want to automate the
delivery of workloads to the most suitable clouds (internal/external)
• Provides a ‘missing link’ between the enterprise and cloud
• Growing number of suppliers converging on this opportunity
• Taking existing applications and moving them to the cloud is an
inevitable requirement for hybrid clouds…
10. Towards Hybrid? Enterprises as Service Providers?
• Enterprises seeking to deliver IT as a service to their own
organizations using a combination of on-premises and hosted
resources
• IT departments as cloud service providers/brokers
• Service provider offerings should be based on:
• Simplicity (portals, orchestration)
• Transparency (management tools, diagnostic capabilities)
• Trust (service level agreements, reliability)
• Security (transparency into process and policies)
• End users want mobility. Locking in end users is not a viable longterm strategy…

29. * First version of the OPTIMIS toolkit will be released in
June.
* Different levels of Interoperability with public Cloud
providers:
* Non-Optimis – Adaptors system to different
infrastructures. Lack of standards, potential solution
based on delta Cloud.
* Optimis Enhanced providers: Partial adoption of Optimis
toolkit. I.e. support for different VM Managers. Again lack
of standards are is the issue. Potential solutions based on
CIMI and OCCI
*
30. *
* where are we with Cloud standards?
* fragmented landscape with many parallel standards development efforts
* limited interaction between groups; difficult consensus-based path
* initiatives like SIENA and large institutions like NIST help facilitate this
collaboration
Cloud adoption is increasing at a healthy rate and usage trends point to mainstream acceptance. The cloud model is transitioning from a largely experimental, specific-use-case computing alternative (phase 1) to a more mainstream IT strategy being embraced by enterprises and government agencies (phase 2). While we are seeing an increase in demand for ‘phase 2’ offerings (cloud management) there continues to be a great deal of activity on the opposite side of the cloud spectrum. New IaaS offerings being launched by hosting companies, managed service providers and telcos. This investment at the low end of the spectrum for on-demand infrastructure demonstrates a continued high-level demand for ‘phase 1’ offerings.Increased number of vendors are marketing their cloud offerings specifically for enterprises. We saw private cloud move to the foreground through 2011, increasingly, it will be hybrid strategies that define the supply side agenda as organizations seek to make the best use of existing resources and domain skills.
The majority of enterprises are currently focused on building out their internal private cloud infrastructure. However, what most define as an internal private cloud is largely just virtualization. Attributes like cost transparency, automated hybrid provisioning and self-service, have largely not been implemented.
Internal Cloud: 42% of end users interviewed said they are struggling with management. Internal resistance related to fear, uncertainty and doubt are also impacting the uptake of internal private clouds.External Cloud: Security and internal resistance are both leading inhibitors of public cloud adoption. Security was cited by 69% of respondents as a pain point. Security concerns typically revolve around data privacy and location.
There were a lot of cloud users who got hurt when Amazon went down on April 21. Following this, on August 7, a lightning strike caused power outages at the major cloud computing data hubs for Amazon and Microsoft in Dublin. On February 29 this year Microsoft’s Windows Azure cloud service was hit with performance problems, leaving customers unable to manage their applications for about 8 hours and knocking Azure-based services offline for some users.
As a consequence, a multi-cloud world becomes more inevitable as companies seek to insure themselves against failure. End users seeking ways to automate the delivery of workloads and apps to the most suitable execution environments (be it external/internal) – BEV, whether that is determined by performance, compliance or some other SLA or policy requirement.

OPTIMIS vision is in the future Cloud Services won’t be provided neither completely in house nor completely externalized, but in a hybrid model realized by private clouds interacting with a wide ecosystem of external cloud providers.In order to make reality this vision, weidentify needs to be addressed in the complete Cloud Service life-cycle. Providing optimized tools for: -Service Construction,Cloud DeploymentCloud Operation Taking into account in all these phases self-management based on Trust, Risk, Eco-efficiency and Cost parameters, what we call the TREC parameters, as well as legal constraints.Optimis is a software toolkit that service providers deploy in the data center. It is a complement to cloud management, orchestration and application lifecycle management platforms. It gives service providers the capability to easily orchestrate cloud services customized for the unique needs of their applications and make intelligent deployment decisions based on their preference regarding trust, risk, eco-efficiency and cost (TREC). It gives them the choice of developing once and deploying services across all types of cloud environments – private, hybrid, federated or multi-clouds.
Ourvision is centered on the following innovations:Construction:Simplified construction of services, enabling developers to determine service needs for TREC parameters. Deployment based on Dependable Sociability = Trust + Risk + Eco + Cost:The combination of these parameters capture the essence of the optimized cloud ecosystem, generated by the mutual trust between consumers and providers in a secure environment and the risk of not accomplishing specific ecological or economical goals. ConsideringMulti-Cloud Architectures and on Federated Cloud Providers enabling novel and complex composition of clouds multiple providers in a transparent fashion.Internal Cloud operation: Adaptive and Eco-Aware Self-Preservation for automated, dynamic and pro-active management of cloud infrastructures. Support self-evaluation and –management based on Trust, Risk, Eco-efficiency and Costholistic approach, not isolated measuresCover both provider and consumer aspects (e.g., elasticity–admission control interplay).4.External Cloud Operation:License Management for external cloud executionVM Security + Federation SecurityData Management between Clouds (legal constraints)In all these phases we take into account both legal and regulatory aspects, considering both data protection and privacy, as well as green legislation
What do we mean byhybridClouds?In optimisweconsiderthefloowingscenarios:Privatecloudexecution, thatduetocertaincircumstances decides tomovepart of the load to a cloud,WhatwecallfederatedClouds, a IaaS interactingwithmultiple IaaS CloudsMultiCloud SP withmultipleIpsthat can be considered a ServiceProvideroreven a Broker
As previously stated in Optimes we consider two main roles:A service provider: an organisation that has an application or service to be executed in a Cloud. We consider both the model where it has its own infrastructure or not. An infastructure provider which represents a tipical IaaS providers.Of the scenarios I have previously detailed 2 of them decision for this scenario is taken at Deployment type Private Cloud and Multi-Cloud while for Cloud Bursting or Federation it is taken at operation phase.
The Toolkit is main Optimis Results. It has three types of tools:Tools for DevelopersFor Service providersAnd For infastructure providersTools for Developers, consist on a programming model implemented in Java where paralelsm among diverse code pieces can be expressed by means of annotations, and an IDE. Tools for Service providersThat enables the owner of an application, developed with the programming model, or just as set of VMs to select the best deployment option based on trec parameters as well as to get information of service performance and configuration during operation. Tools for IaaS providers add a management layer on top of known VM Managers such as Open Nebula or Eucalyptus. It adds capabilities control acceptance of new workload, to manage SLA as well as to control automated Elasticity of applications and FaultTolerance.
TREC parameters influence the whole system. First because users express their requirements to deploy a service based on their combination. Trust level is the degree in which a provider fulfuls SLA and represents reputationRisk is the risk of failure a provider offersEco it’s the eco-efficiency of the provider. And Cost is ClearAlso although these are separated parameters there is a clear correlation among them. Trust influences level of risk an user is ready to assume by selecting a providersWhile the less ecologically efficient a provider is, in principle, the upper costs it has, as energy is a very important cost factor in the data center.
As I have mentioned in the Toolkit overview we have several components at Infrastructure Provider level that can take decisions in kind of autonomic manner. In order to control their behaviour there are configured to optimize based on policies derived from Provider’s Business level objectives.
Based on the Business Level Objectives, its derived policies and Service requirements for TREC components optimize different aspects:Selection of provider or set of providers for a service at Service Management LevelOptimum allocation of VMs into physical nodes, placement and probability of SLA violation for IaaS providers
We will now go deeper in the all the deployment scenarios
IN a private Cloud scenario, and in fact for all scenarios the starting point is an application that in the case it is developed with the OPTIMIS tools we offer Automatization tools so VMs are generated to run this software and software pre-requisites and contextualisation is done. For the rest of applications the entry point is a set of VMs and what we call a Service Manifest. An XML format that includes an DMTF OVF descriptor, that includes also TREC User requirements as well as legal constraints i.e. the country or the set of countries that can host a given application. At level of deployment this scenario is the simpliest as there is not optimization.
At the level of a multi-cloud the selection is done based on TREC and for Broker scenarios we also consider the possibility of executing an application among mulpiple providers and the Broker orchestrating their execution.
In Bursting and Federation, we consider that the service is executing in a given IaaS provider and because of the need of adding a new VM to scale the service, or to resolve a potential failure or because a pro-active action taken by TREC the IaaS runs out of capacity and needs to move part the application, i.e. a VM, to another provider. The controler the the IaaS level then takes the same role that had in the deployment to select the appropiated provider to burst to.
If it involves more than one provider, and they share resources and the service is an aggregation of two providers offerings we are in a Federation scenario.
So, here I have presented you the architectural vision of OPTIMIS. What are our next steps?First to publish and make available trough our website the first version of these components.And at the level of new features we aim to work in supporting different levels of interoperability with Public Cloud providers. As you can see in my presentation all IaaS providers have been represented as OPTIMIS IaaS providers, which is not realistic at all. For the future we would like two suport two levels of interoperability:With providers that are non. Optimis and have their own enviroments.And with only the partial adoption of part of the toolkit by a providers IaaS component are able for i.e. to be able to sit on top of multiple VM Managers
OF course standards are basic for both tasks and for it SIENA initiative is a reference pointEU-funded SIENA initiative focuses on Cloudinteroperability and standards challengesacts through liaison and collaborationwith the diversity of stakeholders: industrypublic sectorresearchersstandards developmentinteroperability through standards is a long-term solution (and challenge!)short and mid-term solutions exist today through adapters and point-to-point interfaces, but are difficult to sustain
