cloud computing adoption in 2018.
Why?

7. NIST Cloud Definition
“Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,
convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources (e.g.,
networks, servers, storage, applications, and
services) that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction”

8. 4 Reasons to Go Cloud
1. Mobility
2. Costs
3. Security
4. Process

9. Cloud Mobility

34. Cloud Costs
Necessitate User Management
• Cloud users underestimate the amount of wasted cloud
spend. Respondents estimate 30 percent waste, while
RightScale has measured actual waste between 30 and 45
percent.
• Despite an increased focus on cloud cost management, only
a minority of companies are taking critical actions to
optimize cloud costs, such as shutting down unused
workloads or selecting lower-cost clouds or regions.
• Optimizing cloud costs is the top initiative across all cloud
users (53 percent) and especially among mature cloud users
(64 percent).

47. Mental Challenges With
Cloud Adoption
• Moving from a commercial
model and mindset of “buying” a
piece of software to a “pay-as-
you-consume” business case
• Moving from a mindset of
“owning” data (on our premises
and servers), to place of being a
sovereign guardian over data.
• Moving from the idea of heavily
customizing “our” system to the
idea of configuring flexibly to
allow constant improvement and
upgrade
