Agenda

Cloud adoption continues to grow… but not fast enough
73%Organizations are
already using the cloud
17%Organizations plan
to start using the cloud
in the next 12 months
https://www.idg.com/tools-for-marketers/2018-cloud-computing-survey/

Applications that are sensitive
to latency and variability in latency
Need for near real time
responses to end user applications
Need to control on-site equipment
Need to communicate with
other on-premises systems
Applications that
process data locally
Need to ensure integrity of ingested signal
(e.g., at live events before broadcasting)
Need to reliably process messages from
industrial equipment to monitor production
Need for managing local data stores
Applications that need to remain on premises

Customer challenges with on-premises applications
Don’t have the same services and APIs to build
applications on-premises as in the cloud
Don’t have the same tools for automation, deployment,
and security controls as in the cloud
Different code and processes for on-premises and cloud
applications creates friction and operational risk
Complex procurement and provisioning
cycles across a 6–12 vendors and months to
get servers installed on-premises
Significant overhead to patch and upgrade
on-premises infrastructure against a
complex ‘compatibility matrix’ across
various hardware and software components
Application maintenance downtime
to safely upgrade impacts business
continuity and operations
Pace of innovation on premises lags that in the cloud
Business
DevelopersIT Infrastructure

Customers want the same experience across
