  • Designing Private and Hybrid Clouds
    Designing Private and Hybrid Clouds Architectural Best Practices Brian Adler Professional Services Architect RightScale, Inc. 1 Abstract The continued expansion of cloud adoption across a broad spectrum of industries and use cases has helped to solidify the establishment of Infrastructure-as-a- Service (IaaS) as a viable, cost-effective, and scalable IT delivery model. As the adoption of public cloud resources has proven effective across a diverse set of use cases, organizations have begun looking inward to find ways to more effectively and efficiently use their existing compute, storage, and networking resources in a similar model. Need breeds options in any industry, and cloud computing is no exception. This desire for internal resource utilization has given rise to numerous private and hybrid cloud technologies that provide tools for on-demand provisioning of compute, storage, and networking resources above and beyond what was available previously in both classic and virtualized datacenters. RightScale, in particular its Professional Services group, has extensive experience helping customers in a variety of industries build private and hybrid clouds and then helping them manage those private and public resources. This white paper describes the considerations that you should make when embarking on the task of creating a private cloud from internal resource pools. It also explains the challenges that you will face at different branches of the decision tree. Additionally, this white paper explores the use cases for the allocation and utilization of these internal resources, focusing in particular on the technological considerations that need to be addressed in the implementation of these use cases. And lastly, it provides a reference architecture for private and hybrid clouds that is the framework for the customized architectures used by many RightScale customers.

    CLOUD COMPUTING 1 Cloud Computing Cloud Computing Question 1 Amazon Web Services (AWS) has provided several significant advantages to Ericsson. First of all, Ericsson has been able to manage its business due to the global infrastructure management services that are provided by AWS. This global infrastructure has enabled Ericsson to save the costs in various aspects of their business and thus, gain huge amount of profit (AWS, 2014). Moreover, due to the services of AWS, Ericsson is now able to develop and launch latest software and applications at any time according to the requirements of the market. AWS has allowed Ericsson to increase and decrease their production according to the variation in demand. In addition, due to the remote access services provided by AWS, consumers of Ericsson can access the cloud based services irrespective of their location. Ericsson has also benefitted from AWS due to the cheap and scalable infrastructure platforms. The data centers of these infrastructures are located in all parts of the world (AWS, 2014). Likewise, the CLOUD COMPUTING 2 Rightscale cloud management platform provided by AWS helped Ericsson substantially to dominate the market of cloud services. Question 2 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud which is more commonly known as EC2 is equipped with various distinguishing features. The most noteworthy feature is a complete environment consisting of memory, processor and software that is already configured. The scalability feature of EC2 can be availed instantly by simply paying for the service before using it. Thus, a lot of time is saved that can be otherwise wasted while buying and booting new server (Varia & Mathew, 2013).

  • Research Paper RESEARCH PAPER 1
    HYBRID CLOUD MANAGEMENT WITH ServiceNow® Practice Head Author Ananth Krishnamoorthy Kaviarasan Selvaraj Director – IT Infrastructure & Marketing Manager Application Support Services Research Paper RESEARCH PAPER 1 Introduction The demand for multiple public and private cloud platforms has been increasing significantly due to rapid growth in adoption of cloud by enterprises. Gartner says by 2020, a corporate “no-cloud” policy will be as rare as a “no-internet” policy is today. Why Enterprises move to the cloud Enterprises are moving rapidly towards the cloud and the reason behind the increase in cloud acceptance is cost, speed, scalability and innovation. Moving to the cloud can reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Infrastructure by 50 to 75% over time. The open source code and ease to develop applications adds as an incentive for enterprises to move towards the cloud. According to cloud research by Datapipe, “External cloud adoption will increase by nearly 46% over the next two years.” Hybrid cloud adoption is on a growth trajectory Today, it’s impossible for any single cloud spending will be 46% of total expenditures platform (open or private) to give developers on enterprise IT infrastructure. Public cloud all that they need. As they build different infrastructure-as-a-service hardware and types of apps on different clouds and software spending will reach 126 billion by legacy platforms, developers will consume 2020. The PaaS maker will reach 7.5 billion by different types of infrastructure and services. 2020, with the APAC region reaching a CAGR According to Forrester’s Survey, “29% of IT of 20.9% through 2020.

  • Top 10 Best Practices for Successful Multi-Cloud Management
    best practices for successful Top 10 multi-cloud management How the multi-cloud world is changing the face of IT Top 10 best practices for successful Overview multi-cloud management A multi-cloud world is quickly becoming the new normal for many enterprises. But embarking on a cloud journey and managing cloud-based services across multiple providers can seem overwhelming. Even the term multi-cloud can be confusing. Multi-cloud is not the same as hybrid cloud. The technical definition of hybrid cloud is an environment that includes traditional data centers with physical servers, private cloud with virtualized servers as well as public cloud provisioned by service providers. Quite often, multi-cloud simply means that an organization uses multiple public clouds from many vendors to deliver its IT services. In other words, organizations can have a multi-cloud without having a hybrid cloud, or they can have a multi-cloud as part of a hybrid cloud. When an organization’s users take the initiative to adopt infrastructure and solutions from different cloud vendors, challenges emerge. Each new cloud service comes with its own tools that can increase complexity. Multi-cloud environments require new management solutions to optimize performance, control costs and secure complicated mixes of applications and environments, regardless of whether they are inside the data center or in the cloud. Today, IT users have a choice. Corporate IT departments know that if they don’t react, they may find themselves irrelevant. As a result, they are moving away from the capital investment model of IT—in which standing up a data center was essential—to assembling a catalog of IT services available from CSPs.
