  • How to Formulate Your Cloud Strategy
    How to Formulate Your Cloud Strategy A methodology for migrating IT services to the cloud A WHITE PAPER BY CLOUD CRUISER Executive Summary As cloud computing accelerates, and its value becomes better known and understood, both the hype and the economic need pressure IT to begin migration of some applications or utility services to cloud platforms. Moving the wrong services could result in huge and expensive troubles, but failing to move the right services could mean lost opportunities. So, how do you evaluate and select the right IT services to move? In this paper, we’ve put together a methodology to pick the right services for migration to cloud- based platforms. We’ll consider the major service categories, such as data and applications, as well as how they rank in importance to the business. This paper is business case-focused, meaning the migration to the cloud should have a clear business benefit. We’ll provide concepts to better understand the value proposition for the use of cloud-based platforms, as well as suggest approaches and tools that will help you understand the existing state of your IT assets. You’ll also learn how you can benefit from moving some or most of these services to public, private, and hybrid cloud platforms, and how to monitor that value once your cloud-based systems are in production. Introduction Many in IT find it hard to translate their own enterprise to do a self-evaluation. The existing business needs into a true migration examples in this paper use that tool, and we’ll plan.

  • Cloud Cruiser Achieves Escape Velocity to the HPE System WILLIAM FELLOWS 24 JAN 2017 Cloud Cruiser Has Been Acquired by Its Largest Customer
    451 RESEARCH REPRINT REPORT REPRINT Cloud Cruiser achieves escape velocity to the HPE system WILLIAM FELLOWS 24 JAN 2017 Cloud Cruiser has been acquired by its largest customer. When the transaction closes, it will become a part of the Data Center Care portfolio within Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Technology Services Support organization. THIS REPORT, LICENSED EXCLUSIVELY TO HPE, DEVELOPED AND AS PROVIDED BY 451 RESEARCH, LLC, SHALL BE OWNED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY 451 RESEARCH, LLC. THIS REPORT IS SOLELY INTENDED FOR USE BY THE RECIPIENT AND MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED OR REPOSTED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY THE RECIPIENT, WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION FROM 451 RESEARCH. ©2017 451 Research, LLC | WWW.451RESEARCH.COM 451 RESEARCH REPRINT Hewlett Packard Enterprise didn’t taken long to turn CEO Meg Whitman’s words into action. At HPE Discover, she reiterated that services remain very important for HPE, and it is looking to expand its tech- nology services operation (the HPE support services business), which is not part of the spinoff/merger with CSC/Micro Focus. This week it acquired its cloud cost management and optimization partner Cloud Cruiser for an undisclosed sum. When the transaction closes, Cloud Cruiser will become a part of the Data Center Care portfolio within HPE’s technology services support organization. Cloud Cruiser co- founder and CEO David Zabrowski (who served as VP and general manager of HP’s enterprise computer organization from 1997-2002) will report to Scott Weller, SVP of technology services support, HPE. It’s a wonder that it has taken this long for HPE to pick up Cloud Cruiser, given the investment it has made in its Helion Cloud Suite and Cloud Services Automation management tools, which are emerg- ing as a comprehensive cloud management platform.

Anyway, so let’s get started today. So I appreciate everyone coming downtown here to the New York Stock Exchange and for those of you joining us on the web. So I think I know most of you, but I’m Andy Simanek. I’m head of investor relations here and I would just like to welcome everybody to the 2019 Hewlett-Packard Enterprise securities analyst meeting.

  • Seeing—And Seizing—The Emerging Consumption-Based IT Delivery Opportunities for the Large Enterprise
    Seeing—and Seizing—the Emerging Consumption-Based IT Delivery Opportunities for the Large Enterprise A WHITE PAPER PREPARED BY CLOUD CRUISER, INC. JULY 2014 Contents Introduction 1. The Changing Role of Large Enterprise IT 2. The Emergence of Consumption-Based IT Service Delivery 3. The Business Trends Behind Consumption-Based IT Service Delivery 4. The Benefits of Consumption-Based IT Service Delivery 5. Seizing the Consumption-Based IT Service Delivery Opportunity Conclusion About Cloud Cruiser “Indeed the first rule of survival is clear: nothing is more dangerous than yesterday’s success.” – Alvin Toffler Executive Summary Whether an enterprise has moved to cloud computing, chosen (for the present) to remain with traditional IT computing, or embraced a traditional/cloud hybrid approach, mastering consumption-based IT service delivery is a must in order to thrive in this era of accelerating IT transformation. To meet the considerable challenges involved, large-enterprise CFOs, CIOs, and their IT teams will need both to develop appropriate IT strategies and to take full advantage of a new generation of IT tools that can provide far greater clarity, control, and choice, especially in such areas as financial management. Specifically, they need tools that can help them as they perform such tasks as planning for data center consolidation, negotiating volume discounts from public cloud providers, comparing costs across service providers, and assisting lines of businesses (LOBs) in making better procurement and other decisions. As technologies evolve and competitive pressures intensify, such tools are fast becoming an absolute necessity. In a way, the situation is like rowing upstream: not to advance with the help of these kinds of tools is to drop back.
