THE BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS:

cloud-inf3IT organizations of all sizes are being challenged to meet escalating business needs while reducing costs and increasing the efficiency of both technical and human resources. For many of these organizations, virtualization and cloud computing provide an efficient cost-effective way to achieve these goals.

Virtualization is the first step and is essential in establishing a flexible cloud-computing environment. The benefits of these two initiatives include:

  • Reduction or elimination of server sprawl
  • Improved infrastructure utilization rates (compute, storage and network)
  • Accelerated infrastructure provisioning (sometimes reduced from months to a day or less)
  • Capital expenditure reduction (lowered physical hardware and data center space requirements)
  • Operational expense reduction (support, maintenance and energy costs)
  • Improved staff efficiency and productivity
  • The ability to manage more information, for a larger end-user community, with a proportionately smaller technical footprint.
  • The ability to offer on-demand self-service applications and capabilities to end-users (ITaaS)

However, a Cloud Deployment roadmap mandates highly skilled developers with knowledge of Devops, OPsWorks and Network Security – a prohibitive yet mandatory cost overhead.
