Contents • Overview • Definition and a Cloud Computing Model • Services and Deployment Models • Business Drivers and Adoption Challenges • Making Legacy Application “Cloud Aware” • A Case Study • Innovation and Outsourcing Recommendations • The New Economies • Clarity of Objective • Developing a Roadmap and Key Recommendations 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

  3. What Is Cloud Computing? • No commonly accepted definition of cloud computing, either business or technical • Definitions are beginning to distinguish between infrastructure and services • Clouds are hardware-based services offering compute, network and storage capacity where: • Hardware management is highly abstracted from the buyer • Buyers incur infrastructure costs as variable OPEX • Infrastructure capacity is highly elastic (up or down) 3 3

  4. Cloud Computing Model Virtualization of Processing, Storage, and Network Resources

  5. Cloud Computing Model –Levels of Abstraction Software-as-a-Service Processing, Storage, Network Resources Increasing Levels of Abstraction Platform-as-a-service Infrastructure-as-a-Service

  6. Cloud Services Existing end user services market, delivered from/off the cloud Software-as-a-Service Outsourced Application Development Environment Platform-as-a-service Two emerging cloud-infrastructure-as-a-service markets Rent raw computing resources CPU, Storage, Network… Infrastructure-as-a-Service Traditional data center services market, such as collocation or managed hosting Physical infrastructure

  7. Cloud Services - Mapping Users to Services

  8. Cloud Services -Mapping Vendors to Services 8 8

  9. Deployment Models • Private (internal) cloud • The cloud infrastructure is operated within the consumer’s organization • Public cloud • The cloud infrastructure is owned by an organization selling cloud services to the general public or to a large industry group • Hybrid cloud • The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (internal, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability 9

  10. When to use what deployment model Source: IBM Whitepaper, March 2009

  11. Business Drivers • Faster Time To Market • Almost immediate access to hardware and software resources • Lower Up Front Costs • Limited to No upfront capital costs • Pay per use billing • Possibility of New Business Models • IT Services Marketplace • Easier Scale-out Capabilities • Scale services as a function of user demand 11 11

  12. Adoption Challenges • Financial • Current cloud computing offerings may not be cost effective compared to large enterprise data centers • Capex vs. Opex • ROI • Technical • Legacy applications must be made “Cloud aware” • Security and reliability concerns – business-critical data is “out there” • Operational • Compliance: data across national boundaries, data co-mingling • Licensing and capacity planning • Organizational • IT supply and demand organizations will have to adapt to function in a cloud-centric world 12 12

  13. Summit is a multi-asset class solution from Misys, PLC • Integrated front-to-back office solution for Treasury and Capital Market participants • Distributed CORBA-based application developed in C, C++, and .Net. • Large monolithic application – 12.7 million LOC • Summit has been developed over a period of 20 years Exotics & Hybrids (MUST) Fixed Income Treasury Derivatives Lending Bonds MTNs Repos MBS/ABS GICS Loans & Deposits FX MM Securities Interest Rates Credit Currency Equity Bond & Commodity Syndicate Loans Bilateral Loans Trading – Pricing, Trading, P&L, Positions, Hedging Risk – Market Risk, Credit Risk, VaR, Limits, Collateral Operations – Workflow, Settlement, Reporting, Accounting Rules based workflow Making Legacy Application “Cloud Aware”A Case Study Background

  17. Making Legacy Application “Cloud Aware”A Case Study Target Architecture 17

  18. Innovating in the Cloud – The New Economies • Last recession and tentative recovery has forced business to look for greater value and more cost savings • 78% of IT managers believe economic uncertainty makes SaaS more appealing – ScanSafe • Most IT shops • Capital and labour intensive • Complex • Have a mixed record • Cloud computing maybe overhyped but “headline” potential economies of scale are irresistible • 20-50% savings over traditional outsourcing • Outsourcing industry needs to drive more value • Must drive further and align behind business value • Must move from passive to proactive and innovative • Transition to a managed outcome model

  19. Clarity of Objective • In deciding on how “cloud” may help your organisation innovate, there are 3 main areas to consider: • The dynamics of the business • Volumes, drivers, demand elasticity, location, available capital • Design practicalities of the solution • Complexity, customisation, integration, data movement • Sourcing criteria • Price, flexibility, security, reliability, availability, contract terms • As with any other initiative, focus on • The business problem at hand • Clarity of business objectives (cost, flexibility, risk, benefit) • Practicality , feasibility • Develop roadmap from on premise to cloud that builds consensus

  20. Developing a Roadmap • Analyse cost of delivered IT services • Detail every service provided by IT as a cost per service • Consider labour, licensing, maintenance, services, infrastructure, power etc • Rationalise and prioritise services • Categorise based upon key factors • Consider strategic importance, highly differentiating services, future potential , performance, security, back office/support functions • Assess potential for evolving to cloud • Consider financials, security, risk, data, integration and transition and operational impacts • Assess these for external cloud , private, hybrid • Share findings with stakeholders and share responsibility to reduce cost per service • Execution • Timeline for each service • Begin modernisation and • Experiment and learn with cloud trials • Leverage Partners to maximise Innovation

  21. IT Services Providers Can Add Enormous Value • Cloud computing ecosystem changing by the day • You need partners to advise, guide and share risk IT service providers are developing experience in cloud • Resources and methodologies and libraries • Partnerships with technology vendors • Experience cutting through the hype Partner management and monitoring will be critical in delivering low risk, constantly evolving, innovative cloud based services • Alignment, measurement and contractual arrangements will be complex • Well chosen partners can help insulate you from risks • Collaboration between technology companies and service providers will be common • Be clear about the roles of each partner

  22. Outsourcing for Cloud Innovation • Establish clear outsourcing goals across key stakeholders • Based on detailed analysis and roadmap • Develop business cases for initiatives/services and evaluate vendors/solutions against this • Engage vendors on managed outcome based contracts • Metrics are critical but need evolving • Contracts are still immature • Look for greater business value and proactivity • Cloud is still evolving so avoid the hype and tread carefully • Keep strategically important services close • Clarity and communication across all stakeholders and partners will improve success
