Gartner is yet to rate a composite play – Public, Private, Hybrid Which no competitor offers across the

SAME Architecture let alone a consistent one

• Dimension Data global private cloud architecture for Microsoft Services • Fully managed and operated by Dimension Data


A Generational Shift to “everything as a Service”

Centralised compute & storage,

thin clients

Technology Impact

Economic Impact

Business Impact

Optimised for efficiency due to

high cost

High upfront costs for hardware and

software

PCs and servers for distributed compute,

storage, etc.

Optimised for agility due to

low cost

Perpetual license for OS and application

software

Large DCs, commodity HW,

scale-out, devices

Order of magnitude better efficiency

and agility

Pay as you go, and only for

what you use

Value Drivers and Outcomes


Who is moving first ?

Faster speed to market • automated provisioning

Self service and deeper user interaction • automated consumption

New revenues and improved charge-backs • utility pricing

Flexible financial model • shifting from capital expense to an

operating expense

Improved responsiveness to business fluctuation • built in elasticity

Lower IT costs and operational efficiency

Improve flexibility, maximise investment

Convergence and innovation • new and existing business offerings

provisioned and delivered by cloud computing

Revenue growth and flexibility • New customer segments, flexible pricing,

economics of scale, elastic scalability and self-service delivered by adapted applications and services

Productivity and alignment • Automated, standardized and streamlined

delivery and consumption of computing services

Venture Capital approach to IT and agility • access to emerging technologies and

computing environments

Innovate / Reduce Cost


Unmanaged usage – Feral IT!

Who bought it? Who authorised it? Where is my data? What jurisdiction is my

contract in? How do I incorporate this

into my workflow and who is paying for operations?

2012 onwards the ramp up got shorter! Global SaaS client (scaled horizontal now vertical)

Signed up for public cloud via promo code – 3 servers Cycle = 1 Day

Today 500 servers across three locations (U.S., EU, AUS) on the Hosted Private +Public Cloud Cycle = 90 Days

In final negotiations to purchase hybrid private cloud Cycle = TBD

We’ve come a long way already…

Exploit IT through

Everything as a Service

From “Accidental Architecture”

To Virtualisation

From IT Agility To

Business Agility


Although business and IT can sometimes be odds .. Cloud can be the bridge or catalyst for the change to IT Service Provider or a step in the move to “Everything as a Service”

There are critical characteristics that make cloud “Cloud” Its not “just fast provisioning” it’s about flexibility and pay for what for you use and eliminating feral IT

Roles and responsibilities will change. The peak load mentality and because “we always do/did/can” excuse must go

IT agility IS business agility. Understand what options and delivery model works for you and start early so that the business does not bypass you in their rush to consume.
