Challenges of Deploying Cloud

Harness benefits of cloud without disrupting current business models

Legacy systems/architecture can’t respond to changing cloud workloads

Networking-as-a-Service becoming key

Desktop/app virtualization/mobility need efficient cloud access

Cloud interoperability is critical

Reference Architecture

Save time Reduce the amount of time to roll out cloud by using a

predesigned architecture

Do it right Leverage the knowledge of subject matter experts for

design & configuration best practices

Know your capabilities Example scaling data helps you understand the

capabilities of your cloud before you even deploy
