By 2019, the APEJ market for public cloud IaaS will be USD4,387m with compounded annual growth rate of 24.1%1
There are a host of IaaS providers in the market, each with two primary differentiators:
• Tools to simplify the on-boarding process e.g. data seeding and de-dupe
• Tools that ease the process of exiting
• Adherence to generic (ISO 27001) and industry specific standards (GS007)
• Integration to DR and BCaaS offerings
• Data encryption management
Many of rhipe’s vendor partners have products in the IaaS space. Several factors will determine which option is right for you:
Delivering integrity of the IaaS Platform in the event of service failure.
XenServer and NetScaler are an alternative to HyperV or vSphere and provide secure load balancing, managed entry points and identity management capabilities.
Sophisticated load balancing, centralised control and proactive monitoring for all load environments.
Enabling services providers to deliver services to third parties using Microsoft software.
Complete end to end solution stack for building out Private, Public and Hybrid clouds.
Visibility and management of network traffic within service provider infrastructure.
High scale, high configuration flexibility from bare metal upwards.
vCloud Service Provider Bundles including vSphere, vCenter and vCloud Director provide a common platform for service provider cloud deployments.
In the same way that businesses outsource shipping logistics to reap the benefits of scalability, consumption based costing and no capital costs, they are turning to IT and asking whether there are similar options available. Who you need to talk to:
The Board
The Board has a fiduciary duty of care, skill and diligence with respect to the business.
Finance
The move to a consumption model created financial opportunities but also raises questions.
IT
Budgets are tightly managed, however there is growing expectation to deliver quality services to the business.
Line of Business Managers
Operations and team leaders are increasingly technology aware.
Understanding this shift from technology to business led decision making and delivering solutions that are closely aligned to these three business outcomes will be key to the ongoing success of technology suppliers and cloud service providers.
Sales
Control panels and self service
Risk
Resources allocated across public, private and on-premises infrastructure
Costs
Revisit previously non-viable projects
