Essential Characteristics
On-demand self-service Broad network access Resource pooling Rapid Elasticity Measured service (me) multi-tenancy, customers or BUs

Bridging Private and Public Cloud

Open Data Center Alliance

Independent consortium of IT users Formed last year Just issued first round usage models

Bridging Private and Public Cloud

ODCA
Virtual Machine Interoperability Reduce risk and effort

Bridging Private and Public Cloud

Should you build a bridge?

In spite of heated debate, a good question Cons
Newness Immaturity

Pros
Potential competitive advantage Potential IT resiliance

Bridging Private and Public Cloud

Test and dev

x86 server virtualization sets the foundation Rapid provision (not so rapid de-provision) Developer need outstripping ingrained IT procedure Using a credit card to open capacity doors

Can we cloud burst?

Building for normal, not peak load Spin up/spin down workloads Licensing Patch/update Management The Holiday Rush and SLAs

Bridging Private and Public Cloud

Intangible tangibles
Selling the insurance policies
Business continuity Disaster recovery

Related to cloud bursting My best guess

Elasticity at a single entity Migrations will tend to be one way to the public cloud

Challenges
Emerging technology Synchronizing workloads between platforms Security Regulation
