Generation Network5 Practical Lessons
Preparation is key to achieving your goals
Have a roadmap that allows you to replace, not just add services. Encourage and
support cloud services adoption amongst users. Look for utility services models.
Plan for services aggregation, data integration and migration
Rationalise your existing estate in preparation. Prepare your identity management,
network, IT support applications and integration platforms for cloud.
Get the most out of Virtualisation
If you are going for private cloud, consider that virtualisation on it’s own will get you
90% of your cost savings. Build in self-service to reduce user support costs.
Look to move up the ?aaS stack
It is the application and business process services that add value to your users.
Platforms and Infrastructure add cost, complexity.
Negotiate your contracts, control consumption, and watch your costs!
Contract commercials are negotiable within limits. Costs will quickly escalate if you
don’t work hard to manage consumption. Watch out for the hidden costs and optional
extras.
v1 5.9.11The Cloud needs a different, conscious approach
Understanding and safely navigating the cloud,
knowing what works and where,
and the practicalities of service migration, integration and support
are the required new skills in a cloud service world.
