Enterprise Data Centers Are Evolving

Cloud

Consumerization

Any device computing (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, thin client…)

Any make, model, brand or endpoint OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, etc…)

Mix of business and personal use on an endpoint device

Cloud

User shouldn’t have to care “where” their information resides Data should reside where it makes most economical and business sense for the organization (ie: Public cloud or Private cloud)

IT needs to be able to manage and support properties regardless where it resides (single view for all servers, data, and devices anytime, anywhere)

Development Management

Virtualization

A Single View of Physical, Virtual, and

Public and Private Clouds

Cloud On Your Terms

Where do you to start?

How do you know when you get there?

Where are you headed?

 Take what you did 5-years ago and remember why you did it (security, policies,

standardization, compliance, management)

 Step forward to today where you have a broader range of devices (Macs, iPads, tablets, BYOD, etc)

 Apply the same standards to the current

environment (attempting to do as much as you can with a single solution instead of multiple solutions)

 Apply a cloud-based solution if the cloud

offering does it better / cheaper / smarter than doing the same thing on-premise

 Continue to evaluate technology offerings to

evolve your IT strategy over time
