Non-Critical Workloads Only?

Cloud isn t only for Dev / Test,

consider Mission Critical uses

(combined with business continuity

capabilities off-Cloud).

Community Cloud?

PatternsImplementation

Governance

CapEx ZeroPay per use and subscription

model IT rather than big up

front lump sums.

Flexi-WorkingGet to work via the internet,

regardless of location, using

any device.

Disaster RecoveryRobust backup and recovery

without the need for expertise.

Flexi-ScaleScale up or down, in or out –

operational agility baked in

Maintenance Automation

of patches, security and

software updates.

SecurityAs secure as On Premises, with

joint responsibility for defence in

depth. Negate the impact of lost or

compromised devices.

Collaborate!Share and workflow documents

and data anytime, from anywhere,

updating and sharing a vision in

real time.

CompetitivenessEnterprise-class technology for all. Punch

above your weight or connect dispersed

siloes to create an organisation that s greater

than the sum of its parts.

Cloudy Technical Perspectives

Overloaded and misused terms

complicate the understanding of

Cloud Platform ecosystems and

their capabilities.

Cloud Everything ...isn t necessarily a sensible strategy, Cloud

may not be right for your business at all.

Consider ICT maturity, TCO, change agility,

budgeting – measure bang for buck carefully.

Migrate to GainLift and Shift migration to the

Cloud doesn t necessarily infer

Cloud benefits – you may need

to rewrite!

Egg BasketsOne Cloud service approach and

one vendor may not be a sensible

strategy, leverage the breadth of

options available.
