Suncorp is Australia's largest insurance provider and leading regional bank, with 15,000 employees, $96 billion in assets, and 9 million customers across Australia and New Zealand. Last year, the company announced intentions to move its entire infrastructure to AWS. In this session, a Suncorp cloud architect discusses the hybrid IT approach that allows Suncorp to use AWS while satisfying strict IT compliance requirements. He shares the thinking, challenges and roadmap related to Suncorp's use of NetApp Private Storage (NPS) for AWS for enterprise-wide disaster recovery, dual data centers for redundancy and compliance, and plans for enterprisewide production workloads in phase two of the company's cloud transition. Learn why making application architecture changes and moving workloads to AWS is quicker and easier when your on-premises storage platform is consistent with your cloud storage platform. Session includes a demo of the NPS for AWS solution used by Suncorp as well as a discussion f the latest public and hybrid cloud developments available to customers. Sponsored by NetApp.

Cloud vision approved
• Move to NetApp
• Replace 80% legacy storage with NetApp
• 7 data centers reduced to 2
—“The broader your vision the clearer your purpose”
Suncorp becomes one of the first Australian companies to automate on-premises infrastructure capabilities;
Suncorp chooses NetApp

Applications not “cloud ready”…
We are not a startup; we have a lot of existing applications that are not
“cloud ready,” however they are not considered to be legacy either
As a company we have regulatory, risk, and legal challenges that
influence where and how our data can be stored

• Fast failover on DX
outage (5–20 sec)
• Systems with data that must remain in house for regulatory compliance
• Systems which require a current nth copy of data in another provider
• Large volumes (without using the OS volume manager)
• Shared file systems within AWS (CIFS or NFS)
• Shared file systems across cloud…?
• Everything else
• Leverage the newly announced (and free!) OnCommand Cloud Manager
(OCCM)
• Use NPS as part of our cloud-capable data bunker strategy
• Consolidate (perhaps collapse) our NearStore hardware for a similar NetApp

may also incorporate the new Cloud ONTAP virtual appliance
