What we’re hearing from the board room and beyond

How we apply our technology to reduce cost

The options we have

Security, ease of consumption, cost savings and

collaboration are on our minds for today as

budget cuts are the reality

So we can, but why move to cloud?

Two Core Cloud Capabilities two choices within eachDedicated Cloud and Multi-tenanted Cloud

Dedicated Cloud:

Infrastructure dedicated to a specific Customer

Customer may have security specific concerns

Multi-tenanted Cloud:

Customer resides on brightsolid multi-tenanted cloud

Shared infrastructure

Software enables virtual tenant boundaries



Dedicated Cloud

Historically:

Very large customer –economies of scale

Specific hardware requirements

Stringent security requirements

Benefits:

Dedicated architecture ensures security isolation

Zero chance of ‘noisy neighbour’ syndrome

Can be certified to specific security accreditations

Caveats/Limitations:

Dedicated cloud typically doesn’t take advantage of economies of scale

Limits scope for resiliency/can make architecting for resiliency more expensive

Performance benefits that can be delivered by broader design of a multi-tenanted platform aren’t present



Multi-tenanted Cloud

Ideal cloud candidate:

Customers looking to start their journey to the cloud

Customers with a requirement for a strong IaaS Platform

Benefits:

Broad design strategies = economies of scale

Resiliency and performance benefits at economic price point not achievable by dedicated

Future proofed infrastructure –take advantage of future capabilities sooner

Caveats/Limitations:

Standardised hardware reduces scope to customise to customer specific requirements

Cannot be used for VDI scenarios due to licensing issues
