The potentials that holds the private cloud in be, virtually impose: better use of existing IT resources, high flexibility and elasticity for sudden, unpredictable needs and minimizing the planning and deployment times by standardization and catalogs for standard services. Reason to think enough about a cloud model. directly informed: a private cloud can completely replace already the classical architectures? Elaine Berdon: Yes, that is possible. The direct group has such projects carried out in data centers in the area of IaS. Every client received his own virtual Datacenter with an own Web shopping cart and a service catalogue of services, through which he can order standard services quickly and easily. directly informed: how to evaluate the integration of public cloud services into an existing IT infrastructure? Elaine Berdon: Here I see a possibility, E.g. peak requirements, test environments, or to outsource non-critical applications in the public cloud.
The cloud is used as a kind of elastic buffer. Prerequisite is that there is a standardization or agreement, as E.g. application servers in a different cloud can be moved if necessary technologically completely differently constructed. directly informed: what is your IT vision for IT operations using cloud computing, in five years? Elaine Berdon: My vision is that the use of IT services in the cloud will be moved because of the huge cost advantage. Larger companies and organizations will first move their infrastructure (IaS) services and also their applications largely in their own private clouds. Standard software such as Microsoft Office 365 is also involved in companies in the private cloud. Smaller companies and individuals will take advantage of the cheap offers, such as Google Docs, from the public cloud. The cloud applications run in the Internet browser on any devices.
Everything what a device is needed Minimal operating system with a browser. With HTML5, the application such as on a desktop will behave (rich client). “With Google chrome Operating System” is already being used a minimalist OS browser on the market. The classic desktop will recede into the background. An Apple or Android tablet will suffice. directly informed: Mr Berdon, how did himself which directly group set up on the subject of cloud computing? Elaine Berdon: The right group possesses extensive experience in migration management and IT automation. We offer the customers a cloud-readiness analysis that shows the potential of a cloud implementation. In the implementation phase, we can take control of the project for the technical and operative part or also only an advisory capacity to assist. Our process model, which we cleverly connect the internally existing at the customer qualification with external possibilities, has proven itself in many projects. More to the NIST definition of cloud computing on the right which directly group Group consults, implements and operates complex Infrastructure and supports its customers in the field of marketing and communication.
