Venera Cloud Usage Patterns

This document discusses various cloud usage patterns including outsourcing enterprise applications to SaaS providers for cost savings and reduced IT management, using PaaS for highly available and elastic websites with some operational responsibilities left to the customer, using IaaS for staging areas, cloud bursting during peak demand, off-site storage, and disaster recovery. It also covers using CDNs and cloud for bandwidth extension, and leveraging cloud for large-scale data processing and storage.

• Data: migration, mirrored data
• Process: transaction queue / real time
• User: credentials, entitlement
• UI: corporate design, integration on the
glass (gadgets)
Highly available
elastic web site
• Business driver: Elasticity
• Yes to high availability
• No to over provisioning
• Assume some operational responsibility
• Optional integration
• Preferences dictate solution
Highly available
elastic web site
yes Have web no
site?

Preferences

IaaS PaaS
Highly available
elastic web site
• PaaS: not trivial to migrate applications
• Vendor does almost all heavy lifting
• Who do you trust more?

• Google App Engine: Java, Python


• Microsoft Azure: C#, ASP.NET, php, Java
Highly available
elastic web site
• IaaS: not trivial to manage infrastructure
• Some heavy lifting left to customer

• Almost any application can be moved to


cloud, rework not mandatory
Web site
Bandwidth extension
• CDN = Content Delivery Network
• Cloud gives performance boost at sane
prices
– static content
– heavy downloads
– heavy uploads
– media streaming
Staging area in cloud
• Development, test, QA
• Test patches, upgrades, versions
• Evaluate new software
• IaaS is the only viable option
• Release IT bottleneck
• Secure connection to Datacenter
• Data security
• Data Integration
Cloud Bursting
• Allocate production resources during
peak demand
• Predictable vs. Unpredictable
• Hybrid cloud model ?
• IaaS is the only viable option
• Scalability, Bandwidth
• Security
• Certification
Off-site storage
• Backup, Archiving, Data set publishing

• Integration with existing infrastructure


• Security
• Import/Export functions
Disaster Recovery
• Reminds Cloud bursting
– Different time frame
• IaaS is the only viable option
• What’s included? (app, data, AD,…)
• Infrastructure considerations
– Scalability less of an issue
• Modify backup and recovery procedures
Data crunching
