What should I look for in a service provider?


When choosing a service provider for cloud computing services, there are three key requirements:
1. Compatibility and portability of your existing VMware virtual machines. You want it to be easy to put your existing applications into the cloud with little or no changes. It should also be easy to move workloads back to your own organization to avoid getting “locked in”.
2. Security and transparency of the cloud platform. You should understand the security controls and have access to logs and other information so you can conduct an audit. You should also get fine-grained control of what each user can do and be able to define a firewall and network topology for groups of cooperating virtual machines.
3. Self-service capabilities while retaining control of cloud resource consumption. You want to be able to delegate responsibility and control to individuals within your organization while setting bounds on the compute, memory and storage consumption.

What best practices are available?


We apply best practices from VMware’s dedicated consulting practice for cloud, which has harvested extensive real-world best practices in helping enterprises and service providers design, architect and build cloud environments. These best practices cover the following areas:
1. Strategy – Aligning business needs with IT capability.
2. Process – Streamlining and automating processes to achieve business agility.
3. Architecture – Establishing an enterprise architecture for this new IT infrastructure.
4. Technology – Designing and deploying your technology infrastructure from virtualization to cloud.
5. People and Governance – Creating the roles and skills necessary to ensure company-wide adoption, and the accountability framework and policies for stakeholder collaboration.

How do I get started?


Today, there are four typical starting points for cloud computing:
• Supporting isolated projects with limited scope and budget
• Providing business applications as a service
• Re-architecting IT infrastructure services
• Creating business-transforming initiatives with organizational impact
There is no wrong way to get started. The important thing is to figure out which approach is best suited for your organization based on business strategy and readiness for cloud computing.
