◦ Build your crash cart
BUILD on-premises cloud services
CONSUME off-premises services securely
TRANSFORM legacy infrastructure, applications, people and process
MANAGE AND SECURE across legacy applications and cloud assets
Are space, power and cooling sufficiently available?
Are there differentiated reliability levels? Are personnel screened and trained? Are vendors and other clients managed
effectively? What is the connectivity capacity and
topography? What is the availability history of the site? Are SLA’s negotiable and meaningful? Do I trust my data to their management?
Do I have more than two ways to communicate?
How long can I operate with no internet? Can I recover data after the internet is
restored? Is my recovery management dependent on
the network? Are my human resources going to be
available and productive? Am I sure my plan is going to work?
Data demand is driving the cloud The data center is the cloud There will be a significant increase in data
centers, worldwide to meet demand. The major risk is loss of access to data to
run the business and service clients. Network, data and physical security need to
be managed to mitigate real risks. Ask the right questions before committing. Have a valid, tested recovery plan.
