Private cloud services will be the cornerstone of future public cloud services

Gartner's definition of public cloud computing is a computing paradigm in which scalable and resilient IT capabilities serve as a service that can deliver multiple external customers over the Internet. Private cloud computing, also defined as a computing paradigm, delivers this service capability to a specific customer or a customer over the Internet.

Tom Bittman, senior analyst at Gartner, said: "The promise of cloud computing means that the existing IT infrastructure and processes can be easily replaced by the cloud. However, the future of the enterprise will be a combination of IT architecture. Large enterprises still let IT departments manage and deploy internal IT resources, some of which are private clouds. The IT department will also be tasked with IT service procurement tasks, determining when to leverage external providers, when to deploy it internally, and when to leverage both to achieve specific services.

Private cloud services will be the cornerstone of future public cloud services, over time, the resources of private and public clouds will be mixed or interleaved. For many large enterprises, public cloud services are likely to co-exist with private cloud services for many years, perhaps decades, as they mature.

Gartner analysts point out that proper investments in private cloud computing will make it easier for businesses to gradually adopt public cloud services in the future. For a certain time, the use of cloud services, enterprises should wait for the external cloud service products tend to mature at the same time, assess the development of private cloud services return on investment.

Tom Bittman goes on to say: "Much of the investment in private cloud computing prepares businesses to deploy public cloud computing. These investments are not just technological changes, but also changes in processes, cultures and business interfaces. Deciding these changes should not be late sooner will help companies make better-informed cloud purchasing decisions and at the same time likely make the transition to public cloud computing a success.

Businesses must also recognize that some IT services are doomed to cloud computing models, while others are destined to be more integrated and closely interact with the business. Once you have identified a particular service that needs to go through the cloud, you need to decide whether to wait for more mature cloud services to emerge or to develop private cloud services as early as possible, and determine which one is more helpful to your business.

Tom Bittman added: Each cloud service will have a different future roadmap Some cloud services should be more tightly integrated with the business, customized and diversified. Others should focus on independence, simple interfaces, standardization and non-customization, and are therefore potential cloud service candidates as well.

To make the choice, Tom Bittman said large companies will need to establish a dynamic sourcing service sourcing team to determine their day-to-day outsourced sourcing plans that will leverage cloud computing services to meet the needs of the enterprise business and thus require relevant cloud computing services Business and technical expertise.

Small businesses are unlikely to have the skills necessary to effectively deliver cloud services, and instead they will use outsourced services to take care of the different levels of service in the business. Service outsourcing providers may have industry-specific skills that monetize the skills of higher cloud services to monetize their value versus the skills of small businesses and continue to find the best service delivery model in rapidly changing markets , In order to keep the lowest possible cost.

As the CIO and IT leaders in charge of infrastructure and operations pondered the future of enterprise cloud services, Tom Bittman suggested focusing on the three-point plan of action. The three-point plan of action is:

just now

Conduct a cloud test to find out where in the enterprise cloud-like services have been used

Lead the organization's cloud service plan across organizations

The next 90 days

Use virtualization technology to promote IT modernization

Product integration

Research and develop services and private cloud service strategy

Identify new business opportunities for cloud computing

The next 12 months

Develop overall cloud computing strategy

Establish a dynamic service outsourcing plan
