10、tegy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environmentsRecent market trends reflect this perspective.The boundaries between public and private cloud are blurring as the world of cloud evolves.The hyperscalers have moved into the private-cloud market,and established hardware manufacturers are laun

11、ching public-like consumption offerings.At the same time,hyperscalers,telcos and others are pushing edge computing,which is set to grow exponentially over the next five years.In fact,cloud has evolved into a dynamic continuum of capabilitiesfrom public through edge and everything in between and a nu

12、mber of organizations are leading the way by using the cloud not just as a single,static destination,but as a future operating model.Hybrid models are well positioned to support operations in and workload migrations through the Cloud Continuum.What does all of this mean for enterprises?It boils down

13、 to two key realizations:1.For most organizations,hybrid architectures are the only viable option.2.Companies need a holistic strategy that embraces the new hybrid Cloud Continuum,spanning public cloud,private cloud and edge computing.Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud

14、 environments6Defining the right strategyCloud is a critical resource,particularly for those with a desire to expand on the Continuum,but what should an organizations strategy look like?7Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environmentsDefining a cloud strategy involves

15、carefully balancing diverse business demands.Hybrid architectures are a great way to satisfy business needs across all parts of the organization while unlocking innovation.There are a variety of considerations to take into account to get it right:A vision that clearly states the business objectives,

16、desired innovations and future aspirations as well as identifying competitive vulnerabilities.A cloud strategy which has a systematic framework for delivering and measuring business value now and in the future.A clear classification of capabilities,today and in the future,while building in enough fl

17、exibility to adapt over time.A well-considered roadmap for the cloud journey that balances speed and value and supports the overall business strategy and ambition.Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environments8In the Cloud Continuum,complexity is inevitableTo cater fo

18、r all business requirements,hybrid architectures are complex.To set one up,organizations need to find the right combination of cloud services to meet their diverse business and technological needs.9Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environmentsHow are you going to man

19、age the different technology platforms?How much will that cost?Whats the right operating model?How are you going to find the right talent?How will you set up disaster recovery?In a hybrid world,the answers to all of these questions need to be considered holistically.Purposeful hybrid architectures a

20、re more difficult to architect,design,build,set up,test and operate than people had expected.This is partly because the scope of cloud is expanding rapidly,for example,an integrated role-based access control across clouds and on-premises becomes the norm.Before,it was a case of discrete islands:each

21、 company had a data center and a cloud environment.It was pretty straightforward.Now,cloud has become a continuum that offers numerous new opportunities across an increasingly distributed IT landscape.Many organizations use a centralized cloud,a data center,a colocation facility,campus areas,plus so

22、me data and compute resources at the edge.Its a spectrum of environments which,once integrated,add to a truly hybrid estate.Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environments10Defining the right infrastructure strategy to meet business needs and manage complexity can be a

23、ccomplished by focusing on five key steps:Putting it into actionPutting it into action0102030405Selecting the right “landing zones”for applications and dataDefining the optimal hybrid architecture Setup a Continuum Control Plane to manage and optimize all environmentsDefining the right roadmap and s

24、equence of migrationsPlanning for continuous innovation11Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environments01 Defining and selecting the right landing zonesOnce companies have clearly established the business priorities that will drive their cloud strategy,the next step i

25、s working out the architecture needed to support it.Weve established a set of criteria to help organizations define the right target environments and then select the appropriate target for each of their applicationsreferred to as“landing zones”.12Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in

26、hybrid cloud environmentsA landing zone is a client-specific configuration within a cloud,which can be optimized for different purposes(like license cost of a database or usability for developers).Through this process,we look at each companys unique business needs and constraints including legacy ap

27、ps,industry standards and regulatory requirements.Its important to recognize that landing zones will continue evolving over time.What does this mean in practice?A companys three-year target architecture may look different from its six-year target.For example,companies with large legacy ERP environme

28、nts that need replacing know that it will take time.So,the legacy apps may be in three-year target architecture,but not in the six-year one.Another example:some companies have business-critical systems sitting on mainframes.They need to take time carefully planning that migration(or even better mode

29、rnization)to avoid disruption.The sweet spot?Keeping the cloud landing zone strategy as simple as possible,while ensuring all business needs are met.Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environments1302 Defining an optimal hybrid architectureTo define an optimal hybrid a

30、rchitecture means integrating landing zones from one or more public cloud providers,private cloud data centers,co-located data centers and edge computing zones.14Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environmentsThis integration should be done on three levels:First,techno

31、logy.This means developing an integration layer across all landing zones.Second,processes.This means aligning and integrating processes e.g.,the harmonization of provisioning and monitoring.Third,people.The skills needed to engineer,operate and optimize must be made availableeither developed or acqu

32、iredand brought together across the whole of the enterprise.Integrating across these three areas enable companies to dynamically optimize price,performance,and business requirements to meet strategic business goals.Working with an experienced partner can often accelerate this effort by leveraging th

33、eir library of hybrid cloud blueprints.For example,Accenture has developed a vast collection of detailed architectures,technical designs and hundreds of automation and configuration scripts supporting both change areas:technology and process.These blueprints help jumpstart mapping of workloads to la

34、nding zones and navigate complex environments with confidence.Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environments1503 Creating a Continuum Control PlaneOnce companies have identified the appropriate landing zones and planned the integrated architecture to meet those requir

35、ements,next comes another key strategic decision:Creating a control plane to manage the hybrid multi-cloud architecture.Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environments16Each environment comes with its own set of management tools but using all the different ones probabl

36、y isnt a great idea.Its easy to end up with IT management siloes that can make it much harder to control cost,performance and availability.Instead,companies should look for a Continuum Control Plane that can help them manage their full set of landing zones and beyond into the Continuum.A Continuum C

37、ontrol Plane is a holistic approach,meaning tool stack and processes,to managing the cloud continuum,orchestrating change and driving innovation.It allows developers and operators to automate common tasks and workflows,at scale,regardless of location,by bringing together new processes and a better i

38、ntegrated set of tools,enabled through new platforms and automation.A Continuum Control Plane helps organizations embrace new practices and operating modelsgiving them the means and discipline to rapidly innovate and support a culture of continuous reinvention across the Cloud Continuum.It enables o

39、rganizations to balance their need for operational and financial stability with their need for rapid innovation and agility.The control plane address both requirements.It embraces automation and self-service to holistically secure,operate and govern a hybrid,multi-cloud estate(stabilize)and to optim

40、ize and continuously harness innovation across multiple private and public cloud providers(agility).Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environments1704 Defining the right roadmap and sequenceNext up?Deciding how to organize the migration to the optimized landing zones.

41、Considering multiple landing zones,which evolve over time,multiple steps may be required on a long-term plan for an application.18Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environmentsAlso,in some cases,it makes sense to look at families of applications together for example,i

42、f a business process spans three applications.Occasionally,a new Software-as-a-Service offering may replace several smaller applications.In some cases,it can be more cost-effective to rethink a business process,rather than customize a solution to fit an existing process.Its also important to conside

43、r the operating model.How are you going to shift from managing horizontal layers towards vertical service-oriented management?Will you use DevSecOps?To what degree?Which skills/people are you going to need?How will you build full-stack management teams?These are just some of the questions to conside

44、r.19Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud environmentsYour business doesnt stand still.Neither should your IT.05 Planning for continuous innovationOnce companies have reached their target state,they can continuously harness new innovations from multiple private-and public

45、-cloud providers.This means constantly re-engineering infrastructure to maintain alignment to the business as strategic goals shift and new technologies are introduced to the estate.With this said,a“target state”is not defined by a technology stack,but by the resilience of your processes and the ada

46、ptiveness of your people to continuously evolve within the Cloud Continuum.With a Continuum Control Plane you build a solid foundation for this evolution without having to reengineer time and again,when a new cloud service comes along.20Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid clo

47、ud environmentsMore and more organizations are recognizing that hybrid architectures are the right option to meet their diverse business needs today and tomorrow.So,the question becomes not whether to use a hybrid architecture,but how to consciously build and successfully manage one.By nature,hybrid

48、 architectures are complex.Its vital to keep them as simple as possible,and plan how to manage complexity rather than neglecting it exists.This will keep the business secure,lean and agile.Embracing hybrid as the path forward 21Many clouds,one strategy:How to unlock innovation in hybrid cloud enviro
