1 Migration to Cloud Computing: Roadmap for Success Mohammed Elazab, Professor Emeritus Higher Technological Institute, Tenth of Ramadan, Egypt President, Human and Technology Development Foundation Chairman, The Tenth International E-Learning and Cloud Computing Conference

2 1 Cloud Computing Through 4 Applications Storage Security costs 4 Developers 2 3 IT centers Cloud service provider New applications

3 Sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of, scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid)

4 There is no comprehensive tool to handle the entire migration process

5 Cloud Computing key characteristics Self service Pay per use Infinite scalability Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Platform as a service (PaaS) Software ware as a service (SaaS) Pooling of resources Remote data centres

6 SaaS planning tips Look for service-oriented architectures (SOA), web services standards, and web application frameworks Because they re easy to integrate Make sure you own your data A variety of approaches ways to improve efficiencies Ability For Sharing Has all the features you want Customize the application Make Sure the client owns the data without a time limit

7 PaaS planning tips Implement a secure, development-life cycle methodology for your applications that are hosted in the cloud lease capacity as needed Compare how well vendor tools enable portability across clouds providers help to develop more custom Web apps integrate Web services and databases to create new services. Plan to scale your service evaluate the cloud provider s compliance Some providers may not allow you to take your application and put it on another platform.

8 IaaS planning tips Create a strong internal team to manage your security and compliance requirements Plan an exit strategy pay-per-use pricing Look for Who meet your demands service providers How your current system works before you outsource Choose cloud provider Negotiate service-level agreements (SLAs) to ensure you get the level of security and identity management required by your organization. Weigh the impact to your IT organization

9 How a cloud migration affects existing data center infrastructure Application and data center configuration management The performance price per gigabyte in storage and backup manage good programming tools monitoring and rapid troubleshooting networks and Staff may need training storage servers, firewall rules Rubric and Student Portfolio

10 Planning for migration Cloud migration checklist Cloud migration strategy Migration challenges Rethink governance and security Choose your cloud flavor Evaluate costs Applicatio n or data "Public clouds are homogenous; private clouds are heterogeneous." Rubric and Student Portfolio

11 BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING FOR INSTITUTIONS AND STUDENTS Data security is imperative. Cloud providers will target users with unsolicited or advert sing, institution will become locked-in to the products of a particular provider End user satisfaction Concentration on core business Lower environmental impact Enhanced availability RISKS OF CLOUD COMPUTING Elasticity begin with small-scale services Economies pay per use Rubric and Student Portfolio

12 GUIDELINES FOR SELECTION AND DEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD SERVICES Costs Contract User experience and accessibility Technical issues Platform Functionality..

13 Stepping into the clouds The road to the cloud looks good. Combining the flexibility of the cloud and the power of on-premise software, your educational institution can map a cloud strategy that works. Integrate cloud services Talk to peers and find ways to share How long it might take to recoup your investment Budget for the cloud Evaluate a Web service or hosted application Justify cloud services Think big especially if you re a small educational institution. Cloud services are massively scalable. Who else might benefit? Keep other departments or districts in the loop.

14 It s time to come up with a migration game plan and determine migration timeframes for data and applications. It's often more effective to break the migration down by workload, starting with less critical applications.

15 Is a private cloud for you? To determine if it's the best cloud model for your organization, ask these four questions: 1. Do you have a business problem that can be solved using cloud techniques? 2. Are your security and regulatory challenges sufficient to block consideration of the public cloud? 3. Will a private cloud improve productivity and/or profits? 4. Can your organization change how it applies technology to business solutions?
