ITT1954 Cloud IT Teams Tell All:
Which Private Cloud Service Delivery
Model Is Best and Why?
Technical Level:
Speaker(s): Kathleen Tandy, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room G1
A myriad of private cloud service delivery models
are being used by enterprise IT organizations.
How to best organize, staff and run a private
cloud depends on many factors: business
objectives; use cases; user profiles; IT skills;
existing IT processes, organizational structure
and architecture; finally the creativeness of IT
cloud pioneers.
Earlier this year, we asked several customers
detailed questions about their private cloud
services delivery model and gathered tremendous
insight on the pros and cons of different
approaches. Come discover how and why other
customers designed and use the cloud service
delivery model they use today. Learn:
• How enterprises organize central and business
unit IT teams to best support private cloud
endeavors
• Which IT skills are considered most critical
• About the working relationships between
different IT teams
• Where to draw the line between IaaS and PaaS
roles and responsibilities
• Pros and cons of different approaches to:
- vApp/image/template design, creation
and maintenance
- Service catalo management
- Virtual data center delineation and resource
allocation
- Capacity planning
- Chargeback and showback

OPS-CIM2892 Making IaaS and APaaS
Available to the IT Masses: Rolling
Out Self Service for the Cloud
Speaker(s): Leslie Muller, VMware, Inc.;
Neil Smith, Man Group;
Naomi Sullivan, VMware, Inc.
HALL 8, LOWER LEVEL | Room C3
Enabling end-users to consume cloud services
requires proven automations and workflows.
VMware will package its automation expertise
with its Cloud Management Platform (CMP).
The CMP will automate self service request
fulfillment and management.
Today’s business requires IT leaders to be more
responsive to business initiatives, reduce costs,
reduce time to market and improve IT’s ability to
deliver whilst maximizing efficiency and reducing
risk to existing services. Cloud supports these
goals but we need to make it more consumable
for IT end-users. End-users need simpler and
more personalized experiences and administrators
need more control and scale.
Enabling end-users to consume cloud services
with speed and governance requires proven
automated processes and workflows. VMware will
be packaging its cloud automation expertise as
content with CMP. CMP will automate personalized
IaaS and APaaS request fulfillment and management
by providing scalable policy and template based
tools for managing cloud provisioning.
VMware’s CMP allows organizations to quickly
realize the benefits of cloud. Starting with and
expanding upon the out of the box content,
CMP allows easy configuration of organizational
specifics such as policies. This solution translates
end-user catalog requests into execution
requirements for the underlying cloud infrastructure.
