THE CLOUD: WHOSE MARKET IS IT?

The Hosting + Cloud Transformation Summit 2014 will focus on what and who is driving the cloud market as it enters the next stage of maturity. How is enterprise demand dictating the direction the market is heading, and how are cloud providers reacting as they monetize their cloud investments? The cloud landscape continues to rapidly evolve as the enterprise moves from the early-adoption stage and continues its journey to the cloud. Fueled by acquisitions and investments in innovation, service providers have repositioned themselves to compete by their own rules. So whose market is this?

Enterprises are utilizing cloud-enabled services to drive growth, costs savings and in some cases total business transformation, but as they refine and evolve their plans for the cloud, are you listening to what enterprises want or telling them what they should buy? This track will include sessions discussing how you should address customer demand both now and in the future and features enterprise decision-makers describing their experiences with service providers – both good and bad!

CUSTOMER

The infrastructure and service provider competitive landscape continues to rapidly evolve, driven by M&A activity, strategic partnerships and investments in innovation. Competitors have repositioned themselves, former friends are now foes, and customers are also competing through their own internal, private clouds. Some colocation and hosting providers are considering moving up the cloud service stack, while others do not want to compete with their customers. This track explores the economics and business models of the cloud ecosystem, the opportunities, issues and trends driving competitive positioning, and predictions for what will happen next.

COMPETITION

Developing a scalable, cost-efficient and feature-rich platform is key to monetizing the cloud opportunity. But how do you build the business, what is operational excellence, and how can you get to scale profitably? This track looks at driving innovation and operational excellence, the innovative and disruptive technologies that will open up opportunity and drive the next phase of services, and what the Data Center of the Future will look like.

For most businesses, building and operating datacenter space is not a core competency or a competitive differentiator. Yet enterprises are nervous that by outsourcing they will lose control and their data will be less secure. This session will examine some of the key factors in datacenter decision-making, including: who is making the decisions, the options available, how costs are modeled, how the decision can affect your business plan, risks to watch out for, and how these factors are changing as the industry evolves.

INNOVATION FOCUS

1:20 - 1:50PM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM INTERNET OF THINGS: THE PERFECT STORM OR WASHOUT?Brian Partridge, Vice President - Mobility, 451 Research Mobility Team

M2M and its yet aspirational relative the “Internet of Things” is moving onto the radar for enterprise IT decision-makers considering digital infrastructure transformation from edge to core. The combination of affordable edge devices, ubiquitous and secure networks, big-data analytic tools, a new crop of middleware and services platforms and the architecture/economics of the Cloud are bringing the Internet of Things within the grasp of businesses of all sizes from historically vertical/proprietary and expensive roots. Yet despite the current noise levels from the supply side, ROI is still no slam dunk for most enterprise IT buyers. In this 30-minute session we will:

• Define the M2M/IoT segment, observed macro trends, ecosystem developments, segment M&A/funding activity and relevant forecasts

• Review our latest enterprise and consumer survey results to understand buying characteristics in M2M/IoT, vendor/solution preferences, perceived barriers to success, and ROI expectations.

• Review the potential impact of the IoT on datacenter/hosting architectures and business models.

• Provide segment predictions for the next 12-24 months.

1:50 - 2:20PM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE FEATURING:Windstream Rob Carter, Director - Datacenter and Cloud Marketing, Windstream

2:25 - 2:55PM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE: RISK MANAGEMENT WITHOUT LOSING AGILITYDrew Leonard, Vice President of Colocation Product Management, Savvis

Joe Reele, Vice President - Datacenter Solution Architects, Schneider Electric

Many enterprises strive toward reducing overall IT resource allocation without introducing new risk to their business. However, because companies have different approaches toward content distribution and IT services operations, one plan toward IT outsourcing starts with understanding an organization’s operating model and its plans to incorporate a hybrid IT environment. By understanding where an IT strategy is most vulnerable, one can more effectively allocate people, processes, IT, and datacenter resources toward risk mitigation and prevention. In order to mitigate risk and still provide a responsive agile environment, collaboration between the IT outsourcing provider and the datacenter solutions provider is often required. Executives from both Savvis and Schneider Electric are available to talk about comprehensive approaches to risk management. Together, the two companies’ complementary expertise helps end-user organizations reduce business risk, operational risk, and reputational risk while maintaining a flexible agile environment.

CUSTOMER FOCUS

3:25 - 3:55PM • BREAKOUT ROOM CREATING NEW STYLE IT SERVICES FOR THE AGILE ENTERPRISEKaty Ring, Research Director, Global IT Service

The services market is changing as buy-side organizations look to add business value driven by the capabilities of the technology SMAC stack: social media tooling, mobile capabilities, analytics (with big data) and cloud delivery. With the rise of these digital services, new opportunities are being created around cloud brokerage and orchestration, around data integration (especially as big data extends the use of analytics), cloud managed services, custom applications consumed as a service, and BaaS offerings. In response, IT service businesses need to adapt to embrace “ITaaS” creation and consumption models.

• How are buyer needs changing as internal buyer departments move to ITaaS models?

• How should service providers be responding?

• Who is well-positioned for the new service opportunities the agile enterprise requires?

4:30 - 5:00PM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE: 3 TRENDS CHANGING CLOUD SECURITY: WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOUMisha Govshteyn, Chief Strategy Officer & Co-Founder, Alert Logic

With today’s constantly changing threat landscape, cybersecurity is top of mind in organizations of every size. Cloud and hosting providers, for the first time, have the opportunity to offer a higher level of security than enterprises can achieve in their own datacenters. In this talk, Misha Govshteyn, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Alert Logic, will highlight 3 trends poised to give service providers an edge in delivering security for cloud infrastructure and applications.

The presentation will draw heavily on real-world data about security incident trends identified in Alert Logic’s Cloud Security Report and discuss how the threat landscape has evolved as cloud adoption accelerated in the last several years.

• The impact of DevOps on security operations

• The role of big data in security analytics

• Leveraging threat intelligence to build cloud and application countermeasures

9:00 - 9:30AM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM KEYNOTE: CAPTURING THE HEARTS, MINDS AND (MOST IMPORTANTLY) WALLETS OF THE CUSTOMERMichelle Bailey, Vice President of Datacenter Initiatives and Digital Infrastructure, 451 Research

It is clear that the future datacenter is not what it has been. In the wake of cloud, the business expects agility at a lower price point while controlling far more complex data movement and security issues. At the same time, workloads continue to explode with mobile, connected devices, consumer applications and intelligent technology, placing greater pressure on data center infrastructure. What is the right business model going forward? With Cloud Providers, Colos, Multi-Tenant Datacenters, Telcos, Outsourcers, ISVs, and more categories being created every day, it is hard to remember that the Cloud market is still nascent. What are the prevailing approaches to the market, and where are their relative strengths and weaknesses?

9:30 - 10:15AM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM 451 RESEARCH PANEL: THE VOICE OF THE CUSTOMERIn this session, a panel including senior IT executives from Enterprise organizations will discuss how they currently utilize cloud-enabled services to drive growth, cost savings and in some cases total business transformation, and what they are looking for from service providers as they refine and evolve their plans for the cloud.

Panelists:

Kevin Fellows, Director of Enterprise Architecture, Media & Guest Technology, MGM Resorts International

Lori Temple, Vice Provost for Information Technology, University of Nevada

Dan Harrington, Research Manager, Enterprise Datacenters, 451 Research.

Moderated by Brett Azuma, Senior Vice President, Research, 451 Research

10:45 - 11:15AM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM BUYING PIECES OF THE DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PUZZLE: FINDING, FUNDING AND VALUING KEY ASSETSKelly Morgan, Research Director - Multi-Tenant Datacenters, 451 Research

As enterprises evolve their digital infrastructure, service providers need to piece together offerings that will differentiate themselves without breaking the bank. In this panel, we will discuss how M&A can provide some missing pieces and what those pieces may be. Join our distinguished panel of finance experts as we discuss key questions such as: Who is likely to go shopping? What firms will be targets? Are networks and datacenters more or less sought after than services and software providers? How are assets being valued? What financing is available and on what terms? We will debate these and more as we explore trends impacting this dynamic sector.

“Developers” are one of the primary workloads driving cloud adoption. Digital enterprises that rely on IT as a core part of their business processes are increasingly creating custom written web and mobile applications and need somewhere cloud-y to run them. The buying criteria, evaluation methods, and interests of this set of people is different than the typical “infrastructure buyer” that service providers are familiar with. This session will profile this new type of buyer and provide insights into how to start working with the new workload of “developers.” The talk will cover the types of developers,

COMPETITION FOCUS

12:45 - 1:15PM • BREAKOUT ROOM CLOUD WARS: OPPORTUNITIES IN A COMMODITIZING WORLDOwen Rogers, Senior Analyst - Digital Economics, 451 Research

Recent aggressive price cuts from the likes of Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure, AWS and others suggest that price is a factor in consumers’ decisions. And as service providers increasingly look to emulate some of their competitors’ offerings, perhaps some cloud services are starting to become commodities. What can service providers do to differentiate their products in this commoditized world, and what can be done in the short and longer term to attract revenue? Can consumers expect prices to continue to decline, and how low can cloud pricing go? As we will show, the key for service providers is to develop wider and more integrated portfolios on top of commodity services that should appeal to consumers on value, not just on price.

1:15 - 1:45PM • BREAKOUT ROOM LEADERSHIP PANEL SESSION FEATURING:CloudCheckr Aaron Newman, CTO, CloudCheckr

COMPETITION FOCUS

1:50 - 2:20PM • BREAKOUT ROOM RECLAIMING THE CLOUD: TELCOS RECAPTURE THEIR BIRTHRIGHTJennifer Pigg Clark, Vice President, 451 Research Mobility Team

Telcos have often been written off as too slow and too late to become meaningful competitors in the Cloud market. With massive infrastructures, highly efficient large-scale operations, reach across the Consumer and Business market, and a heritage of managing real-time services, the Telcos have the pieces to become formidable competitors. Will interconnection continue to be important to the market, and will new Internet fast lanes play a factor? It has to be remembered that the Telcos were running datacenters before there were computers.

CUSTOMER FOCUS

1:50 - 2:20PM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM HORSES FOR COURSES: PICKING THE BEST EXECUTION VENUEPeter ffoulkes, Research Director - Servers and Virtualization, 451 Research

Enterprises face a growing number of choices for deploying and selecting cloud computing services and providers. Business needs are driven by workloads, and enterprises need to balance business risk, security, compliance, performance, agility and cost requirements in choosing an execution venue or provider. This all boils down to one question: Who are you going to trust? This session will explore a range of workload categories and the criteria by which enterprises will choose where best to run their workloads.

2:25 - 2:55PM • GENERAL SESSION ROOM CLOSING KEYNOTE: WINNING HYBRID CLOUD: RISE OF APPLICATION HOSTING AND CLOUD MANAGED SERVICEScott Ottaway, Vice President - Services Research, 451 Research

Enterprise IT spending continues to grow, and cloud spending outpaces growth of on-premises IT spending. As more mission-critical workloads move off-premises to cloud/hosting service providers, enterprises will require more robust and customizable line-of-business application capabilities, managed services, and hybrid cloud features. With this new demand and customer willingness to pay a premium, service providers have the opportunity to drive higher margins and differentiate from the hyper-scale providers by providing more complex application hosting, managed services and hybrid integration features. This presentation will cover the market opportunity, challenges and predictions for application and managed services at cloud/hosting service providers.
