hybrid cloud: building your unified hybrid cloud operations manager
DESCRIPTION
Looking at the growth in cloud usage it is necessary to define how & where you will leverage the private cloud for internal security and compliance within corporate mandates & where you will leverage the public cloud for IT operational efficiencies. Therefore, the role of a Cloud Automation Platform becomes crucial. What level of automation and integration will you need to run the multi-environment IaaS, SaaS, AaaS, PaaS or Storage Services? What does an 'Unified Hybrid Cloud Operations Manager' look like? How to limit corporate exposure and Shadow IT Issues? How to integrate SoftLayer, Azure, Openstack, and Amazon WebServices from a single-pane-of-glass platform?TRANSCRIPT

According to Gartner: “…Cloud Computing Will Become the Bulk of New IT Spend by 2016” http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2613015
5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.5% is 5X the growth rate of IT Industry as a whole.
International Data Corp. (IDC) By 2020, the Public cloud market will reach USD 160B; the Virtual private cloud market USD 66B; and the Private cloud market will grow to USD 16B.
Public IT Cloud Services spending was $47 Billion in 2013 and will reach nearly $108 Billion in 2017.

Cloud Computing Market Overview Undergoing Rapid Growth
4Cloud Computing Market Overview Cloud Automation of IT
"IT organizations are taking an ‘opportunistic’ approach to automation by identifying individual automation opportunities as they arise and implementing platform-specific tools to solve a specific problem. This fragmented approach to IT automation is not an “enterprise grade” strategy. Nor is it scalable. It introduces increasing levels of complexity, higher TCO and lacks any form of enterprise-wide governance."
-Ronni Colville, Gartner Analyst at Infrastructure & Operations Management Summit June 2014
“….rather than taking an “elemental” approach, organizations must adopt an “architectural” strategy whereby “point” scheduling tools are unified within an enterprise automation solution. An “architectural” strategy lays the foundation for a policy-driven automation strategy that drives governance, visibility and control across the organization. Cross-application, -platform and -departmental workflows are planned, dependencies identified and processes automated end-to-end.”
-Ronni Colville, Gartner Analyst

PwC data shows large enterprises (averaging $500MM in revenue a year) “leak” 15-30% of their IT budget outside of IT’s purview and ledger;
Gartner predicts that in less than three years, 35% of enterprise IT expenditures will happen outside of the corporate IT budget;
Dangers of Shadow IT are mainly around compliance and security implications; but also additional risks include hidden costs, and misalignment of organization.
"The data is suddenly not in the organization anymore," -Chris Curran, Chief Technologist, PwC US Advisory
