9. The cloud interoperability promise. Hybrid Clouds.
•
There are very good and feature complete IaaS solutions around…
•
But we’ve forgot some of the cloud promises we made to the market 5 years ago…
•
Still vendor-lock-in, it’s difficult to change providers
•
No clear comparison between providers in terms of performance, cost, SLAs…
•
We would like to switch workloads (servers) from one provider to another one as we change the energy/power
provider at home, with just a call or a mouse click and without service disruptions
•
No provider is fulfilling these promises yet
•
HP and Arsys are heading in that direction with the HP CloudSystem and arsys Cloudbuilder integration

10. Hybrid clouds and interoperability
Public cloud #1
On-premises private cloud
Internet
Public cloud #2
Public cloud #3
Dedicated servers

11. HP and arsys – working together for a joint hybrid cloud offering
•
Any HP CloudSystem customer can configure arsys as their “public cloud provider”.
•
The customers would work with HP CloudSystem as usual but they can now choose to
create some services in the arsys cloud.
•
Both the on-premises and the arsys-outsourced services are managed from a central
tool, HP CloudSystem.
•
This enables seamless outsourcing of the services, avoiding the need to use different
tools for different providers.
•
Arsys has become the 1st European Cloud provider compatible with HP cloud System.
•
Our current integration is only the first step of what will be a long partnership.

12. The results – Managing the arsys Cloudbuilder cloud from HP CloudSystem
Demo available in
our stand

13. Benefits for customers/market
•Use a single tool for both on-premises and outsources services.
•Avoid vendor lock-in.
•Decide on-the-fly what’s the best cloud to place a workload (in
terms of price, reliability, SLA, etc.).

14. Next steps
Arsys and HP will strengthen the integration with some of these ideas:
o
Migration from one provider to another one
o
Facilitate comparison between providers in terms of cost,
performance, reliability, SLAs…
o
Adding more features in HP CloudSystem to manage the arsys
Cloudbuilder servers.
o
Integrate common reporting / compliance analysis.
o
Better VPN integration for transparent IP management.
o
etc.
