In this presentation, the speakers describe the integration challenges that are faced when introducing cloud infrastructures to legacy IT environments and workloads. Integrating existing infrastructure and services, with new ones, has always been a challenge in IT. When integrating cloud solutions, these challenges still exist and have some new technology twists. Newer cloud delivery models are offered with different characteristics such as public, private and hybrid profiles.
A mix of workloads and applications, seamlessly running in different environments, have to be transparent in functionality to end users and require agility on part of solution integrators. Hybrid models not only bring interesting dynamics to a client's existing IT environment but can also out weigh the benefits of cloud if not addressed upfront. In this presentation, the speakers explain useful tactics to overcome integration challenges and address how to quickly realize cloud value.
