VMware Services — Organizational Planning For The Cloud
Too often, companies overlook the organizational impact of moving to the cloud. A successful cloud transformation requires careful consideration of its effect on your organization and people. Evolve your IT organizational structure and roles. Align IT processes with your new cloud model. Make sure your teams have the right skills for a cloud world. Business leaders look at the cloud model and see new ways to accelerate innovation, create competitive advantages, and drive new business models. IT executives look at private and public cloud models and see a host of new possibilities for positive IT outcomes, including optimized CAPEX by cutting unit costs for Software-Defined Data Center (SDDCTM) infrastructure. Lower OpEx through streamlined and automated data center operations. A better security-to-effort ratio through security controls that are native to infrastructure. Higher uptime thanks to high-availability, resilient infrastructure and proactive IT operations.
Higher Agility And Efficiency
Cloud initiatives enable automation and orchestration of key IT services, which in turn make it possible for IT to deploy services the business needs faster, with less cost and risk. A cloud based on SDDC can also bring predictability, control, and choice to service delivery so IT can respond to the needs of business units and repatriate their “shadow IT” projects. In short, offering services in a cloud environment is the starting point for building alignment between IT and the business. Establishing integrated IT teams organized around services, fosters focused and more operationally driven decisions about business-enabling services that drive value. The service-oriented model, with its focus on delivering services the business needs, driven by outside-in versus inside-out thinking, can help streamline everything from the service definition to the service delivery process. This directly impacts the speed with which IT can respond to changing business needs.
Cloud Infrastructure Services Team
Cloud infrastructure Services is an integrated team of cloud infrastructure and operations specialists and an ecosystem of related functional groups, as shown below. It serves as the focal point for all decisions and actions involving cloud virtual infrastructure and its operations. It includes a set of cross-domain roles aimed at creating a much closer relationship among architecture, engineering, and operations teams. The goal is to create tighter collaboration across the traditional plan-build-run IT paradigm. This is a necessary step to achieving agility and the operationally driven decisions needed to support proactive management of an SDDC environment. The charter of the cloud infrastructure services team is to continually develop and implement innovative ways to architect, design, deploy, and operate cloud infrastructure services in the most cost—effective way possible — while satisfying the Operating Level Agreements (OLAs) for providing those services to other cloud service teams.
