rganizations typically conduct a lot of research on cloud providers and enabling technologies before making the decision to embark on their first cloud project. However, sometimes this extensive research and vendor selection effort gets confused with the actual project planning required for success of that initial cloud project.
After the decision is made to move forward with a cloud initiative, sometimes the urge to get our “stuff” on the cloud quickly is hard to resist. There hasn’t been a time in recent memory with more opportunity for IT but, with great opportunity comes great risk! We’ve all heard the saying that goes something like “automate a bad process and make bad stuff happen more quickly”. Cloud brings a myriad set of options for improving how your enterprise utilizes IT and executes its business objectives, but implementing it without sufficient upfront planning can bring serious risk and bring it very quickly.
Some of the biggest gaps I see in cloud project planning occur in the areas of Security, Policy and Governance. These are important considerations everyone should include in the review and planning portion of any project, before moving applications and workloads on to a cloud.
First let me say that I’m not an expert in security, policy or governance. If I have to be classified as an expert, it’s on the ownership and management characteristics of IT infrastructure. So, I’m not going to give you a detailed technical strategy for implementing your security or policy framework. Rather I’m going to focus on the planning and “ownership” point of view, both of which encompass having a clear set of goals and objectives for its implementation, management, and lifecycle.
Security: Planning here should include a well understood set of security requirements and usage characteristics for the project:
Who uses it?
Where and how will data be stored, shared, backed up, etc.?
Who will be supporting it?
What are the individual roles required?
Will it be a private cloud, hybrid cloud, or public cloud?
What are the characteristics of the network?
What experience does your internal network team have with cloud or highly virtualized environments? What are the current skill gaps & where can you get help?
What tools do you already have? Have you compared them against newer products/services on the market that are focused on security in a cloud?
Do your tools allow for automated policy enforcement on new instances?
What type of reporting and auditing will you have?
What about identity management? Is it integrated with your cloud management platform?
What are the partner requirements? Do you have the right partners, with appropriate experience? Should you audit current and proposed service providers? Have you evaluated team skills to identify gaps and training opportunities?
Where and how has security been factored in to your business continuity planning? Security, like an earthquake or a hardware failure, can be a threat to your availability. As such, your security strategy should match enterprise objectives for availability.
Governance and Policy: This includes governing how an instance is created, why it’s created, by whom, and under what restrictions it operates.
Governance and approval work flows should be well understood.
Document and enforce regulations/restrictions regarding data availability, storage location, and performance.
Establish a governance lifecycle that includes the creation and enforcement of policies for cloud workloads as they are planned, built, shared, and deployed.
Where will your instances reside and under what context or situations while they be put there or moved?
What is the performance criteria to determine right placement of workloads?
Define role-based access to assets and environments.
Ensure that automated approaches to scale, distribution and shutdown encompass enterprise policy controls.
What are the guidelines for allowing scale? How is scale approved?
How are Business Critical priorities mapped against threshold limitations
Change management strategy.
Roles and ownership
Who’s responsible for the delivery of cloud services
Who’s responsible for the cloud environment?
Are all the roles well defined?
Many times, the most valuable time spent on a project is the time spent during planning. Moving to cloud is no different. Make your move in a well-planned and controlled fashion so you can more rapidly benefit from new services, while not putting your team or the enterprise at risk.

Moving SAP From The Data Center To The Cloud Gets Automated
2:55 PM EST Fri. Feb. 26, 2010
SAP (NYSE:SAP) is complex, there's no question about that. And moving SAP and other applications from development and evaluation into production environments and between physical, virtual and cloud environments is no easy feat, not to mention it's time consuming and costly. Cloud vendor AppZero is looking to ease SAP deployments and give VARs the ability to boost the speed of SAP installations while also reducing the costs. The vendor also aims to cut time and costs when dealing with SAP can give VARs an edge.
AppZero has just released AppZero for SAP, a solution that can chop the time it takes to deploy and install SAP applications and suites down from days to about 10 minutes across physical and virtual servers and to cloud environments like Amazon EC2.
Essentially, AppZero for SAP gives VARs, integrators and software vendors the ability to install SAP apps -- from SAP All-in-One to full ECC -- into an AppZero Virtual Application Appliance (VAA). VAAs decouple an application from the operating system and encapsulate it with all of its dependencies. Once a VAA is created, it becomes a gold image or single point of management that can be moved from system to system, stored anywhere and deployed among servers either physical or virtual and on-premise or in the cloud, said Greg O'Connor, AppZero CEO.
"You can pick up applications and move them from the data center to the cloud as one file," O'Connor said, adding that AppZero "encapsulates applications, in this case SAP" and that the process takes roughly 10 minutes.
The ability to automate application release management and to quickly move applications, like SAP, through the various stages like development, quality assurance, testing and production, adds a new level of mobility. Applications can be quickly moved from the data center to the cloud and vice versa, O'Connor said.
"They can run an application wherever they need to," he said, adding that moving applications from the data center to the cloud is difficult and usually requires a full reinstall.
And for solution providers, swiftly moving SAP and other applications is a solid differentiator. Christopher Carter, CTO of HiLn, a Brookfield, Wis.-based solution provider, said as more of his clients look to upgrade SAP or move SAP to non-production environments like a staging area or sandbox, they're looking for easier ways to move between the data center and the cloud.
"Compared to the competition in the market, if you can take a standard SAP environment and encapsulate it we can go out to clients and say, 'in 10 minutes you can have a server running in one of our clouds.'"
Carter said SAP applications and deployment stacks are complex and must be tested under real world load conditions to assess how it will perform in production. AppZero enables a process that ensures systems are tested for the cloud.
HiLn's Silver Lining Cloud Solution lets users start, stop, reuse, throw away and start new SAP clouds in minutes. A full SAP ECC 6.0 ERP suite can be provisioned, cloned and moved to a pay-as-you-go cloud environment.
Carter said reducing SAP updates and moves from up to 30 days to 10 minutes without the setup of hardware can ultimately save customers tens of thousands of dollars and saves them from having to stop production systems.
"That's tens to hundreds of thousands in savings during an upgrade or installation, it's amazing," he said.
So far, HiLn has engaged several organizations about AppZero for SAP and has built a specific SAP-centric cloud as part of its two-month-old Silver Lining Cloud Solution.
While it's still in beta, AppZero for SAP is expected to be available for general availability in four to six weeks. Meanwhile, Andover, Mass.-based AppZero is working with just over a dozen partners.
"This focuses on a very niche component of the SAP landscape," Carter said. "Firms are looking to take non-production-based environments to the cloud."
O'Connor agreed.
"It can take months to create a copy of SAP for training or a sandbox for prep; any non-production use case," he said. "Now they can be set up quickly on premise or in the cloud."
