Why network connectivity is key to successfully running your modern multicloud

Why network connectivity is key to successfully running your modern multicloud nellmarie.colman Fri, 08/06/2021 - 13:13 Most businesses are now using multiple clouds, across a variety of flavors: SaaS, PaaS and IaaS, public and private, as well as legacy on-premises infrastructure. But few of them arrived in that situation by design. They didnt set out to have such a mixture, but business needs drove them into it. Despite the hyperscalers efforts to help these businesses out of that morass and onto their platforms, most businesses dont want to put all their eggs in one basket. Or theyve determined that certain applications need to head in one cloud direction, whilst others go in another. So hybrid multicloud is most likely the ongoing future for businesses today, as well as the need to optimize it all. And thats where network connectivity comes into play. The current state of enterprise private networks The enterprise private network has long been the backbone of many large businesses. For 40+ years, it has provided the glue that binds an organizations distributed, global operations together evolving as new technologies come to market. In the 2000s, when the focus shifted to virtualization and the cloud, private networks appeared to lose their importance. But underneath it all, those networks never went away. A lot of businesses still rely on expensive Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) circuits from both local and international service providers to bind their major operations together. For example, they may VPN over the standard Internet to hook up smaller remote offices. But such arrangements can inhibit business agility. They involve dealing with multiple vendors and telco-type operators some to provision the last mile into a remote office, and some to link corporate HQ with regional HQs in other parts of the world. They also involve managing a variety of different contracts, each with its own variable costs and SLAs, as well as a range of distinct technologies, each with its own set of tools, to deliver a desired end-to-end performance. A better way With cloud cross-connect services from providers like Equinix or Megaport and last-mile services from Unitas Global, you can simplify your network connection complexities. Following the model of the Internet Exchanges, these types of service providers have interconnected facilities throughout the world. And they resell arbitraged capacity across their backbones in the form of virtual private circuits. Then, through RackConnect Global, you can get a point-and-click, self-service private network that connects your locations and most importantly the hyperscale cloud providers. This gives you multicloud connectivity that unifies your entire hybrid environment. As a result, you can: Reduce the number of wide-area-network vendors you have to negotiate with Reduce your resource requirements to manage all the different connections Get point-and-click configuration flexibility Reduce the costs of connecting into the hyperscalers, with blended arbitraged costs across the network Remove your reliance on the Internet for connectivity, thereby enhancing security and availability Learn more about how RackConnect Global makes it possible to securely connect your locations and clouds. Why network connectivity is key to successfully running your modern multicloudMany businesses still rely on private networks to connect their locations and data centers. But the complexity involved can stifle business agility. Heres a better way to connect your locations and clouds, without the burdens.

Todays private cloud is alive and well in modern IT

Todays private cloud is alive and well in modern IT nellmarie.colman Fri, 02/12/2021 - 07:09 When you think of private cloud, chances are you think of dedicated infrastructure that lives in your on-premises data center, a colocation facility or at a managed hosting facility. You probably think of control, security, performance and dependability. But does it also make you think of real-time scaling, consumption pricing or intelligent automation? How about AI and machine learning? Containers? Serverless? If it doesnt yet, it soon will. Private cloud in recent years considered a second-class citizen compared to public cloud is shattering stereotypes and showing that it is indeed alive and well in modern IT. In todays private cloud, you can run a whole software-defined data center on top of single-tenant infrastructure creating a complete cloud-like experience. You can have full AI and machine learning deployments, create near-serverless developer experiences and deploy advanced automation. Its all possible on private cloud. This opens up new possibilities for businesses that cant move to public cloud whether because of geography, performance requirements, regulations and even company culture. They can now tap into cloud innovations, within the predictability and familiarity of their own private cloud. Private cloud is here to stay Even in the midst of massive public cloud adoption, businesses have held fast to their private clouds for certain workloads especially for key, business-differentiating applications and those with strict regulatory requirements. As a result, these businesses are well-positioned to get an even greater return on their private cloud investment, as they look at new, innovative ways of putting them to work. This steady reliance on private cloud is supported by a recent study we conducted in September 2020. We asked 1,800+ technology decision-makers in more than ten countries to share their perspectives on the future of compute for their organizations. Heres what we discovered: Organizations are running applications on relatively balanced split between public (35%), private (35%) and data centers / colocation (30%). 43% of organizations are running key applications on private cloud, including ecommerce systems, back office automation, CRMs and their own built products and services. Although they expect to move non-differentiating applications to SaaS, these organizations also anticipate that their overall private cloud footprint will stay the same over at least the next two years. And as VMware and other partners continue to innovate around single-tenant infrastructure, we expect private cloud usage to continue and strengthen. Is private cloud right for you? Whenever you set out to select a cloud platform for a particular workload, we recommend you make decisions based on your data, security and application needs. Start by asking questions like: Do I have certain data privacy or regulatory requirements? Does this workload require a particular environment? And in some cases, should that workload span public cloud and private cloud, or even multiple public clouds? Lets take an example. Say you have an IoT solution thats running and calibrating machines in real time, and you need it to make decisions as close to the factory floor as possible. This restriction would, historically, rule out public cloud. But how about running a public cloud on your own private cloud? You could run an Anthos stack right on your factory floor and have a big stack of containers managing that IoT solution. You might also have traditional hardware and software making decisions and tuning your production line. You can take the metadata and resulting data stored on-premises and send that out to your public cloud of choice to do analysis. This helps you gain a deeper understanding and generate future forecasting, while avoiding data egress fees. In this case, yes, private cloud is the right choice. But so is public cloud running on a private cloud. And so are a hyperscale cloud and containers. The decision is no longer binary. You have a wide range of choices and the freedom to architect a solution that meets the specific requirements youre looking for. As such, make sure private cloud is included in your arsenal of options. Get to know todays private cloud I recently presented a 30-minute talk, Private Cloud is Dead. Long Live Private Cloud. In this presentation, I go into more detail about the history of private cloud, the reasons businesses continue to choose it and the bright future it has ahead. I also share the importance of having a single, consolidated view of all of your environments across public, private and hybrid, and across applications, data and security so you can stay on top of performance and spending. Todays private cloud is alive and well in modern IT Say goodbye to traditional, rigid private clouds. From containers and serverless, to AI and machine learning, todays private cloud can do it all.
