Enterprise Cloud For Dummies, Nutanix Special Edition
✓ Private cloud simply makes sense: You know that public
cloud doesn’t always address issues such as data locality, security, and compliance in a way that works well
for your company. However, private cloud does so. By
deploying enterprise cloud, you get the best parts of
both public and private cloud, with the ability to seamlessly use both depending on application needs.
✓ The trends are on your side: Lots of trends came
together to make enterprise cloud viable. You needed
fast storage, which you get through flash. You needed the
ability to deploy hardware in an economical way, which
you get through commodity hardware. These trends have
coalesced to enable enterprise cloud deployments.
✓ Choice is key: Any cloud any time. Your organization
needs a choice of where to run workloads. You shouldn’t
be forced into a single public cloud provider. With the
right enterprise cloud foundation, you choose the cloud
and don’t end up with workloads trapped somewhere.
✓ You need to think beyond bimodal IT: This book helps
you understand why bimodal IT isn’t necessarily the best
path forward for the long term. With enterprise cloud,
you get the outcomes promised by bimodal IT without
worrying about the inefficiencies that this model can
introduce.
✓ Users are pretty smart: Your users are far ahead of
where they were a few years ago. Your infrastructure
environment must reflect this fact by enabling user self‐
service and automation, both of which are supported in
an enterprise cloud scenario.
