clouds
what is the objective?
what do we need?

5. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
what do we need?
1. speed of execution
2. reliability
3. flexibility
4. cost efficient

6. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
execution speed: user
quick to get going
easy to reconfigure
programmable

7. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
execution speed: manager
easy to consume: no need to spend weeks
discussing with infrastructure team
standardization to ease getting new recruits
to productive state

reliability
it should just work!

9. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
flexibility
easy to cater to broad range of user,
project and organizational requirements

10. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
cost efficient: organization
optimized tco: opex +capex
best use of people

computing challenge

14. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
cloud transformation
flexible computing infrastructure to serve broad
range of projects
on-premise cost advantage
on-premise security
reduce time to execution

15. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
cloud transformation
traditional environment: vmware + bare metal
+ traditional hpc
self-service, rapid-turnaround
service tickets for infrastructure provisioning
time to execution: 2+ weeks

16. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
cloud transformation
provide users with flexible, self-serviced
provisioned of computing infrastructure
should not result in net increase of workload for
the operations team

17. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
cloud transformation
cannot make assumption about users’ level of
technical expertise
serve disparate user groups, varying and
competing needs, long-lived and short-lived
workloads

18. Sardina Systems Proprietary. Copyright (C) 2014 -- 2019. Sardina Systems. All rights reserved.
importantly …
need to meet organization mission
don’t throw money at the challenge
money does not grow on trees
