Taking your first steps to Cloud Computing

Business spending on public IT Cloud services is growing over 27% compound rate annually. More than four times the rate of the worldwide IT market as whole (5%). Growth at this rate indicates virtually all businesses are strategically adopting Cloud services now, or real soon.

Plan now

The Cloud is becoming mainstream, in the process reshaping and transforming how companies deliver and pay for IT services. Cloud enabling your business is not radical, unaffordably expensive, or messy. And it’s definitely not something that’s only for large organizations. It’s not either/or, you’ll go Cloud internally first, and moving forward will have a hybrid of internal (private)and public Cloud services.

Bunch of Cowboys takes a phased approach with you, taking steps to the Cloud in a practical, non-distruptive evolutionary process. The transformation is far reaching for your infrastructure and applications, but getting there – every step is strategic and pays for itself with proven, powerful benefits.

The first step? Build your internal IT infrastructure on Cloud technologies. Enable your internal data centre to act with the characteristics of a cloud. Your IT becomes more cost effective, flexible, efficient, reliable, and easier to manage.

Step 1. Cloud-enable your private IT infrastructure with Virtualization

Virtualization provides the critical first step and is the foundation for Cloud computing. It removes the direct 1:1 relationship between software and the hardware that runs it. This decoupling enables IT to turn underutilized infrastructure into an elastic, resilient, partitioned and secure pool of compute resources available to users on demand.

Virtualization positions you for your next steps to the Cloud.
