According to a Gartner study , by the end of 2017, nearly half of the companies have implemented hybrid cloud deployments . Analysts believe that the hybrid cloud (where some resources are managed internally and by other external providers) is the point where the private cloud was there three years.
However, if most companies today use one form or another private cloud computing, Gartner notes that a number of obstacles impede more rapid adoption of these solutions. According to Thomas Bittman, vice president of Gartner, agility is the main problem.
To Mr. Bittman, that agility is the key driver of private cloud computing, IT departments need to understand how their current level of services it can really make a difference. They should ask themselves, "What new services would be useful if they were provided so agile, and they must work closely with their clients to answer these questions," he says.According to him, companies that have already started their private cloud projects often neglect issues related to the technologies themselves. This is partly due to the immaturity of some of the technologies on which the private cloud based, and partly by the fact that many companies realize a significant customization work is necessary to obtain satisfactory products from scratch.
Adapt the technical expertise to automated operation
But, according to Gartner, the transformations required to use these technologies are even more difficult to implement. "Cloud services business processes require both rapid and tailored services provided," said Thomas Bittman.
"Computer literacy focuses on the technical expertise that is deeply rooted within IT departments do not fit a model of self-service operation, fully automatic, requiring based on teamwork approach oriented services. "
In other words, culture existing within the IT departments drives them to seek technical solutions to what they see as technical problems, whereas in today's world, it is non-technical solutions that are usually necessary.
"Too often, the private cloud projects begin with the choice of technology, but it is not the technology itself that will solve problems related to the processing teams and processes," says Bittman. Gartner proposes a radical solution: if there is no question of eliminating block IT departments must at least find different approaches that can improve the way they work.
Transform teams and processes
"It is best to start by focusing on an approach to achieve the necessary transformation," says Bittman. "In many cases, this involves creating a separate organization, separate from traditional IT processes (at least during the incubation phase of these projects), and focus primarily on a simple project that everyone agrees with the IT department and its clients. "
According to Gartner, progress in private cloud are extremely variable, the majority of small-scale deployments starting with a limited scope and functionality. "However, as these private cloud solutions will grow, the resulting cloud infrastructures are likely based on the technologies chosen for pilot projects," analysts said.
