The Journey to the Cloud: How to Get Started

Traditionally, the provisioning process for new application environments and infrastructure resources contains numerous planning, technical, communication, and testing steps that can sometimes span over multiple weeks or even months. Condensing this long, error-prone and often painful process to 15 minutes is the promise of the private cloud. But how can you leverage server, network, storage, automation, and orchestration resources that are already in place in your own datacenter to create a private cloud?

Find out when you join EMA Senior Analyst, Torsten Volk, and Jason Schroedl from Cisco's Cloud & Systems Management Technology Group, for a discussion on what to look for when considering a private cloud solution for your organization. You will learn how you can benefit from existing capabilities inherent in your current IT environment and how to best get started with your first private cloud deployment project.

Webinar attendees will also learn how to:

• Select a technology platform for your private cloud
• Structure your first cloud implementation project
• Avoid common pitfalls
• Ensure scalability of your starter cloud
• Leverage Cisco’s UCS platform for your private cloud

You will also hear how Cisco’s own IT organization has developed their cloud implementation for increased business agility and faster time to IT-as-a-Service.

All registrants to this Webinar will also receive a new white paper from EMA entitled “The Journey to the Cloud.”*
