Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical Cloud Infrastructure Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step Work Plans and maturity diagnostics for any Cloud Infrastructure related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Cloud Infrastructure specific requirements:


STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...

  • The latest quick edition of the Cloud Infrastructure Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.

Organized in a Data Driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…

  • Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation

Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 986 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of Process Design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Cloud Infrastructure improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 986 standard requirements:

  1. Ids/ips traffic pattern analysis can often detect or block attacks such as a denial-of-service attack or a network scan. However, in some cases this is legitimate traffic (such as using cloud infrastructure for load testing or security testing). Does the cloud provider have a documented exception process for allowing legitimate traffic that the ids/ips flags as an attack pattern?

  2. Hybrid Clouds have unique security requirements that legacy security cannot meet. Since traditional Security Tools provide limited visibility into cloud infrastructure, how are you going to protect what you can not see?

  3. Can your application be packaged into a virtual machine (vm) instance and run on cloud infrastructure or does it need specialized hardware and/or special access to hardware that the AWS cloud cannot provide?

  4. How does the programming paradigm address the division of computation between Edge Computing infrastructure and (remote) cloud infrastructure, and between Edge Computing infrastructure and devices?

  5. What works and what does not work, what is costing you time and money that does not need to, what might be an ideal solution to solve corresponding issues and unify your infrastructure?

  6. Which cloud services classification poses the greatest number of restrictions when the customer aims for flexibility for tailoring the complete platform including hardware and software?

  7. What procurement process is used to ensure that cloud infrastructure software and hardware has been supplied by a legitimate source and has not been maliciously modified in transit?

  8. How do you support the needs of legacy, business critical applications, and provide flexible infrastructure to support new virtual machine-based applications or a migration to SaaS?

  9. How comfortable do you feel that you can look that far out and predict the future for data centres, Cloud Computing and your organization of infrastructure services in general?

  10. Which cloud deployment model is typically preferred by an individual who is least concerned about the security or availability risks and most concerned about reducing cost?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any Cloud Infrastructure project with this in-depth Cloud Infrastructure Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose Cloud Infrastructure projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
  • Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
  • Integrate recent advances in Cloud Infrastructure and put Process Design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Cloud Infrastructure investments work better.

This Cloud Infrastructure All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
