Summary

What do organisations and IT departments really need in order to digitally transform and be competitive? Buzzwords and benefits are bandied around but as-a-Service is suffering from a serious lack of clarity! Michael Bird untangles the radical aaS revolution - a journey that starts with Salesforce, makes a few stops on the hybrid cloud highway, and culminates on the precipice of the digital age. We tackle cloud architecture and infrastructure with Paul Kennedy, to explore how you can get the best of both worlds and achieve the perfect trifecta: scalability, simplicity, and speed. Scott Thomson and Reuben Melville explain the new consumption model, from agility to utility billing. Plus, Tony Clement discusses the challenges organisations are facing to stay innovative and competitive, and why real transformation comes from within.

In the IT world, everybody is talking about as a service, from software to platforms, infrastructure

0:09.0

to everything. Buzzwords and benefits are banded around. Agility, cloud native, rapid elasticity,

0:18.1

on demand flexibility, consumption models, utility billing, what's missing?

0:21.9

A bit of clarity.

0:23.6

So the software as a service model has disrupted traditional IT, and more importantly,

0:29.3

it's created pressure on IT to move faster.

0:33.9

That's Tony Clement, a strategic cloud advisor at HPE.

0:38.5

With the help of Tony and today's guests, we'll be attempting to untangle as a service,

0:45.3

a story that encompasses cloud computing and digital transformation.

0:49.4

In an attempt to answer those burning questions, what does everything as a service actually mean? How can I

0:56.3

digitally transform when I've spent so much on kit? Which cloud capabilities enhance your ability

1:02.1

to compete and isn't as a service just rental? All this and much more. I'm Michael Bird and this

1:09.9

is Technology Untangled.

1:15.7

As a service and cloud computing may seem like relatively new terms, but they've been around

1:21.4

quite a bit longer than you might think. It's time for a little history.

1:28.5

US computer scientist JCR Licklider, the man who inspired ARPNET, envisaged a world where

1:34.7

everyone would be connected and be able to access specific programs and data, regardless of

1:40.2

where the access point might be located.

1:44.8

It had to do with the military to ensure that even if you have the worst disaster,

1:51.9

you actually had a self-healing network.

1:55.6

In 1972, then you had IBM's virtual machines, so VMS.

2:01.7

And that was the ability to be able to take IBM's large computers and to run virtual machines inside the computer.
