ONUG Open Hybrid Cloud Working Group–March 2, 2017, Meeting Notes
BY BOB WYSOCKI, GE
EC3 meeting Feb 28th
Good meeting conducted between our Working Group and E3C
Strong alignment stated by Goldman Sachs of what they need to work on vs our Working Groups
High focus seems to center on connecting to CSP’s and how to best do that – perhaps an area for “starter kit collaboration”
ACTION: Nick to wait on proposed next steps from E3C
451 Research TCO Model
Nick will ask 451 to provide incentive for companies to participate; eg, 3-month advance view of results/deeper dive & personalized session to go over results
451 is behind on their strawman
ACTION: Members should be discussing their ability to participate/share data internally within their enterprises to gain agreement/identify any limitations
- Initial target list of respondents: GE, Fidelity, FedEx, Citi, Merck
- Bob to follow-up this week to confirm with each company
ACTION:
- Bob asked Eric for ETA to help set expectations
- Nick asked Eric for a “letter of engagement” that IT executives can use to communicate the terms of engagement, anonymity and value to them, so to speed up the approval process
CSP Barrier draft input
Discussion surround fact that only 4 companies have provider “CSP barrier” input to date.
Nick stated that this is a basic need to fuel the Working Group; please take the time to participate
Discussed panel candidates for the ONUG Spring Session
ACTION:
- Bob to follow-up with individual companies yet to respond to stimulate their input
- Nick to invite CSP participants to ONUG Working Group meeting on Mar 26th to review top 5 barrier input
- Nick to invite Equinix to participate in ONUG Spring
- Nick to reach out to desired panel members
