4. Cloud Computing (Definiciones)
Wikipedia:
“Cloud computing es un paradigma que permite ofrecer servicios de
computación a través de Internet”
Russ Daniels de HP:
“Escalado horizontal, control de recursos en grado fino, autoservicios, coste
variable según uso”
ServePath:
“The use of a 3rd party service to perform computing needs on a publicly
accessible IP basis. Cloud computing services are usually performed in
consolidated Data Centers to keep costs low while improving overall
utilization”
Elementos habituales en todas las definiciones:
 Acceso a través de Internet (la “nube”)
 Virtualización
 Escalabilidad
 Coste por uso

5. Cloud Computing: Conceptos
Definimos al “Cloud Computing” como un estilo de computación donde los
recursos de IT son:
Brindados a los clientes como un servicio utilizando tecnologías de
Internet.
Masivamente escalables.
De alcance global.
Distribuibles dinámicamente, “a demanda” en cantidad y calidad medibles.
Asignados Just in Time
Servicios a múltiples clientes que comparten los mismo recursos.
Se paga solo por el servicio que se utiliza.
La virtualización es el fundamento para avanzar hacia los servicios
del cloud computing

6. SaaS, PaaS, IaaS ?!!? Los “aaS”
SaaS (Software as a Service): Significa una sóla instancia del software
que corre en la infraestructura del proveedor y sirve a múltiples
organizaciones de clientes. Ejemplo: Salesforce.com
PaaS (Plataform as a Service): Es la encapsulación de una abstracción
de un ambiente de desarrollo. Ejemplo: rackspacecloud.com.
IaaS (Infraestructura as a Service): Es un medio de entrega de
almacenamiento y capacidades de cómputo como servicios
estandarizados en la red. Ejemplo: Amazon EC2

8. Las empresas hacia el cloud computing
“Las empresas dispondrán de una infraestructura dedicada para
algunos propósitos y consumirán servicios On Demand
obtenidos de la nube para otros.”

9. Algunos Beneficios del Cloud Computing
Las infraestructuras de Cloud Computing proporcionan mayor capacidad de
adaptación, recuperación de desastres y reducción al mínimo de los
tiempos de inactividad.
Se redirigen los costos de CAPEX y problemas de capacidad al cloud
provider.
La posibilidad de adquirir recursos bajo demanda.
Convertir costos fijos en variables.
Permite mayor flexibilidad y escalabilidad en el crecimiento.

10. Virtualización
 La Virtualización consiste en la abstracción de los recursos físicos
existentes en un equipo informático para poder correr sobre el
mismo equipos virtuales.
 Cada uno de estos equipos virtuales ve un servidor completo,
interactuando con el mismo a través de la tecnología de
virtualización.

11. Atributos impulsores de la virtualización
Business and Technology Working as One

12. Beneficios de la virtualización
Reducción de los esfuerzos de administración:
 Menores costos operacionales
 Menos servers para administrar.
 Rapid deployment
 Ahora 1-6 Semanas (Compra, setup, software, test).
 Con la virtualización se puede reducir a horas.
Reducción en los costos de infraestructura y servidores.
Mejora en la utilización de los recursos.
Incrementa y mejora la disponibilidad.
Herramientas para mejorar la seguridad.

13. Next Generation Data Center
A medida que la infraestructura IT se vuelve más compleja, los requisitos de
IT cambian de gerenciar operaciones técnicas a operaciones de servicios.
Esto plantea la necesidad de transformación del DC.
Cuatro fuerzas evolutivas La nueva generación de Data Centers
Están dando forma al NGDC será…
• Una infraestructura provisionada
dinámicamente por medio del uso de
capacidades automatizadas soportando el
proceso de negocio de la compañía.
• Servicios de tecnología construidos sobre
infraestructura virtual.
• Procesos estandarizados.
• Arquitecturas tecnológicas que permitan
consolidar recursos de IT.
