It has always been a challenge to explain and convince top management including the Chief Financial Officers to embark into Cloud Computing. Predominantly because many still unclear or not so very sure what is cloud computing. Is it managed hosting, co-location or managed services? While technology providers and vendors continue to confuse management technology jargon, the need to embark into cloud computing seems inevitable...just like any others before such as the need to have emails, websites, online transactions, web based applications etc. This presentation provides layman's, easy to understand meaning of cloud computing, why is it important for management,especially the CFO to seriously consider embarking into and some statistics and trend of how the world will move toward cloud.

4. What‟s the Correct Way
• Do you do cloud?
• Lets put it on the cloud
• We should go into cloud
• Is your application cloud ready?
When not sure…just add “thingy” after cloud

5. Is it a Hype??

6. What Is Cloud Computing?
Myth & Facts
Myths
• Cloud computing will eliminate the need for IT personnel.
• Cloud computing will eliminate IT expense
• Cloud computing will put data security in jeopardy
Facts
• Cloud technology is real
• This technology should not be ignored

7. Cloud Concern
Data privacy and security was among the top concern for cloud usage. Some
key findings were:
• About 44% still believe that cloud services are unproven and, therefore, too
risky, although less than 10% feel strongly about this.
• 70% want to know where there data is located.
• 51% consider data privacy as an issue that would cause them to hesitate
moving functions to the cloud.
• About 1/3 of SMBs believe that the long-run cost of cloud services will be
higher than through the traditional model, and about 20% feel that in the
long run costs will be lower in the long run.
• 1/2 of respondents indicate that data privacy concerns would make them
think twice about moving some apps to the cloud.
• Only about 20% of SMBs believe that data is less secure in the cloud than
it is in their on-premise systems.
• 36% overall, and 49% of larger SMBs (with 51–250 employees), actually
think that data is as secure in the cloud as in their own systems.

8. Where It Come From?
• EVOLUTION MODELS
– GRID
• Solved large problems through parallel computing, which introduced
software services hence cloud
– WEB 2.0
• User centric applications put pressure on the needs of software services and
infrastructure services
– ISP
• From purely stringent hosting, co-location then ASP and later more dynamic,
optimized internet infrastructure….
• TECHNOLOGY PRESSURE
– From vendors point of view….
• ECONOMIC PRESSURE
– From business perspective
• GREEN

9. Economic Pressure
Infrastructure IT Staffs
Hardware
Software
Today, businesses feel that to automate/ computerize their business
cost them a fortune due to the ever-increasing price of IT products
and services
Renewals
Maintenance
Upgrades

10. Definition of Cloud Computing ?
• IT related capabilities across the internet
• Pool of abstracted, highly scalable and managed
infrastructure
• Delivery of computing as a service rather than a
product, whereby shared resources, software, and
information....

11. Our Definition
The definition that we like :-
Cloud Computing is a way to deliver IT services by subscription

13. Because Cloud is on Subscription Basis…
CLOUD COMPUTING HAS PROVEN TO HELP REDUCE THE
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP BY 46% MINIMUM

14. 5 Key Cloud Characteristics
• On-demand self-service
• Ubiquitous (present everywhere) network
access
• Location independent resource pooling
• Rapid elasticity
• Pay per use

15. What Cloud Computing “IS NOT”?
It is not Network Computing
• Application and Data are not confined to any specific Company‟s
Server
• No VPN Access
• Encompasses multiple companies, multiple servers and multiple
networks
It is not Traditional Outsourcing
• Not a contract to host data by 3rd party Hosting Business
• No subcontracting for computing services for specific outside firm

16. So What Do you Subscribe?
• Everything A_A_S or XXX AAS
• XXX As A Service
• Make sure you get it right
–PaaS
–SaaS
–IaaS

17. The Cloud Pyramid
Whether it is software, platform, infrastructure or even professional
services to manage your IT assets are available on subscription basis

18. Snapshot - IaaS

19. Other AAS
• NAAS
– Network as a Service
– Provide a global network capability, CDNs for example
– Example, known video CDNs like Akamai, Torrents, Amazon CloudFront
• DAAS
– Data as a Service
– DaaS - web service offering that provides customers with access and analytics
around a set of proprietary set of aggregated data.
– Example -Salary.com collects user data by offering individuals the ability to
benchmark their compensation levels against others.
• CAAS (Not Leasing)
– Communications as a Service (CaaS) is a type of outsourced enterprise
communications solution where a third party vendor (known as CaaS vendor) is
responsible for the management of hardware and software required for delivering
Voice over IP (Voice as a Service), instant messaging, and video conferencing
applications using fixed and mobile devices.
– Example: IP-Centrex, a remote PBX

20. Traditional hosting vs. cloud computing
Co-Location Dedicated Hosting Cloud Hosting
Time Weeks to Months Days to Weeks Minutes
Scalability Slowest, Rigid & Slower, somewhat Instant, Flexible,
Costly flexible, costly Pay-per-usage
Cost High CapEx Costly, sometimes No contracts,
month/year contracts, usage based, no
no CapEx upfront costs
“Green” Low Low High - virtualised
Pricing Buy Servers & Colo Rent Servers & Hosting Rent based on
Model costs whether used costs whether used or usage only
or not not

21. Cost benefit analysis
 Remote accessibility to data and files/ outside office hours.
 Less labor-intensive.
 Pay for only what you need.
 Scale up and down according to the business demand

22. Popularity of cloud in neighboring country

23. What companies use cloud for

24. How Cloud can help you..
Reduce costs Increase reliability Faster time to value
•Pay for only what we use •Improve system reliability •Quickly take advantage of
•Reduce hardware •Improve system availability latest technologies
investment •Simplify updating and
•Reduce software licenses upgrading
•Lower labor and IT support •Increase speed of
costs deployment
•Lower outside maintenance •Scale IT resources to meet
cost business needs

25. Types of Cloud
• Public Cloud
• Private Cloud
• Hybrid Cloud

26. Public Cloud
• The services are delivered to the client via the Internet from a third
party service provider.
• •Example: Amazon
Compute Services
Storage Services Database Services
Internet

27. Private Cloud
• Infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or
by a third-party and hosted internally or externally
• There are less restriction on network bandwidth, fewer security exposures and other
legal requirements compared to the public Cloud..
• Example: HP Data Centers
ENTERPRISE
Private Cloud
Compute Services
Compute Services
Storage Services
Storage Services Database Services
Database Services

28. Public vs Private
Public Private
Illusion of infinite resources on-demand Yes Unlikely
Elimination of up-front commitment by users Yes No
True pay-as-you-go on short-term basis Yes No
Economy of scale Yes No
Better utilization through workload multiplexing Yes Depends
on size
Better utilization & simplified operations Yes Yes

29. Hybrid Cloud
• composition of two or more clouds (private, community or public) that remain unique
entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models
• Example: ERP in Private cloud and Sales & Email on public
