Assigning a single metric (such as 6fusion’s WAC) to available computing resources and different tasks means that accurately managing resources and considering the cost of competing solutions is possible.” Source: GigaOM October 2012; Metered IT: the path to utility computing

- 7. Why do we need a market for IaaS? • Doesn’t basic price competition between providers like Amazon, Rackspace and Google effectively give us a market today? • What do providers gain from something more structured? • What do customers gain from something more structured? • Do any of these markets exist today?

- 9. How markets succeed… and fail • How do other markets and exchanges work? – Supply & demand – A shared concept of the unit of trade – Scale – Regulation? – Friction? • Futures and Hedges and Shorts… and Speculation – Are these an essential part of a market or an added benefit? – How might they work for compute resources?
- 10. Apples, oranges, & straight bananas http://www.flickr.com/photos/93416311@N00/2655909941/
- 11. Apples, oranges, and straight bananas • How essential is a shared method of measurement? – 6fusion’s Workload Allocation Cube (WAC), etc – How many shared methods of measurement can a single market support? – Could different markets use different measurements? – How do we measure the right things, the right way? – A ton (or tonne!) of coal is obviously and tangibly a ton (or tonne) of coal. What is a gigaom of compute, and can I check it before I consume it? – Do we need a shared unit of compute? What would that even mean?
- 12. How do we get there? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cosmographia_Northern_Europe_1482.jpg
- 13. How do we get there? • How do we get from our current state to a future in which compute is routinely and understandably bought and sold? • How many exchanges are interested or needed? • How many vendors are interested or needed? • How much consensus is there on models? • How many customers do we need to be viable, and what does their demand have to look like? • Will it work without Amazon? • How long will this take? • Will anything be better, or will a few traders just make some money?
- 14. 14 Questions

Hinweis der Redaktion
- 6fusion is built “from the metering technology out” First provider to figure this out – key differentiator Makes it possible to assemble and deliver massively scalable IaaS 6fusion’s platform architecture is highly centralized and hardware/hypervisor agnostic Makes true hybrid use possible Allows for global distribution of workloads Removes hardware/hypervisor vendor lock-in risk 6fusion’s Workload Allocation Cube Makes it inherently possible to quantify supply and demand of compute, the basis of: Migration planning Operational cost allocation Cost performance benchmarking 6fusion’s platform is based on REST API Makes the UI fully customizable Allows for modular integration of 6fusion tools with third party (Bank) applications
