This document discusses how cloud computing can benefit businesses. It uses an analogy comparing building a house versus renting an apartment to explain cloud computing versus traditional on-premise IT infrastructure. Some key benefits of cloud computing mentioned include cost elasticity, power elasticity, high availability, and long-term cost reduction. It provides examples of major companies that have adopted cloud computing and discusses options for businesses to transition to hybrid or private cloud models. The document recommends that businesses starting new should put all services in the cloud for maximum efficiency and simplification.

1. How Your Business Can Take Advantage of Cloud Computing Cloud Computing Andy Harjanto

2. First, What the heck is Cloud Computing First, what the heck is Cloud Computing?

3. Let’s use a simple analogy Say you just moved to a city, and you’re looking for a place to live

4. You can either Builda house or Rentan apartment

5. If you builda house, there are a few important decisions you have to make…

6. Howbigis the house? are you planning to grow a large family? Remodel, addition typically cost a lot more once the house is built

7. But, you get a chance to customizeit flooring tile windows floor plan Roof lighting landscaping

8. Once the house is built, you’re responsible for maintenance Hire Landscaper Pay property tax Electrician Plumber Water Electricity

9. Let’s look at renting?

10. Consider a builder in your city builds a massivenumber of apartment units

11. A unit can easilybe converted into a 2,3,4 or more units

12. You make a fewer, simpler decisions You can start with one unit and grow later, or downsize

13. But… You do nothave a lot of options to customize your unit

14. triple pane windows green materials high capacity electricity high speed Internet However, this builder will provides you with high quality infrastructure

15. No need to worryabout maintenance cost No need to Hirelandscapers, electricians, plumbers

16. Pay as You Go Just pay your rent and utilities

17. Let’s translate to Cloud Computing?

18. Let’s Look At Life Without Cloud Computing aka Today

19. Typical IT Cost Structure Data Center Software License, Development, Maintenance IT Staff Support

20. As the business expands… …need to expand your data center too

21. But… Business Contraction Means…. Increasingly Unused Computing Power

22. GlobalExpansion? Better start investing computinginfrastructure in that region (gov regulation, performance)

23. You are in full control over Applications Data Security Privacy

24. Typically, majority of cost structure isfromlabor cost (IT, Support) High Fixed Cost

25. Now, Let’s look what cloud computing could do for you

26. There are many services you can use for your IT needs Let’s look at 3 major services

27. Virtually UnlimitedComputing Power use only what you need

28. Example We can increasecomputing power from 2 units to N in minutes, with a simple configuration change. We can also decreaseit as quickly and easily too

30. Traffic Spike because of Media Coverage

31. Short-term research

32. Business contractionComputing Elasticity

33. Typical Compute Pricing Per Hour (Elapsed Time) $0.10 - $1.00 depends on server specifications Computer running 24 hour a day costs as low as $72/month

34. Virtually UnlimitedStorage For storing your documents, files

35. Example You canupload, downloadas many files as you want, deleteor backup unused files to reduce cost

37. Multimedia storage

39. Virtually Unlimited (Structured) Data databases updates queries transactions relational entity base

40. Example Create as many databases as you need

42. Sales data

43. Customer data

44. Employee data

45. Inventory data

47. There are a few more Cloud Services Queue private cloud Machine Image Web Services Federation

48. and you can pick and choose one or more cloud services Even you can mix the cloud providers Now, we’re cooking!

49. Your IT costs would likely to be mostly variable costs Storage BandwidthCompute

50. Talking to your cloud services HTTP REST JSON XML Typically done via standard, simple, modern protocols and formats

51. TypicalSLAs around 99.95 % uptime

52. Although data and computing are accessible everywhere You choose where they reside

53. But, in order to be flexible and elastic, the platforms on which you build applications have limited feature sets

54. Cloud providers would provide heavy lifting Server Crash Monitoring Data Replication Network Outage Catastrophic Events

55. All of these require MASSIVEdata centers and capital investments Easily measured in billions (US$)

56. Only a handful of major players can build the infrastructure

57. How My Business Can Take Advantage of Cloud Computing

58. If you can start over.. The best model to put all services in the cloud Files Data Compute Clients Clients

59. You’ve seen this model works well many times before 300 millions 55 millions …and many others

60. 140 million daily status updates 300 million users facebook 70% users outside US 14 million videos uploaded monthly 2 billion pictures uploaded monthly

61. All of these are done with 1 engineer 1 million users ratio If we could be just 1% as efficient…

62. Of course, that’s not that easy You may already have millions lines of code that run your business

63. People try to put the puzzletogether Cloud Computing Traditional Software

64. Mix #1: Private Cloud Existing IT Infrastructure VPN Cloud

65. Mix #2: Hybrid Model Example, accessing cloud data from existing infrastructure Existing IT Infrastructure Data/Storage Cloud Computing/Applications

66. Does mix them together worth doing?

67. Now, it’s time to simplify your business

68. We’ve been on this road many times before It’s painful first, but at the end, we come ahead

69. Let’s look at a few examples down to memory lane Often simpler technology can compete and win against superior technology

70. User Interface 1996 Rich UI HTML

71. Protocol lightweightsimple heavy feature rich JSON REST SOAP CORBA DCOM RPC

72. Communication 140 characters text message Email

73. How do I jump? Or Should I? this is the cloud platform this is your business

74. Second part of the presentation will address just that Simplifying Your Business On the Cloud http://www.slideshare.net/Guppers/10-simple-ways-to-simplify-your-business-on-the-cloud

75. …and address Elephantin the room too Security Privacy Identity

76. In Summary…

78. Power Elasticity

79. High Availability

80. Scalability

81. Global Ready
