6. We are reaching a breaking point … In distributed computing environments, up to 85 percent of computing capacity sits idle Percentage of executives who report a security breach and aren’t confident they can prevent future breaches 70 percent is spent on maintaining current IT infrastructures versus adding new capabilities Percentage of CIOs who want to improve the way they use and manage their data 85% idle 70 cents per US$1 80% 78% Today’s IT infrastructure is under tremendous pressure and is finding it difficult to keep up…

7. Open Standards: Invention? Or Reinvention? Or is it somewhere in between…? reinventing standards using existing standards vendor-driven standards customer-driven standards proprietary clouds open, interoperable clouds OR OR OR

9. The reality of cloud standards Dozens of new communities and organizations have formed around cloud standards including industries and governments (e.g. China CESI).

13. North Carolina State University Circa 2004 " We reached a critical point – at a time when we were confronting serious challenges to the campus’ student computing model, the NC Supercomputing Center closed due to state funding cuts. Unfortunately, only 50% of the amount needed to solve both problems was available, leaving us with the option of doing both services poorly or inventing a novel solution without any reassuring evidence that one existed. We chose latter course of action, daunting being preferable to failure, and the rest is history.” - Mladen A. Vouk, Head of Computer Science, and Associate Vice-Provost for Information Technology

15. Opportunity and Risk - expanding the art of the possible Service Architecture Ownership Defining the Cloud - Decision points that defined the Virtual Computing Lab Your Cloud decision involves three key questions: what’s the service type, the architecture, and the ownership model.
