What is Cloud Computing? ,[object Object],[object Object],Definitions are forever changing In March 2007, Dell applied to trademark the term "cloud computing" ( U.S. Trademark 77,139,082 ) in the United States . The "Notice of Allowance" it received in July 2008 was cancelled on August 6 , resulting in a formal rejection of the trademark application less than a week later. Cloud computing is Internet ("cloud") based development and use of computer technology. It is a paradigm of computing where dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. -- Wikipedia.org

Private Clouds ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ VMware’s focus is on enabling our customers to run their datacenters as internal clouds and operate in a far more flexible and cost-efficient way,” said Paul Maritz, president and chief executive officer, VMware . “Our customers want the plumbing to disappear – in the datacenter, on the desktop and in the cloud – so they can focus their staff time and IT budget on delivering business value. They want cloud-like services so they can act as hosting providers to their internal customers. Our Virtual Datacenter Operating System Initiative will accelerate customers down the virtualization path so that they can run their IT as an internal cloud service. The VMware vSphere generation of products, which are currently in development, will be a new class of software that delivers on this strategy. And, as customers become cloud-enabled, they will have the flexibility to securely and efficiently expand their internal clouds to tap the resources offered by external service providers through our VMware vCloud Initiative. I am excited to share the progress we’ve made on our initiatives at VMworld Europe.” VMWare press release – February 2009

Why Benchmarks? Traditional metrics are based on percentage consumption of a fixed resource. Cloud Computing metrics are based on metering usage or consumption of an elastic resource Traditional IT ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Cloud Metrics ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
