Advances & Predictions for the Personal Cloud
1. Where to Next?:
Advances and predictions for
personal cloud computing

2. Objectives
• Define „the cloud‟
• Define personal cloud
• Discuss:
▫ cloud types/models
▫ 10 popular end-user cloud-based apps
▫ current cloud trends
▫ projected cloud implications
3. What is ‘The Cloud”
• “storing and accessing data and programs over
the Internet, instead of your computer‟s hard
drive…the cloud is a metaphor for the Internet”
(PC Magazine, 3/13/13)
7. Cloud Service Models
• Software as a Service (SaaS)
▫ End-Users
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
▫ Application Developers
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
▫ System Administrators
29. Pew Internet & American Life Project
• 85% of U.S. adults own a cell phone, of
those, 53% own smartphones
• Mobile computing trends continue to rise:
“nearly 2/3 of American adults connect to Web
via smartphone, tablet computer, or on the go
laptop”.
• Estimated, in 2016, 10 billion Internet devices
globally or about 1.4 devices per
person, smartphone traffic to increase 50 times
next 4 years
30. Prediction: The new PC
• Gartner predicts personal clouds will soon
become the new „PC” (Forbes Tech 12/9/12)
▫ Where users store, access, personalize digital lives
▫ With personal cloud, shift away from client
device—no single platform or vendor will
dominate
• Pew: “71% technology stakeholders & critics
believe that in 2020, most people won‟t do work
with software running on PC, but Internet based
applications like Google Docs”.
31. Prediction: ‘Internet of Things’ gains
traction
• Everyday things have their own IP
address, collecting, storing, organizing data
• Gartner lists IOT as 1 of 10 top technologies in
2013
▫ Pharmaceutical containers
▫ Smart posters
▫ Applicances
▫ Automobiles
32. Prediction: Enhanced Personalized
data/information
• Niche, purpose-specific web-based
applications—growing „applification‟
• “The Quantified Self” --Personal data analytics
• Home based „local‟ private clouds
33. Prediction: Open learning will grow
• MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses)
▫ Khan Academy
▫ Coursera
▫ Udacity
▫ edX
34. Prediction: Phrase:‘to the cloud’ will
go away
• More specific terminology used
• More discretion in putting it/all in the cloud
• Companies to drop „cloud‟ from name
• Hype cycle will show „healthier‟ trend line
35. Take Aways
• “The Cloud” is big, diverse, multi-leveled, widely
purposed, and not a new concept
• Personal cloud computing, consumer/end-user
applications have benefits and risks
• Personal cloud applications will likely increase
in number, scope, and functionality as cloud
computing continues to define how we
access, use, and organize information
• Stay informed…the cloud will continue to evolve

New---added video—click imageIn recent years, I think that this has sort of become something we've been hearing about more oftenmostly because the ability to do it at a much larger scale due to increased mobility, wider bandwidth abilities, but also trends such as open data, open government data sets have driven this idea and discussion further. But,In some ways, we’ve had cloud computing for some time and many of us are using—knowingly or unknowingly using cloud computingWeb based email is a good example, I think….mail like gmail, yahoo, windows, etc. The cost for users is 0…but the host..google, or yahoo, microsoft, etc have email and web servers to support the software and data created by users. But as individual users, we don't need to pay anything usually, download software, or have the hardware to run the applications. Web based email..is in the cloud so to speak. There are some other applications that have become popular that are cloud-based--meaning the cost, maintenance, responsibility for integrity and security--belong elsewhere to someone else..perhaps somewhere far far away.We will be discussing some. Insert notes from CiL—Cloud computing presentation
Most of these terms are applicable to business-end cloud computing, not personal but wanted to clarify terminology as they’re thrown around..Software—end-user product—includes many personal cloud apps we will discussPlatform—for developers looking to develop their own software solutionsInfrastructure—IT backbone services—networking, storage, etc.
A major motivation for even introducing the models and types of cloud computing was to emphasize how much the cloud encompasses, resulting in understandable confusion about the varying concepts, concern using cloud applications and to what extent we are ‘cloud computing’ when using apps like drop box. In short, we are only discussing a small piece of the cloud today when discussing personal/end-user apps.
