4. Why the Cloud? Enterprises are seeing early benefits of cloud computing: Productivity Quicker time to market, Fast updates Anywhere access Elasticity Infrastructure Advantages Reliability and Fault Tolerance Faster Deployment No patching or maintenance Economics Low cost of entry You pay for what you use
5. “ ” Why the Cloud? By 2012, 80% of Fortune 1000 enterprises will be using some cloud computing services, 20% of businesses will own no IT assets The bottom line: Early adopters are finding serious benefits, meaning that cloud computing is real and warrants your scrutiny as a new set of platforms for business applications
7. Cloud Benefits Simplifies and Optimizes IT Public cloud business models allow IT organizations to defer costs today. Long term, overall IT prices will stabilize 7
8. On demand, self-service business models increase IT agility Enables Faster ROI through better resource management Cloud computing vendors employ highly skilled IT professionals to operate their service 8 Cloud Benefits
9. As cloud computing trust increases, IT organizations will use cloud services as a disaster recovery option Public and externally facing private clouds can more easily support a mobile workforce 9 Cloud Benefits
11. Cloud Benefits - Real-world Cost Analysis Customer: Seamless and predictable scale up ability. Very low starting cost with 99.9% availability. Ethos(ISV): Easy to develop and maintain.
13. Cloud Benefits - Real-world Performance Analysis For very limited service requests, Azure-based solution takes slightly longer time to response than self-hosted solution. When more service requests come in, response time of self-hosted solution’s longest transaction will be longer. Meanwhile, response time of Azure-based solution’s longest transaction looks comparatively steady. When service requests increase rapidly, transaction rates of self-hosted solution drops down very fast, meanwhile transaction rates of Azure-based solution looks comparatively better.

44. XLR8 Overview Designed both for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and for Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings on private or hybrid clouds (Windows Azure) Through XLR8, ISVs can write apps on Azure that directly integrate with the companies legacy data and systems. App App App XLR8 Enterprise Cloud Platform XLR8 enterprise cloud platform brings a new level of standardization and modularity to enterprise software. Open APIs create a layer of abstraction in 3 dimensions: On-premise legacy systems 3rd party or internal apps Unified user experience on multiple digital channels Legacy System Legacy System Legacy System $30bn market: Gartner forecast SaaS market to reach $16bn by 20141. Forrester predict a PaaS market of $15bn by 20162. 1 “Forecast Analysis: Software as a Service, Worldwide”, July 2010 1 “Platform-as-a-Service Market Sizing”, July 2009
45. XLR8 Business Value Large Enterprise will benefit by reducing cost while improving business agility and keeping strategic control of data Small and Medium Enterprise benefit because isolated SaaS modules can now become fully integrated into enterprise software suites 3rd party/internal suppliers and independent software vendors (ISVs) will benefit as they get a direct distribution channel to customers/users
46. A Unified, Social User Experience Create Stickiness All business processes can integrate into a dynamically generated module menu. This means enterprise users could access all business systems directly from the dashboard! The right column is a mashup of dynamically updated App Widgets.

Using the cloud, IT organizations can quickly provision IT resources whenever business demands, especially for short-term IT resource needsPay as you go: IT organizations pay for only the IT services they use, enabling better resource tracking, budget forecasting and faster return on invested IT dollarCeiling price: IT organization consume as much as they like (up to a ceiling) encouraging outside consumption without process red-tapeCloud computing business models require providers to hire, train, and retain highly skilled employees to ensure service quality
Rather than using a co-location facility or a new data center, IT organizations will backup data to the cloudInternet-based clouds (public and private) provide greater IT service access to mobile workforce than internally hosted IT services accessed via VPN
