12. Cloud Computing â Quote 1
â Economic downturn,
the appeal of that
cost advantage will
be greatly magnified"
(IDC, 2008)
13. Cloud Computing â Quote 2
âNot only is it faster and
more flexible, it is
cheaper. [âŚ] the emergence
of cloud models radically
alters the cost benefit
decisionâ
(FT Mar 6, 2009)
22. "cloud" - definitions
⢠Infrastructure aaS?
⢠Grid / utility / "on demand" computing
⢠Shared utility
⢠eg Amazon EC2
⢠Platform aaS?
⢠Ready-for-deployment scalable application platform
⢠Google apps, Force.com, Heroku, Bungee Labs
⢠Microsoft! (Azure)
⢠Software aaS?
⢠Used to be called "application service providers"
⢠Multitenanted architectures: SalesForce.com, Xero
⢠...
⢠Wide area SOA?
⢠"Universe of all (web) services"
⢠WS-* and REST standards
⢠Data as a service?
23. Definition
âCloud computing is simply a
buzzword used to repackage grid
computing and utility computing, both
of which have existed for decades.â
24. Demystifying the cloud
âThe interesting thing about cloud computing
is that weâve redefined cloud computing to
include everything that we already do. [âŚ]
The computer industry is the only industry
that is more fashion-driven than womenâs
fashion.
Maybe Iâm an idiot, but I have no idea what
anyone is talking about. What is it? Itâs
complete gibberish. Itâs insane. When is this
idiocy going to stop?â
Larry Ellison
25. Proper Definition
Source: NIST Definition of Cloud Computing v15
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing
resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and
services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal
management effort or service provider interaction.:

⢠Simpler to manage
⢠OpEx
Private Cloud:
⢠Lower total costs
⢠Greater control over security,
compliance & quality of service
⢠Easier integration
⢠CapEx & OpEx
Both offer:
⢠High efficiency
⢠High availability

38. Cloud Computing: Pluses
â˘Elasticity
â˘On demand scaling
â˘The illustration of infinite
resources
â˘Pay-as-you go
â˘No up-front cost
â˘Pay what you need: no risk for
under or over provisioning
39. Cloud Computing: Minuses
â˘Placing your valuable apps/data on a 3rd
party
â˘A rogue cloud admin
â˘How do you apply governance/compliance
â˘Your VMs will/may co-reside in the same
machines/network as your competitors
â˘Information leaking
â˘Denial of service attacks

54. Action Plan Forward
1. Be tactical (low hanging fruit)
2. Strategic opportunity where PaaS delivers unique value
3. Ensure applications are cloud ready architectures
4. Start managing ICT as a service now
