- 6. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc. What is Cloud Computing? It is not a Technology Revolution but rather a business and process evolution. It is about how we use technologies.
- 7. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc. Revolution Evolution of Cloud Computing Data processing and decisions kept to a select few A long long time ago… (1970) Raised-floor Data Center Dumb Terminal People accessed large mainframe computers through devices referred to As dumb terminals. These terminals were primarily sources for data to be passed to and from the mainframe where the data was processed.
- 8. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc. Revolution Evolution of Cloud Computing Move data processing, decision making to the masses in a controlled way In the 1980s Client/Server Was Born Client/Server An architecture in which the user's PC (the client) is the requesting machine and the server is the supplying machine, both of which are connected via a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, client/server was the hot buzzword as applications were migrated from centralized minicomputers and mainframes to networks of desktop computers.
- 9. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc. Revolution Evolution of Cloud Computing Move data processing, decision making, and collaboration to everyone And Now in 2011 it’s Cloud Computing What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is the delivery of information technology services over the internet at a dramatically lower cost and with dynamic scalability. The cloud concept incorporates software as a service (SaaS) as well as other recent technology trends satisfying the computing needs of users via the internet. Examples include Salesforce.com and Google Apps which provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers.
- 10. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc. Transition Periods Mainframe Client Server Cloud ComputingTransition Transition Technology transitions occur all the time and are expected – During transitional periods end-users require the most help and rely on external expertise. Through transitional periods the most effective service companies do not take a position on which technology is best. Instead they take the best position for their customer and provide the most effective support to transition at the right time the right way. Opportunities for service providers are better after a transition then before as the marketplace Is less knowledgeable and new services are created. Service Providers who do not evolve through the transitional period are at risk.

Effective IT Transitions must have all 3 factors Business Drivers Social Acceptance Technology Enablers Effective Transition Cloud Computing has all 3 • Scalability to do more with less • Greater IT availability needs • A need for lower IT costs • Increased IT & data regulation • Access anywhere, anytime (downtime tolerance is decreasing) • Cloud application acceptance • Prolific use of mobile technology • Outsourcing and strategic partnerships • Dynamic upgrading of applications expected • Consumer demands driving business requirements • Server and desktop virtualization • Cheap and high quality bandwidth • Greater data security • Parallel processing • Storage capability up and cost down

- 18. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc. Community Cloud • Community cloud. The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise. Creating a cloud for one group (i.e. Google Gov cloud, educational institutions) Source: NIST.gov

The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load-balancing between clouds).

Editor's Notes
- #10: Farms of Servers; servers are added based on need; servers jobs are changed based on change in computing needs Cost is lower because a shared infrastructure is being used. Subscription to software and the infrastructure instead of purchasing it. Social acceptance is primary factor driving adoption
- #11: We are in a transition period; cloud computing is not a fad but technology change that is occuring. One factors I’ve heard that could slower the trend (or reverse it) is if internet providers begin charging different rates for different speeds.
- #13: Its been around for a while. Add MS Live 365 icon
- #15: in hardware virtualization, a hypervisor (a piece of software) imitates a computer hardware. This may be more than you want or need to know. But it is a buzz word that you should have some familiarity with.
- #16: This too is probably more than you want or need to know. IT is acronym crazy. Source: National Institute of Standards and Technology, http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/ Platform as a service — Cloud platform services, whereby the computing platform (operating system and associated services) is delivered as a service over the Internet by the provider. "Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)", delivers computer infrastructure - typically a platform virtualization environment - as a service. Rather than purchasing servers, software, data-center space or network equipment, clients instead buy those resources as a fully outsourced service. Suppliers typically bill such services on a utility computing basis and amount of resources consumed (and therefore the cost) will typically reflect the level of activity. IaaS evolved from virtual private server offerings A major difference between IaaS and PaaS is the amount of control over the system available to users of the services. IaaS provides total control, PaaS typically provides no control. This also means virtually zero administration costs for PaaS whereas IaaS has administration costs similar to a traditional computing infrastructure. There are a number of PaaS providers including Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure and Salesforce.com’s Force.com. IaaS is Amazon AWS, Rackspace Cloud Servers.

- #21: Will ultimately be this but mis-leading now. It is a virtualized environment. Pooling of resources – moving to a model of anytime, anywhere access to technology (i.e. your data, your applications, your email, etc.)

- #27: Number 1-3 are the same reasons you would outsource your IT to someone like CMIT Solutions. Great when you need a fraction of a server. Most minimal SM server is $5000 for hw-sw-setup labor. A SM server can be 10K even $15K depending on number of people and applications that are being run. Cost of maintaining and supporting it (whether its outsourced or not). How long is going last? How long will that piece of hardware meet your needs? Rate of new OS and application needs. Deleted from Melanies original slide Leverage wide range of devices. (desktops, laptops, tablets, pads, smart phones) Variety of options for any deployment scenario. Hosted Private Cloud, On Premise Private Cloud, Public Cloud
- #37: We are business minded
