defining the cloud by “the book”

cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than
a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are
provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity
grid) over a network (typically the internet)

                                                                    wikipedia


cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, 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
                                                                           NIST

defining the cloud, the “purist” way

 leverage, mashup parts of history, current definitions
       distributed computing
       single instance with replication
       uses systems management
       computing as a service
       separation into three layers
       open network
       connected and integrated
       measured by the usage, not by the user
       public, public, and public

                                                            Performance



   the entire concept of cloud computing was conceived for scalability sake

                 conomics
easiest part of the equation: someone else hosts hardware, software, maintenance
anyway to look at it, remote, distributed computing is cheaper
move from CAPEX to OPEX is very attractive to managing stakeholders
cloud ROI traditionally done by comparing IT budgets to cloud expenses #mmmkay
scalability, integration are cheaper and easier, security is still under (hot) debate




  Tweet: #SCON12
making the case for cloud computing E2




                 lasticity
inherent to cloud architectures
makes case for scalability, high-availability, failover planning
done wrong – remember the failure of amazon EC2 and the problems it caused
is a scale-out model in single-tenancy, multi-instance, that cannot be tested
requires systems management for proper instance maintenance




  Tweet: #SCON12
making the case for cloud computing E3




                 nterprise application stores
mobile, social, user empowerment – all changed the game
users aren’t putting up with big, complex applications – they want “apps” on iPad
best bet for support for all business is adoption of EAS, cloud is a must for that model
scalability, flexible interfaces, myriad device access via platform – all part of the cloud
two-to-three year trend, if you haven’t started – better get going




  Tweet: #SCON12
making the case for cloud computing E4




                 xpansion
plans for all business units in next few years include “cloud” and SaaS
plans for IT over next three-to-four years include cloud infrastructure
integration, plans from partners, providers, suppliers, associates include cloud in next
five years
expansion of any organization must include cloud going forward, no questions
if all other fails, cite the fact that competitors are expanding into cloud #Winning



  Tweet: #SCON12
making the case for cloud computing E5




                 volution
evolution of the world comes down to cloud, organizations have to adapt
vendors are evolving their products from hosted, on-demand to cloud
ventures with partners, other organizations will demand cloud; three-to-four years
customers are demanding cloud –stirred up by microsoft “to the cloud” TV ads
with differentiation of what is cloud and how to deploy in it, definitely a must-do




  Tweet: #SCON12
making the case for cloud computing E6




         infrastructur
reports say from 10% to 30% of IT budgets put on cloud infrastructure
reports highlight more money spent by BU than IT on SaaS applications; continuing
organizations cannot leverage the cloud as an external service only, must integrate
to make cloud work across organization, to retain security, to enhance integration – IT
         must be responsible for centralized cloud infrastructure; CEOs are seeing this




  Tweet: #SCON12
Issues: hosted != on-demand != cloud

 hosted: a vendor puts a web-interface to their apps
       MT (multitenancy) is a big deal here
       licensing is by the user, as usual
       reduced functionality or poor performance by comparison
 on-demand: vendors leverages SaaS,PaaS model
       web interface
       MT benefits vendor; not so much clients
       usually SaaS and PaaS “all in one” failing to leverage cloud
 cloud
       three layer model as described earlier
       MT, single-instance hard to scale; ST, multi-instance better
       licensing by usage, starting, is winner model for biz


Tweet: #SCON12
issues: private cloud

 short, simple, sweet

     any well done definition of the cloud specifically
     calls for open networks to support the cloud;
     private clouds violate core tenet of cloud

 today’s private cloud is used as a bridge between
  client-server, web-based, on-demand, and SaaS
  worlds to get to the real cloud infrastructure

 use if you must, you are better off planning around it


Tweet: #SCON12
your next steps

 define the cloud (for you)
 take charge of your existing “cloud” initiatives
       across stakeholders
       make case for central IT control
 setup 3-5 years strategy and investment
 get going, do your infrastructure while you leverage
  SaaS and on demand solutions
 learn, implement, learn, implement – you get the idea
