- 9. Cloud Computing -- SaaS SaaS -- Software as a Service • Examples -- Salesforce.com, LegalZoom, AM3 Technologies • SaaS provides a software package as a service over the internet and generally has a monthly or annual fee – Pay as You Go model • SaaS Benefits Reduce/eliminate Pay to Own/lease software Automatic upgrades, generally Reduce application management costs Rapid scalability AM3 Proprietary 9
- 10. Cloud Computing -- IaaS IaaS -- Infrastructure as a Service • Examples – AM3 Technologies Amazon Terremark • IaaS provides computer infrastructure, typically a virtualized computing platform delivered over the Internet/Intranet as a service • You no longer purchase servers, software, data center space or network equipment, but instead you buy/rent those resources as a fully outsourced service. • IaaS Benefits The service is typically billed on a utility computing basis Improve computer resource efficiency and pay for only what you need Automatic upgrades, generally Improve service provisioning and time-to-market AM3 Proprietary 10
- 11. Cloud Computing -- PaaS PaaS – Platform as a Service • Examples – VMware, EC2, Azure, Xen • PaaS provides a virtualized platform such as VMware to run servers, desktops and their associated applications and services. • The selection of a PaaS provider should be decided based on the overall needs of your environment (basically what applications and operating systems you want to run) and the extensibility of the platform itself. • PaaS Benefits Similar to IaaS and SaaS – Pay as you go A good PaaS provider allows for a large array of OSes and apps to be ran in the cloud AM3 Proprietary 11

- 21. Green I.T. 21 AM3 Proprietary
- 22. Green I.T. I.T. Energy Consumption •EPA Report 109-431 states that by 2011, the cost to power a server over its 3 year lifespan will be 3 times the cost of the server itself. • Cloud computing removes the server hardware from your physical environment and all associated energy and cooling costs. AM3 Proprietary 22
- 23. Green I.T. Utilization Rates • On average computers utilize only 10-15% of their computing resources. • Cloud computing utilizes ~65-85% of its resources, creating a more efficient environment. • This utilization rate allows a cloud computing environment to run the same services on less physical hardware, significantly reducing energy consumption. AM3 Proprietary 23
- 24. Green I.T. The End of the Desktop Computer • The average desktop computer consumes 85-100 watts of electricity and has a lifespan of 3-4 years. • A Thin Client with attached monitor only consumes 13.2 watts of electricity and has a lifespan of 6-7 years. • Cloud computing allows organizations to replace energy consuming desktops with Thin Client access points, reducing energy consumption by approximately 85%. •AM3 Technologies is the only San Diego cloud computing provider specializing and offering virtual desktop infrastructure 24 AM3 Proprietary
