Slide 8 of 26@Raastech Cloud Concepts: History of Virtualization ▪ Provisioning a single physical server took months ▪ Physical resources were often underutilized ▪ Virtualization helped: ▪ Reduce provisioning time ▪ Maximize physical resources ▪ Introduce concepts such as cloning and snapshots

- 10. © Raastech, Inc. 2017 | All rights reserved. Slide 10 of 26@Raastech Why Cloud is not Virtualization ▪ On demand resources ▪ Rapidly provisioned (i.e., self-service provisioning) ▪ Minimal management ▪ Elastic (i.e., workload management) ▪ Measured service (i.e., metering and chargeback)
