3
 Before the Web
 If you wanted to sell things to the public, you needed a
storefront.
 Massive cost in real estate, fixtures, maintenance,
shrinkage.
 Prohibitive cost to entry.

4
 What if …
 You could have hundreds of millions of storefronts
worldwide?
• Without real estate
• Without fixtures
• Without maintenance
• Without shrinkage
• With [relatively] zero cost to entry
 The Web changed everything

5
 Before the cloud
 If you wanted to start an enterprise, you needed an IT
shop.
 Massive costs in hardware, software, power,
administrative staff.
 Prohibitive cost to entry.

6
 What if …
 You could have unlimited computing resources?
• All the processing power you want
• All the data storage you want
• Data mining whenever you want
 Cloud computing will be the biggest change to our industry
since the rise of the Internet

7
 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 metered service over a network
 Cloud computing provides computation, software, data
access, and storage resources without requiring cloud users to
know the location and other details of the computing
infrastructure.
 End users access cloud based applications through a web
browser or a light weight desktop or mobile app while the
business software and data are stored on servers at a remote
location.
 Cloud application providers strive to give the same or better
service and performance as if the software programs were
installed locally on end-user computers.

9
 Enables consumers to get computing
resources as and when required,
without any human intervention
 Facilitates consumer to leverage
“ready to use” services or, enables to
choose required services from the
service catalog
 Allows provisioning of resources using
self-service interface
 Self-service interface should be user-
friendly

10
 Cloud services are accessed via the
network, usually the internet, from a
broad range of client platforms such
as:
 Desktop computer
 Laptop
 Mobile phone
 Thin Client
 Eliminates the need for accessing a
particular client platform to access
the services
 Enables accessing the services from
anywhere across the globe

11
 IT resources (compute, storage,
network) are pooled to serve multiple
consumers
 Based on multi-tenant model
 Consumer has no knowledge about
the exact location of the resources
provided
 Resources are dynamically assigned
and reassigned based on the
consumer demand

12
 Ability to scale IT resources rapidly,
as required, to fulfill the changing
needs without interruption of service
 Resources can be both scaled up and
scaled down dynamically
 To the consumer, the Cloud appears
to be infinite
 Consumers can start with minimal
computing power and can expand
their environment to any size
 Consumer can go from 5 servers to 50
or from 50 servers to 5

13
 Consumers are billed based on the
metered usage of Cloud resources
 Cost incurred on a pay-per-use basis
 Pricing/billing model is tied up with
the required service levels
 Resource usage is monitored and
reported, which provides
transparency for chargeback to both
Cloud service provider and consumer
about the utilized service

14
 If you use Flickr or Facebook or LinkedIn or Twitter or
Backpack or [insert hundreds of other sites here], you’re
using the cloud
 Cloud is a metaphor for the internet

15
Pay-As-You-Go
I want secured
backup of my files, so
that I can retrieve
data from anywhere,
anytime
My organization needs to
grow, but cannot spend
much to buy new servers,
storage
My organization wants to test
a software in different
platform before investing on it
I need a word processing
application for a brief
period to prepare my
documents

EMC Mozy, Atmos,
Google App Engine,
Amazon EC2

consumption and space usage

17
 Cloud Service can be classified into three categories:
 Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
 Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
 Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

 Security and Regulation
 Consumers are indecisive to transfer
control of sensitive data
 Regulation may prevent
organizations to use Cloud services
 Network latency
 Real time applications may suffer
due to network latency and limited
bandwidth
 Supportability
 Legacy or Custom applications may
not be compatible with Cloud
platform
 Interoperability
 Lack of standardization across Cloud-
based platforms

32
 Service warranty and service cost
 Resources must be kept ready to meet unpredictable
demand
 Hefty penalty, if SLAs are not fulfilled
 Huge numbers of software to manage
 Huge number of applications and platform software to
purchase
 ROI (Return-on-Investment) is unpredictable
 No standard Cloud access interface
 Cloud customers want open APIs
 Need agreement among Cloud providers for
standardization

33
Technologies Description
Grid Computing
 Form of distributed computing which applies the
resources of numerous computers in a network to
work on a single complex task at the same time
Utility Computing
• Service provisioning model that offers computing
resources as a metered service
Virtualization
• Provides improved utilization of resources
• Enables optimization of resources by over
subscription
Service Oriented
Architecture
(SOA)
• An architectural approach in which applications
make use of services available in the network
• Each service provides a specific function, for
example, business function (Payroll Tax calculation)

35
 Data Centers are specialized environments that safeguard
your company's most valuable equipment and intellectual
property.
 Data Centers house the devices that do the following:
 Process your business transactions
 Host your website
 Process and store your intellectual property
 Maintain your financial records
 Route your e-mails
 Important Issues:

 VM technology allows multiple virtual machines to run
on a single physical machine

38
 Advantages of virtual machines:
 Run operating systems where the physical hardware is
unavailable;
 Easier to create new machines, backup machines, etc.;
 Software testing using “clean” installs of operating
systems and software;
 Emulate more machines than are physically available;
 Timeshare lightly loaded systems on one host,
 Debug problems (suspend and resume the problem
machine);
 Easy migration of virtual machines (shutdown needed or
not);
 Run legacy systems!
