Generational Shift
Business
Economic
Technology
Centralized compute & storage, thin clients
High upfront costs for hardware and software
Optimized for efficiency due to high cost
Perpetual license for OS and application software
PCs and servers for distributed compute, storage, etc.
Optimized for agility due to low cost

Pay as you go, as you need,and only for what you use
Better efficiency and agility(in orders of magnitude)
Large DCs, commodity HW, scale-out, devices

Your business is a service.
What is a service?
Capacity on demand?

An approach to computing that’s about internet scale and connecting to a variety of devices and endpoints
Computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet/Intranet.
What is cloud computing?
… the applications delivered as services over Internet and the hardware and systems software in datacenters that provide those services.
Cloud Computing means using a remote data center to manage scalable, reliable, on-demand access to applications

Cloud Computing Characteristics

The story so far
The cloud..
Is a service-based approach
Has specific characteristics (On-demand, ubiquitous, elastic, location independent, measured)
Has various options for how it’s delivered (delivery methods) andhow responsibilities are separated (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)
Ultimately means IT transformation

“The bottom line: Early adopters are finding serious benefits, meaning that cloud computing is real and warrants your scrutiny as a new set of platforms for business applications.”
http://www.forrester.com/rb/Research/q%26a_by_2011%2C_cios_must_answer_question%2C/q/id/55193/t/2
“By 2012, 80% of Fortune 1000 enterprises will be using some cloud computing services, 20% of businesses will own no IT assets.”
