Everyone is Talking About Clouds
Software as a Service
Platform as a Service Storage as a Service
Grid Computing
Database as a Service Virtualization
Utility Computing Application Hosting
Infrastructure as a Service

Cloud Computing Layers
Software as a Service
Applications offered on-demand over
the network (salesforce.com)
Faster time-to-market
Platform as a Service
Reduction of custom
software
Developer platform with built-in services
(Google App Engine)
Pay only for what you
Infrastructure as a Service
use
Basic storage and Grow infrastructure
compute capabilities offered
as a service (Amazon web services)
with business

Public vs. Private Clouds
Public Private Mixed
Pay as you go, Cloud computing Mixed usage of
multi-tenant model run within a public and private
applications and company's own clouds according

Sun Cloud Architecture
Compute Virtual Storage
Service DataCenter Service
Resources, People,
Graphical UI
Virtual Volumes
Machines Objects
Networking
Open API
Storage Protocols:
WebDAV

Sun Virtual Datacenter Model
Design application
from pre-built components using
drag-and-drop
Deploy to cloud
Monitor, manage and reconfigure
Compatibility with programmatic
APIs
Encapsulate system architecture
of an application
Ability to model, save and deploy
entire system
23

Sun Cloud RESTful API
Everything is a resource – http GET, POST, PUT...
Requires only a single starting point - other URIs are
discoverable
Easy to create, save, load, stop, start entire
applications
Released to the public under Creative Commons

What's next in
the cloud ?
What are the
challenges ? 27

Focus on security in the cloud
Well-defined Trust Boundaries
Secure by Default Configurations
Security Development Lifecycle
Default Deny / Least Privilege
Encrypted Storage and Transit
Secure, Scalable Management / Monitoring
Ongoing Provider Security Evaluation
28

Private clouds in the enterprise
Compliance (ITIL, Sarbanes
Oxley...)
Delegation to end-user
versus authorization
Cloud is all about freedom !
29

Hybrid clouds
Interconnect private &
public clouds
Challenges:
• Standards
• SLA's
• Security
• ...
30

VDI (virtual desktops in the cloud)
Offline desktop usage ?
Bandwidth issues
Is VDI still needed or is the
browser the new OS ?
31

Conclusion
Lots of work !
Let's get
started !
