Cloud Camp Sydney 2011 v2AU cloud providers vs the world!

What is a cloud? Defined by business benefits..  Pay per use = no upfront payment, pay for what you’ve actually used  Fast on-demand setup = Innovate faster, be more agile  Self service – Empower users, don’t wait for ‘support’  Scalability = Unlimited resources, unlocks new use cases Reduce Costs Innovate Faster Simplify IT

What types of clouds exist today?Software-as-a-Service Platform-as-a-Service Infrastructure-as-a- (SaaS) (PaaS) Service (IaaS)

Demand Drivers NewIT departments Concerns about procurement Private clouds SMEs, as well will shrink as information will be replaced provide as large users go security will with cloud security and Quality is the enterprises, directly to the reduce as CIOs solutions backup to Priority will be run on cloud for IT understand the ($100m pa in public cloud the cloud resources cloud Australia solutions alone)

Cloud Landscape – Webscale Cloud Webscale Clouds  International: AWS, Rackspace, Korea Telecom  AU: CloudCentral, Ninefold, OrionVM  Typically Xen based (lower cost)  Typically fast, automated provisioning  4-8x lower cost than ‘Enterprise Cloud’  Best suited to ‘web scale’ and ‘green field’ apps  Higher growth than Legacy / Enterprise Cloud  Typically, dynamic, ‘peaky’ usage profile

Cloud Landscape – Enterprise / Legacy Cloud Legacy / Enterprise Clouds  AU: Telstra, BrennanIT, Harbour, etc  Typically VCE based (higher cost)  Typically slower, non-automated provisioning  4-8x higher cost than ‘Webscale’ cloud  Best suited to legacy applications / highly specialized configurations  Lower growth than Webscale clouds  Typically steady-state usage profile

Key Considerations for Choosing a Cloud Provider Thought Innovation / Leadership Geographical Location Functionality Service / Support Community / Ecosystem Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS) Service Level Agreement (SLA) Specialization / Differentiation Cost / Value

Can Australian Cloud Providers Survive? Thought Innovation / Leadership – Yes, CloudCentral / OpenStack – OrionVM Storage performance, etc Geographical Location – Yes, local providers in various AU data centres Functionality – Yes, via CloudStack / OpenStack / Custom Platforms Service / Support – Yes, local support from people who speak “Australian” Community / Ecosystem – Yes, participation in local cloud events, integration into OpenStack ecosystem Specialization / Differentiation – Yes, local geo clouds, vertical clouds, etc Cost / Value – it is possible to compete on price, “enough” scale is not hard Patriotism – Australian business prefer to buy from other AU businesses

Cloud Central – Australian Cloud Innovators Committed to ensuring the success of our customers, we really do care Committed to open standards, member of OpenStack consortium Committed to innovation & continuous improvement First Australian ‘webscale’ cloud infrastructure service First Australian cloud with OpenStack support First Australian cloud with multiple ‘availability zones’ More firsts in the pipeline.. Now: Soon: Horizon: Cloud Servers Cloud Storage Hybrid Cloud
