Rode Cloud meme in 2008. Listen to our 2009 podcast. cloudofdata.com http://tr.im/dzxm

For elastic or periodic jobs. Less clear-cut for ‘normal’ load It’s Cheap cloudofdata.com www.ﬂickr.com/photos/esdrascalderan/357434020/

‘The Cloud’ lumps different concepts/capabilities together The Cloud Stack cloudofdata.com www.ﬂickr.com/photos/wonderlane/3089163372/

“convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of conﬁgurable computing resources...” cloudofdata.com csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/

Traditional 3 layer model - there are plenty of others! all ‘Cloud’… but DIFFERENT! Software/Application [as a Service] (SaaS) Platform [as a Service] (PaaS) Infrastructure [as a Service] (IaaS) cloudofdata.com

outsource raw infrastructure - avoid significant CapEx scale to meet demand - Eli Lilly, payroll SaaS - IBM Blue Cloud hybrid PaaS Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) computers (Amazon EC2, Rackspace, GoGrid...) storage (Amazon S3, MobileMe, Google Drive...) Elasticity (Rightscale…) Bandwidth (Limelight, Amazon CloudFront…) Electricity Cooling etc. cloudofdata.com

‘does heavy lifting’ concentrate on your app’s USP least developed but most potential? SaaS Platform as a Service (PaaS) Salesforce force.com Apprenda SaaSGrid Google App Engine Microsoft Azure Appistry Talis Platform IaaS cloudofdata.com

light weight applications, delivered over Web mostly low-end disruptors for now... Software as a Service (SaaS) Google Apps, Zoho Acrobat.com, iWork.com Kashﬂow, FreeAgent WordPress.com MobileMe Salesforce.com PaaS IaaS cloudofdata.com

data are at every level of the stack… becomes more important as the stack commoditises SaaS Data PaaS IaaS cloudofdata.com

The Cloud and HE cloudofdata.com www.ﬂickr.com/photos/xavierla/3838988544/

cloudofdata.com www.jisc.ac.uk/fundingopportunities.asp

Only UK award in latest round. KCL, Cambridge, Bristol previous recipients... cloudofdata.com aws.amazon.com/education/aws-in-education-research-grants/

Opportunities exist at each level of the stack But none are necessarily right for everyone. cloudofdata.com

virtualise existing on-campus servers JIT equipment for research groups, like Eli Lilly aggregate data centres locally, regionally, nationally ‘Cloudburst’ for exam results, clearing, registration… cloudofdata.com

build internal software on Platforms, instead of from the bottom up replace suitable desktop software with appropriate Cloud apps hand the pain of email and scheduling to YahoogleSoft, and go Web 2.0 for free cloudofdata.com

‘The Cloud’ is not the answer ‘The Cloud’ probably doesn’t exist! cloudofdata.com

Cloud solutions may well help ease your pain points… but only you know where those are for your institution cost? efﬁciency? scalability? green? self-service? cloudofdata.com

Start simple why not give that demanding research group some EC2 credit instead of another server... ...and Simone’s email address instead of yours! cloudofdata.com
