What is Cloud Computing?
It is an user experience and a business model
Cloud computing is an emerging style of IT delivery in which applications,
data, and IT resources are rapidly provisioned and provided as standardized
offerings to users over the web in a flexible pricing model.
It is an infrastructure management methodology
Cloud computing is a way of managing large numbers of highly virtualized resources
such that from a management perspective, they resemble a single large resource.
This can then be used to deliver services, with elastic scaling.

Enablement Challenges for SW Vendors
• Application Enablement
- Which multi-tenant architecture – virtualize, platform or full application?
- Execution & Data (isolation and sharing) Off-Premises
- Tenant-aware security, monitoring, reporting and management
- Customization and user personalization within a tenant
- Development (tools and metadata)
- Service automation … On- and off-boarding, .....
- Version control
• Cloud Integration & Enablement
- Fine-grained usage tracking, metrics and costing
- Advanced scalability, performance and availability
- Integration/composition with other public / private resources
- Which programming model!
Shift to pricing based on usage, workload, users,
transactions – package as a 'Supply Chain' of Services

In summary…
Cloud computing is a disruptive change to the way IT services are
delivered
Without a strategy, Cloud computing can be a threat
– IT services delivered over the Internet
– Perceived cost gap between a cloud service and traditional IT
With a strategy, Cloud computing is a huge opportunity
– Lower cost of delivery for some workloads
– More responsive IT
– Ability to optimize delivery to traditional, private cloud, public
cloud
– Greater visibility in billing / chargeback to LOBs
IBM can help!
