Cloud Computing market size has significant expectations of growth and revenue
By 2012, customer spending on IT cloud services will grow almost threefold, to $42 billion – IDC
Gartner says the size of the 2008 cloud computing market stood at $46 billion and will jump to $150 billion by 2013 (includes AdWords)
Cloud computing markets at $36 billion 2008 are expected to reach $160.2 billion by 2015 – Wintergreen Research

Why Cloud Computing

Working Definitions of Cloud Computing points to improved business agility benefits
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction
8

A style of computing in which massively scalable IT-enabled capabilities are delivered “as a service” to multiple customers using Internet technologies
A standardized IT capability (services, software, or infrastructure) delivered via Internet technologies in a pay-per-use, self-service way
This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models

Cloud solutions need to meet some key characteristics
On-demand self-service
Ubiquitous network access
Location independent resource pooling
Rapid elasticity
Measured service
9

Shared infrastructure
Advanced Virtualization
Multi-tenancy
Lower time to value

Inability to meet these characteristics will reduce the benefits harnessed from cloud computing

Cloud technology adoption can be categorized under three major delivery models
Business Process as a Service (BPaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Other Delivery Models
Database as a Service
Government as a Service
STorage as a Service
Information as a Service
Identity as a Service
E-mail as a Service
ERP as a Service
TAX as a Service
DEsktop as a Service

To be considered “cloud” they must be deployed on top of cloud infrastructure that has the key characteristics

Each delivery model has unique characteristics with leading providers

Cloud technology adoption falls under different deployment models
Private cloud
enterprise owned or leased
Community cloud
shared infrastructure for specific community
Public cloud
Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure
Hybrid cloud
composition of two or more clouds
12
10/28/2009
Two types: internal and external

Cloud computing implementation has some common characteristics

Massive scale
Virtualization
Free software
Autonomic computing
Homogeneity
Geographically distributed systems
Advanced security technologies
Service oriented software

13

Some of these characteristics will be limited when implementing private clouds

The taxonomy for cloud computing depicts how various components need to work together
14
10/28/2009

The relationships between standards and taxonomies can be used as a starting point to lay out a roadmap
15

Building a small, low-risk and limited term cloud implementation within an enterprise can provide the foundation to exploit additional benefits as cloud technology matures
