Companies throw terms like public cloud, dedicated cloud and hybrid cloud environment around daily. Everyone’s abuzz about “the cloud” lately, but what does it all really mean? If you’re looking for clarity when it comes to the cloud platform options available to you, this PowerPoint is right up your alley.

4. • Overview of IaaS Space
• Private Clouds
• Public Clouds
• Hybrid Clouds
• Use Cases for Cloud Platforms
• Q&A
Agenda
5. Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”)
=
Provider Managed Server Virtualization
• Virtualization - You want to make the
best use of your infrastructure
investment
• IaaS - You don’t want to be in the
datacenter business

Differences in Public Clouds
Commodity Clouds
Pros
• Very fast storage at low cost
Cons
• If anything fails, your VM goes
offline until it can be manually
restored – often from backup tapes
• If you have a noisy neighbor,
you’re stuck with them
• You can only upgrade within the
confines of the unused space on
your local server
Enterprise Clouds
Pros
• Pick your storage performance
• Built in high availability – if
anything fails your workload will
automatically fail over to another
node
• Constant rebalancing of workload
– no noisy neighbors
• Nearly limitless resources available
Cons
• Slightly higher investment for
mission critical capabilities
15. Which one to use?
Public Cloud
Enterprise
• Massive and sudden
scalability
• Dynamic workloads with
widely scaling demand
• Need to move quickly on
changes
Commodity
• Test/dev
Private Cloud
• Complete control over how
resources are allocated
• Desire a predictable
monthly rate
• Require absolute isolation
of your data
Dedicated Server
• Extremely high compute or
I/O demand

The Power of Hybrid Cloud
Private Cloud Public Cloud Dedicated Server
• Continual
production
workload
• Burst capacity
• Transient workloads
(test/dev)
• High performance

One Support Team One Firewall Same Compliance
19. • What compute platforms (Public, Private,
Dedicated) do you provide?
• Is your Public Cloud enterprise class?
• I have different workloads suited for
different cloud platforms. Can I use some
or all of them simultaneously?
• Is your platform truly hybrid – one
firewall, one support team, all tiers
audited to the same level of compliance?
