What is Cloud Computing?
It is not a Technology Revolution but
rather a business and process
evolution.
It is about how we use technologies.

Revolution Evolution of Cloud Computing
Data processing and decisions kept to a select few
A long long time ago… (1970)
Raised-floor
Data Center
Dumb
Terminal
People accessed large
mainframe computers through
devices referred to
As dumb terminals. These
terminals were primarily
sources for data to be passed
to and from the mainframe
where the data was processed.

Revolution Evolution of Cloud Computing
Move data processing, decision making to the masses in a
controlled way
In the 1980s Client/Server Was Born
Client/Server
An architecture in which the user's PC (the
client) is the requesting machine and the
server is the supplying machine, both of
which are connected via a local area
network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).
Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s,
client/server was the hot buzzword as
applications were migrated from centralized
minicomputers and mainframes to networks
of desktop computers.

Revolution Evolution of Cloud Computing

What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is the delivery of
information technology services over the
internet at a dramatically lower cost and with
dynamic scalability. The cloud concept
incorporates software as a service (SaaS) as
well as other recent technology trends
satisfying the computing needs of users via
the internet. Examples include
Salesforce.com and Google Apps which
provide common business applications
online that are accessed from a web
browser, while the software and data are
stored on the servers.

Transition Periods
Mainframe Client
Server
Cloud ComputingTransition Transition
Technology transitions occur all the time and are expected – During transitional periods
end-users require the most help and rely on external expertise.
Through transitional periods the most effective service companies do not take a position
on which technology is best. Instead they take the best position for their customer and
provide the most effective support to transition at the right time the right way.
Opportunities for service providers are better after a transition then before as the marketplace
Is less knowledgeable and new services are created.
Service Providers who do not evolve through the transitional period are at risk.

What is Virtualization?
14. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.
Virtualization
“The creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version
of something, such as a hardware platform,
operating system, a storage device or network
resources… in hardware virtualization, a
hypervisor (a piece of software) imitates a
computer hardware.”

NIST Definition Encompasses:
• 3 Service Models:
– Software as a service (SaaS)
– Platform as a service
– Infrastructure as a service
• 4 Deployment Models:
– Public cloud
– Private cloud
– Community cloud
– Hybrid

Public Cloud
• Public cloud. The cloud infrastructure is
made available to the general public or a
large industry group and is owned by an
organization selling cloud services.
Shared platform, utility billing (i.e. Google Apps, Microsoft
BPOS, Rackspace Cloud Servers)

17. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.
Private Cloud
• Private cloud. The cloud infrastructure is
operated solely for an organization. It may
be managed by the organization or a third
party (hosted private cloud) and may exist
on premise or off premise.
Dedicated virtualized platform (i.e. Zenith Smart Style,
Rackspace Dedicated Cloud)

18. Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.Confidential – © CMIT Solutions, Inc.
Community Cloud
• Community cloud. The cloud infrastructure is
shared by several organizations and supports a
specific community that has shared concerns
(e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and
compliance considerations). It may be managed
by the organizations or a third party and may
exist on premise or off premise.

educational institutions)

Hybrid cloud
• Hybrid cloud. The cloud infrastructure is a
composition of two or more clouds (private,
community, or public) that remain unique entities
but are bound together by standardized or
proprietary technology that enables data and
application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for
load-balancing between clouds).
Joining clouds together for high traffic, load balancing, intense
processing (i.e. larger enterprise?)

Cloud Definition
"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.“ (NIST.gov)

Larry Ellison on Cloud Computing
“All the Cloud is, is computers in a network….Our industry is
so bizarre. I mean, they just change a term and they think
they’ve invented technology.”

Cloud Example
Cloud computing describes a
new supplement,
consumption, and delivery
model for IT services based
on Internet protocols, and it
typically involves provisioning
of dynamically scalable and
often virtualized resources.

Marc Benioff on Cloud Computing
"Our definition of cloud
computing is multi-
tenant, it's faster, half
the cost, pay as you go,
it grows as you grow or
shrinks as you shrink. It
is extremely efficient."

Editor's Notes Farms of Servers; servers are added based on need; servers jobs are changed based on change in computing needs
Cost is lower because a shared infrastructure is being used.
Subscription to software and the infrastructure instead of purchasing it.
Social acceptance is primary factor driving adoption We are in a transition period; cloud computing is not a fad but technology change that is occuring.
One factors I’ve heard that could slower the trend (or reverse it) is if internet providers begin charging different rates for different speeds.
Its been around for a while.
Add MS Live 365 icon in hardware virtualization, a hypervisor (a piece of software) imitates a computer hardware.
This may be more than you want or need to know. But it is a buzz word that you should have some familiarity with. This too is probably more than you want or need to know. IT is acronym crazy.

Platform as a service — Cloud platform services, whereby the computing platform (operating system and associated services) is delivered as a service over the Internet by the provider.
"Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)", delivers computer infrastructure - typically a platform virtualization environment - as a service. Rather than purchasing servers, software, data-center space or network equipment, clients instead buy those resources as a fully outsourced service. Suppliers typically bill such services on a utility computing basis and amount of resources consumed (and therefore the cost) will typically reflect the level of activity. IaaS evolved from virtual private server offerings
A major difference between IaaS and PaaS is the amount of control over the system available to users of the services. IaaS provides total control, PaaS typically provides no control. This also means virtually zero administration costs for PaaS whereas IaaS has administration costs similar to a traditional computing infrastructure.
There are a number of PaaS providers including Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure and Salesforce.com’s Force.com.
IaaS is Amazon AWS, Rackspace Cloud Servers.

Pronounced Marc Bennyoff
Number 1-3 are the same reasons you would outsource your IT to someone like CMIT Solutions.
Great when you need a fraction of a server. Most minimal SM server is $5000 for hw-sw-setup labor. A SM server can be 10K even $15K depending on number of people and applications that are being run.
Cost of maintaining and supporting it (whether its outsourced or not). How long is going last? How long will that piece of hardware meet your needs? Rate of new OS and application needs.
