Cloud computing provides on-demand IT services on a scalable, elastic basis. Pete Eichorn discusses different cloud models including public, private, and hybrid clouds. The public cloud offers advantages like pay-as-you-go costs and instant scalability but has risks around data control and security. Private and hybrid clouds offer more control over infrastructure but require upfront investment costs. When considering the cloud, organizations should evaluate their needs, cloud options, and potential risks to determine the best approach.

- Cloud TechnologyWhat – is it?How – is it changing technology landscape, business and government?Where – is it occurring?Why – do we care?
- The definition of Cloud Computing: The set of disciplines, technologies, and business models used to render IT capabilities as an on-demand, scalable, elastic service. >Joe Martin, GartnerThere are definitions galore surrounding cloud computing, but you should be clear when we’re done.
- There is so much terminology in IT. But, what does it all really mean?What is Wi-fi? In 2000, The Wi-Fi Alliance had hired Interbrand to determine a name that was "a little catchier than 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence'". Per Wikipedia, they came up with “wi-fi”.Broadband – “Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access.” - Wikipedia
- The know-it-all character from Cheers, Cliff Clavin might give us a painfully detailed explanation of what the cloud is. But, at a basic level, why the name “cloud”? “Networking people” – shorthand for networks, by the way – would draw diagrams and insert a cloud image when referring to the internet storage piece. This concept caught on and people started using the term “cloud”.
- The Could is changing the technology landscape, in business and government. The journey starts here – with a few excursions – like a family trip in the car.
- We’ll start with consumer technology to highlight the state-of-the-art products and services utilizing the Cloud, and then we’ll move to business/government delivery and use of technology.Cloud technology allows these services to be free. They can scale and they are elastic. Note that all of these services/products were all created in last 10 years.
- Nothing against Facebook, but with over 1 Billion users, it’s useful to illustrate.We are the product – how amazing is that?
- Let’s talk about the apps on your smartphones. How have expectations changed?Most of us are okay with a $0.99 charge, but we feel bad for $5.99 app. How much have you paid for productivity software and games? I saw this week on Wired.com that people expect free – 90% of apps in Apple’s app store are free – up from 84% since 2010. There has been a huge change – we now have hundreds of thousands of apps available for our devices. Sounds like Star Trek kinda stuff!
- So, why do I care about the Cloud, and why should you? If affects all business people… and technologists, too. When delivering a new service, we all have different objectives and many ways to fulfill them. If they involve technology, everyone is involved, not just the techies.
- We’re going on another excursion on our journey – Greece.Compare this to a new service: the main objectives are known. But there are many ways to accomplish your objectives and there will be lots of choices by everyone involved along the journey.
- One way to experience Greece.
- Another way to experience Greece. What’sdifferent? What’s the same? Overall, collective experiences can be different – experiences, costs, and long-term implications. For example, what if I purchased the boat vs. rented it?These are the same implications from technology folks working to deliver your vision.
- These Cloud terms will help you understand the concepts I’ll be discussing in this presentation.
- There are 3 cloud computing types: Private, Public, and Hybrid.
- Are you familiar with this approach when tacking an IT project? We call this “traditional IT”. We still do lots of this today.
- This is what the Cloud looks like behind the scenes – shipping containers full of cloud technologies: servers, network, and power delivery. It’s all in a box.This visual shows the scale of a public cloud. This setup was state-of-the-art a few years ago, but technology is moving beyond this. today
- With the public cloud, the main difference is that your capital expenditure becomes an operating expense.
- In a private cloud, cloud computing technologies run behind a company’s firewall and managed by the IT department, a traditional outsourcing company, or most recently by a cloud company (Amazon and CIA). This approach may be slower, but it could be more secure and more customized for your business.
- Here’s an example of how Texas.gov utilizes a private cloud. This graphic demonstrates on of our services, The City of Houston Ticket Pay system.The Common Checkout Page enables partners to request payment from their customers without building, hosting, and maintaining a payment page within their environment. This service provides several advantages including ease of integration to applications, PCI compliance achievement, and a common look and feel for payment activities regardless of the application origin.For real-time scenarios, the partner’s application submits transactions to the Common Checkout Page which interacts with the Texas.gov payment engine. The payment engine passes the transaction to the credit card processor, and ultimately to the customer’s bank. The customer’s bank returns a response to the processor that is sent to the payment engine. The payment engien returns the transaction to the Common Checkout Page and finally to the application, thus providing a complete cycle and response (accept or decline) in real-time.
- As the name illustrates, a Hybrid cloud is a combination of traditional IT, public cloud, and private cloud.
- Here’s another Texas.gov example. We host an online commissary application for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. It utilizes a combination of our private cloud and a public cloud hosted by Microsoft. The Common Checkout Page I referenced earlier enables partners to request payment from their customers without building, hosting, and maintaining a payment page within their environment. This service provides several advantages including ease of integration to applications, PCI compliance achievement, and a common look and feel for payment activities regardless of the application origin.For real-time scenarios, the partner’s application submits transactions to the Common Checkout Page which interacts with the Texas.gov payment engine. The payment engine passes the transaction to the credit card processor, and ultimately to the customer’s bank. The customer’s bank returns a response to the processor that is sent to the payment engine. The payment engien returns the transaction to the Common Checkout Page and finally to the application, thus providing a complete cycle and response (accept or decline) in real-time.
- Here’s what a technical architect should consider in design. The terms IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS were created to simplify definitions of who does what.You care for business continuity, SLAs, business risk, and day-to-day operations. You can outsource the technology, but not the risk and responsibility.
- All of you have probably considered the above… “what happens if?”Cloud providers take different approaches, and some of this you don’t have direct control.
- Stay focused on your business outcomes and vision . Remember that technology can enable it. Understand your needs first, then solutions will come.
