Some History
               • “Cloud” metaphor for the
                 Internet
               • Borrowed from the
                 Telephony industry
               • Represents
                  –   Application Service Providers
                  –   Internet Service Providers
                  –   Network
                  –   Infrastructure
The Story of IT
                  • Seen as a “Cost Center”
                  • Tons of resources spent on acquiring
                    hardware and provisioning machines
                  • Thousands of hours spent on maintenance
                    and upkeep
                  • Slow and not very responsive
                  • High cost for disaster recovery and
                    business continuity
                  • Various skillsets needed to perform day-
                    to-day operations
                  • Painful software and hardware upgrades
                  • Managing identity and providing access to
                    external users
And how about the Business
              • Seen as an operation of limitless
                requirements and needs
              • Responding to market conditions
                and global business opportunities
                gets tougher by the day
              • Always training on new software
                and applications
              • Hard to build custom solutions
                right the first time
              • Total reliance on IT
How can the Cloud help me?

Editor's Notes

  1. List few of the questions and concerns people are discussing these days in regards to cloud computing.So before we dive into what Cloud is and what it means for us, let’s talk about what people are asking today.
  2. Discuss where we’ve been, where we are today and where we’re going.BING Search “internet cloud”ASPs, ISPsConnectivity and BroadbandHardware and connectivity costshttp://johnnyharbieh.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/to-the-cloud-a-brief-look-at-cloud-related-matters/http://blogs.computerworld.com/16863/cloud_computing_by_the_numbers_what_do_all_the_statistics_meanSMB spending on cloud computing would reach $100B by 2014IDC estimates the market for public cloud products and services at $16B in 2010, growing to $56B by 2014. Gartner more optimistically estimates the cloud market at $150B by 2013 while Merrill Lynch estimates the market at $160B by 2011.

  4. What are some of the drivers for the cloud?Discuss the traditional Businessmodel and some of its pain points
  5. What is it and why are we talking Cloud Computing today?Discuss the benefits of moving to or adopting Cloud-based strategies. Explain why is the Cloud discussion so important today.Discuss IT and Business Benefits of adopting CloudThere is a lot of research, including that derived from the Microsoft spotlight on cost, that points to real opportunity to lower cost through datacenter automation. Key areas that came out of that survey was the need to deliver solutions around automation, optimization and simplification.Opalis directly supports this goal, with the ability to lower operational costs by automating and standardizing IT processes, Opalis also improves the reliability and availability of the IT services the business relies on, this is achieved by replacing manual and repetitive IT tasks with automated best practices.Other scenarios for using CloudWhat bottle necks do you have? What are some of the current limitations you have and where Cloud can help?Where would you use Azure, other cloud providers?Hosting VideosConverting Video files into useable formatsStorageVirtual Desktops
  6. What is the value proposition for Office 365 and describe some the key messaging around it. Office 365 is productivity delivered in the Cloud.Talk about the promises of Office 365 99.9% Financially backed SLAList some key numbers on Office 365 (50 K customers signed up when launched)It supports federation (Single Sign On)Directory Synchronization with on-premise
  7. SLIDE“Cloud on Your own Terms”“Service is not a noun, it is a verb, it is what we do”“If a feature is not yet secure or not yet tested against multi-tenancy, we don’t turn it on”“Develop through extensibility”“Identity and Authentication is a very important thing to keep track of”What can you do with SharePoint Online? Share!NOTESDevelop through extensibilityIt is about creativity and being creative in designing your cloud solutionsExtend using Visio, InfoPath, Excel and Access Services90% of issues in Excel Services are authentication related.With Denali coming up, no requirement to for delegation to backend SQL stores is needed. For a Web Access Services database to work properly, ensure that your Access objects used are Web-Ready (look for the globe)Enabling multi-tenancy and building cloud ready features and services
  8. Describe what is offered with Office 365 as far as key features and functionality
