Service level agreements are important to ensure adequate performance and protection of data.
The Adoption of Cloud Technology by Enterprises - A Whitepaper by RapidValue ...RapidValue
This whitepaper addresses the primary reasons for enterprises migrating to the cloud infrastructure, various types of cloud deployment (technology & services) models IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud, feature comparison of two popular cloud platforms – AWS and Microsoft Azure, and some examples of how enterprises and consumers are using the cloud technology.
The Adoption of Cloud Technology by Enterprises - A Whitepaper by RapidValueRapidValue
If we go back in time, people were dependent on the physical computer storage or servers in order to run their programs. Now, with the introduction of cloud computing, people, organizations and enterprises are able to access their programs through the Internet. Cloud computing is gaining prominence, rapidly, and the popularity is growing, each day. Cloud computing is big business, today.According to PC Magazine, it was, already, generating around $100 billion a year in 2012. It is forecasted to increase up to $270 billion by the year 2020.
Enterprises and organizations, these days, are relying heavily on the cloud services and cloud platforms to obtain resources on-demand and that too, in an automated manner.
Organizations can, now, only pay for the resources that they use. Enterprises, also,
relinquish unnecessary resources with the help of using a self-service portal. This serves as a big cost-effective solution, as you can eliminate the need for investing a huge sum of money as capital investment.

Cloud computing provides standardized IT capabilities that are always available and can automatically scale on demand. It offers two main types - public cloud computing which is available to the general public, and private cloud computing which is for exclusive use by a single organization. The key benefits are reduced costs through a pay-per-use model and efficient resource utilization, while the main drawbacks are concerns around security, reliability, and contractual obligations.
A comprehensive introduction to Cloud Computing. Learn what it is, how it works, where it might be applicable, and when to avoid it. Presented by C3 / Cloud Computing Concepts Managing Partner, Rick Mancinelli.
Cloud computing is a new model for IT that provides on-demand access to shared computing resources and data over the internet. It offers significant cost savings compared to traditional IT through reduced hardware/software costs, system administration savings, and more efficient usage. Cloud computing is being rapidly adopted, with over 90% of companies currently using or planning to use it. The main types of cloud services are SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS.

Cloud computing is a new model for IT that provides on-demand access to shared computing resources and data over the internet. It offers significant cost savings compared to traditional IT through reduced hardware/software costs, system administration savings, and more efficient usage. Cloud computing is being rapidly adopted, with over 90% of companies currently using or planning to use it. The main types of cloud services are SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS. Virtualization is a key technology that allows software and data to be independent of hardware and accessible from various devices.
Organizations need a plan for moving from their current state toward cloud models based on standardized and consolidated platforms, shared services, self-service and metered use. How can organizations get started on the evolution to cloud computing? This webcast explores how enterprises can create a roadmap to cloud computing, including developing the business case; financial models; governance considerations; security considerations; organizational, policy and process considerations; and technical architecture considerations.
Cloud migration involves moving data, applications, and workloads from on-premise infrastructure to cloud services delivered over the internet. There are three major cloud models - SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS - that each provide different levels of control and flexibility. Successful cloud migration requires identifying stakeholders, assessing costs and benefits, addressing legal and security risks, and choosing an appropriate migration approach like rehosting or replatforming applications. Careful planning is needed to ensure a smooth transition to the cloud.
The document discusses the shift in the IT industry towards cloud computing. It notes that cloud computing represents a new deployment option that offers flexible consumption of computing resources and storage on demand. While cloud computing promises potential cost savings and business agility, organizations need to carefully assess which workloads and applications are suitable for a cloud environment versus maintaining existing on-premises infrastructure. A hybrid approach that combines on-premises systems with cloud-based services may provide the optimal solution for most businesses.
Cloud architectures can be thought of in layers, with each layer providing services to the next. There are three main layers: virtualization of resources, services layer, and server management processes. Virtualization abstracts hardware and provides flexibility. The services layer provides OS and application services. Management processes support service delivery through image management, deployment, scheduling, reporting, etc. When providing compute and storage services, considerations include hardware selection, virtualization, failover/redundancy, and reporting. Network services require capacity planning, redundancy, and reporting.

This document discusses the promises and realities of cloud computing. It outlines some of the key promises of cloud computing such as cost savings, increased computing power and automation, and infrastructure simplification. However, it also notes that while technology continues to evolve, users' experiences with the cloud vary and some organizations still question if the cloud can deliver on its promises. The document explores both the positive drivers for cloud adoption as well as areas like data control, performance, and security that are still works in progress.
The document discusses the promises and realities of cloud computing. While the cloud promises cost savings, increased computing power, and automation, realities include security concerns, reliability issues, integration challenges, and costs for early adopters. As cloud technology evolves, both expectations and experiences of users are changing. The cloud remains a work in progress, with opportunities and risks that companies must navigate as adoption increases.
Despite years of industry advocacy, cloud adoption in larger firms remains slow. There are many logos for many vendors dotting the cloud technology landscape and many competing architectures. But there are also few standards that guarantee the interoperability of different approaches.
The latest buzz in enterprise cloud technology is around “hybrid cloud data centers” in which large enterprises “build their base” – that is, their core infrastructure, possibly as a “private cloud” – and “buy their burst” – that is, obtain additional public cloud- based resources and services to augment their on-premises capabilities during periods of peak workload handling, for application development, or for business continuity.
Ultimately, the adoption of cloud architecture will be gated by how successfully organizations are able to leverage emerging technologies in a secure and reliable manner and whether the resulting infrastructure actually delivers in the key areas of cost-containment, risk reduction and improved productivity.
Check out the Verizon and EMC European white paper on cloud:Philippe Boivineau
The document discusses considerations for European businesses adopting cloud computing. It highlights that while cloud adoption has been slower in Europe than other regions, momentum is building as 64% of EU businesses now use some form of cloud. Key drivers of cloud adoption are business agility through rapid scalability, cost management through optimized and visible consumption-based costs, and application portfolio optimization. Various industries like manufacturing, media/entertainment, retail, and healthcare are increasingly embracing cloud. The document outlines initial steps for cloud adoption like assessing application dependencies and adapting IT roles, and addresses security, risk, and control concerns. It stresses the importance of choosing a cloud provider that can ensure security, reliability, performance, and maintain an acceptable level of customer control.
Rio Info 2010 - Seminário de Tecnologia - Integracao de Servicos - Cesar Taur...Rio Info
Cezar Taurion discusses how cloud computing is transforming the IT industry. Cloud computing leverages virtualization, standardization, and automation to reduce costs while increasing capabilities. It allows resources to be provisioned in minutes and paid through metering/billing models. While infrastructure as a service is common, platforms and software as a service provide additional benefits. Both opportunities and challenges exist for companies and CIOs in adopting cloud computing strategies.
Business disadvantages using cloud computing exist. This report summary outlines the most important need to know disadvantages related to using cloud computing.
The document discusses the potential for OpenStack to be the future of cloud computing. It describes how OpenStack provides an operating system for hybrid clouds that can augment and replace proprietary infrastructure software. The timing is optimal for OpenStack to accelerate the shift to cloud computing as enterprises look to adopt cloud solutions and ensure new applications can access corporate data and systems. OpenStack is an open source project that could emerge as the standard approach and prevent vendor lock-in.
Cloud computing has been a buzzword in the IT industry for quite some time now. Though it has been around for quite a while, its popularity has increased manifold in the last few years. The reason for this is simple – the benefits of cloud computing are simply too hard to ignore.
In a nutshell, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.

The Cloud Computing model is replacing the traditional IT model for many organizations that have not been able to keep up with the tremendous rate at which technology is changing, the challenges of disparate IT systems inherited through acquisitions and mergers, and decreasing internal resources available for IT commitment.
Cloud Computing models range from public cloud services that bill companies for access to IT infrastructure; the private cloud provider that hosts resources for the sole use of its own organization; dedicated external hosting to non-shared resources; and hybrid hosting, a mixed solution of cloud computing and dedicated hosting.
Schneider Electric consulting experts use their Cloud Assessment Checklist to help potential clients identify the computer services needs that best meet their IT challenges. It is not uncommon to find that an organization would optimize operation with a hybrid hosting solution in which a secure, single-tenant database would be stored with a dedicated host and the front-end would be hosted in the public cloud. Similarly, cloud bursting functionality enables the organization to automatically deploy new applications within the public cloud as needed. Such hybrid hosting models allow scaling capability to accommodate an increase in the number of users in the organization and meet peak traffic demand.
Careful examination of business and security characteristics can determine the proper cloud and hosting model that meets the needs of any particular enterprise and, as a result, help increase the organization’s IT capabilities and productivity while adding value to the business.

5. Cloud: typology
Infrastructure as a service (IAAS) Platform as a service (PAAS) Software as a service (SAAS)
Definition
Providing basic server, processing or
network services.
The customer control the operating
system and applications on this
infrastructure
Platform provided to develop and
deploy applications.
The customer control the application
but not the hardware and the
operating system.
Utilisation of end-user application run
on the cloud.
The customer manage only limited
configuration settings and interface
with other applications.
Use Case
Storage
Back-up and recovery plan
Web-hosting
Big data projects requiring large
capacity to store and compute
Short-term peak workload: tests,
project resources,…
Development and run of end user
application both stand-alone or
applications that enhance an existing
SAAS offering
Utilisation of turn-key solutions
reducing drastically the time to
implement and the operation and
maintenance work.
Providers
Amazon, Rackspace, Dell, IBM,…
Telco providers,…
Microsoft Azure, Google Apps
platform, Amazon,…
Salesforces.com, Google Apps,
Office365.
SAAS version of Oracle or SAP
software
In addition, a new category of services appears: BPAAS: Business Process As A Services: this cover the provision of BPO services
(payroll, suppliers invoices, payment,…) based on a cloud technology.
6. Key advantages of cloud technologies
Drastically reduce
implementation
time
Cloud can significantly reduce the implementation time for large ERP, CRM or Big Data Projects.
These projects can be focused on key business issues and can be freed from most technical IT
issues. Large roll-out time can be measured in weeks instead of months.
Simplify
Scalability and
Reliability
Respond immediately to a significant increase in the work load: website experiencing a
significant increase in traffic, IT projects requiring large temporary server need, ..
Embedded back-up and disaster recovery process.
By relying on cloud, CEO can significantly simplify their organisation and their projects: simplified
IT architecture, reduced infrastructure and maintenance tasks, small project team can conduct
large global projects.
Cloud services enable access wherever you are on a 24 hours a day basis, 365 days per year
while reducing the need for large operation team. This will facilitate standardisation of process,
economies of scale and collaboration on a global basis.
Cloud SAAS offer a permanent seamless migration to the latest available version. This will reduce
the burden on IT teams to constantly run large migration projects. This will also have a positive
impact on staff motivation and retention.
Accessibility across
the globe and on
multi-device
Provide staff with
the most up to
date IT tools

8. How the cloud should help CEO transform their business ?
« The widespread introduction on Mclean’s new system (the freight container) saw port costs plummet over
the next few decades.
If freight had been cheap before 1960, afterwards it became practically free – in the unlovely jargon of
economic “frictionless”. Freed of burdensome tariffs and shipping costs, good began circulating more freely
around the globe”. (2)

(2) Source: (1) and William Bernstein, In a splendid exhange; how trade changed the world (Grove/Atlantic 2008)
The impact of Cloud on IT services and business strategy will be similar to the
impact that containers had on freight and international trade. (1)
9. How the cloud should help CEO transform their business ?
A new
entrepreneurial
spirit
Increase speed and
agility
Time to implement IT projects is
significantly reduced
Simplify
Organisation and back-office can be
significantly simplified and will
focus more on application and
business related projects vs.
infrastructure and maintenance
Enhance
collaboration
among staff using the latest tools
available
Increase innovation
Cloud reduce the need for large
upfront investment and therefore
facilitate the launch of small
innovative projects
Deliver globally
Cloud services are available globally
and will reduce the need for large
roll-out projects
Reduce costs
Capex and Fixed costs are
significantly reduced
Total costs are reduced with a high
variable portion

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 … Year 5 to 8
Cloud based SAAS pricing
IT providers offer generous discount on list
price on hardware or licences. But:
- Project costs to implement are high,
- Maintenance costs (5 to 15% of list
price per year) are expensive.
- After a 4 to 8 year period IT providers
discontinue their maintenance and
support on their hardware or software
putting customers under strong
pressure to upgrade to new version.

Traditional IT pricing model (hardware or software)
Discounted price List price
Cloud based SAAS price will vary
depending on usage with no up-front
purchase price and no upgrade price.
Implementation costs will be significantly
lower.
Upgrades to new versions are provided as
part of the SAAS cost.
13. What will be the other benefits for the IT function?
Disaster Recovery / Back Up
/ Compliance
Mid-size companies often have poor
disaster recovery process. These require
significant CAPEX. Cloud can simplify these
tasks, reduce drastically their costs and
increase the efficiency of these plans.
Reduce the risk of the use of
non-authorised cloud
solutions
When no group wide cloud solutions are
provided, staff use they own private
solutions (Dropbox, Skype,…). This creates
a high risk of a security breach.
Drastically reduce
implementation time of new
projects
Some tasks such as the provisioning of a
new server are reduced from days to
minutes. The overall workload of new
project is reduced and the maintenance
work is drastically reduced
Migration work
The workload of migrating hardware or
software on a regular basis to newer
versions is drastically reduced.
Skills
Enable the IT team to focus on core
business related skills. Cloud reduce the
need for specialist infrastructure or
maintenance skills
15. Prerequisite for a successful cloud project
Assessment of the
provider
- A financial and technical assessment of the provider must be made
- What is the pricing strategy of the provider: do you have some assurance on how current pricing will evolve
over the next few years?
Confidentiality,
Legal and Security
issues
Interoperability
- Using the cloud should not result in creating new IT silos: the interoperability of the cloud offer is critical as
the Cloud will not be suitable for all systems (old legacy system)
- The long term product strategy and the depth of the offer of the provider should be assessed: is your
provider using open standard ? Does it support the full spectrum of cloud offers (IAAS, PAAS, SAAS)?...
- Compliance to laws on private or sensitive data have to be assessed.
- Legal and Security issues have to be assessed bearing in mind that they also exits with internal IT structure and
that Cloud providers might be better equipped to mitigate these risks.
- The capacity to change from one cloud provider to another should be assessed and tested.
- Vendors lock-in must be avoided.
- Managing a cloud environment requires specific skills that your company might not currently have.
- IT teams are often reluctant to embrace cloud technologies. They often see this has a threat to their power,
jobs and budget: CEO and CFO should therefore be involved in supporting a cloud strategy
