- 2. Agenda Trends inStorage Market What is Cloud Computing Cloud Computing Characteristics Layers of Cloud Computing Predictions Case studies Relatedness to SAP
- 3. Trends in storagemarket There are a few prominent trends that are coming up today: Virtualization: Both server and desktop virtualization are very hot today. Data center consolidation: It is very cheap for enterprises to build data centers, especially small. However, the cost for transport of data between data centers is very high. So companies are looking for data center consolidation. Secure multi-tenancy in storage infrastructure: This is going to be the next big thing. Cloud provider will be able to put in 500 terabyte of storage and put many customers and those customers will be able to access only their floor with swipe cards. Heterogeneous virtualization of storage:. That is already a huge hit today Going forward customers will demand the usage of a particular infrastructure in data centers, unlike today.
- 4. What is CloudComputing “ Cloud Computing," to put it simply, means "Internet Computing." The Internet is commonly visualized as clouds; hence the term “cloud computing” for computation done through the Internet. With Cloud Computing users can access database resources via the Internet from anywhere, for as long as they need, without worrying about any maintenance or management of actual resources. Besides, databases in cloud are very dynamic and scalable Examples: Google Apps, Salesforce.com, Amazon

- 7. Layers of cloudcomputing The newest entrepreneurial excitement around the various layers of Cloud Computing. They include: Infrastructure as a Service, IaaS Platform as a Service, PaaS Software as a Service, SaaS
- 8. Contd… IaaS is called Utility Computing because the providers own and rent out billions of bytes of data storage over the Internet for paying subscribers to use, or massive computing power for paying subscribers to exploit with their own software. The simplest form of Cloud Computing, IaaS is computer hardware online. Renters of this service have to be very sophisticated.
- 9. Contd… PaaS is where a business combines the compute power and data storage with software development tools for programmers to use in building software as a service. The PaaS provider hosts this software shares the subscription revenue. The software can be anything – games, word processing and business tools are examples. PaaS involves multiple parties for deployment and use, and the required level of sophistication varies, as does the quality of the software.

- #6 source : Financial Express Google Apps., Salesforce.com, Zoho Office and various other online applications use cloud computing as Software-As-Service (SAAS) model. These applications are delivered through browser, and multiple customers can access it from various locations. This model has become the most common form of cloud computing because it is beneficial and practical for both the customers and the services providers. For customers, there is no upfront investment and they can Pay-As-They-Go and Pay-As-They-Grow. On the other hand, the service providers, can grow easily as their customer base grows. Aamzon.com, Sun and IBM offer on-demand storage and computing resources. Web service and APIs enable developers to use all the cloud from internet and allow them to create large-scale, full-featured application. Cloud is not simply limited to providing data storage or computing resources, it can also provide managed services or specific application services through web
- #7 source : Financial Express Cloud computing is cost-effective. Here, cost is greatly reduced as initial expense and recurring expenses are much lower than traditional computing. Maintenance cost is reduced as a third party maintains everything from running the cloud to storing data. Cloud is characterized by features such as platform, location and device independency, which make it easily adoptable for all sizes of businesses, in particular small and mid-sized. However, owing to redundancy of computer system networks and storage system cloud may not be reliable for data, but it scores well as far as security is concerned. In cloud computing, security is tremendously improved because of a superior technology security system, which is now easily available and affordable. Yet another important characteristic of cloud is scalability, which is achieved through server virtualization. In a nutshell, cloud computing means getting the best performing system with the best value for money.

- #12 source : Financial Express Clients would be able to access their applications and data from anywhere at any time. They could access the cloud computing system using any computer linked to the Internet . Data wouldn't be confined to a hard drive on one user's computer or even a corporation's internal network. It could bring hardware costs down. Cloud computing systems would reduce the need for advanced hardware on the client side. You wouldn't need to buy the fastest computer with the most memory , because the cloud system would take care of those needs for you. Instead, you could buy an inexpensive computer terminal. The terminal could include a monitor , input devices like a keyboard and mouse and just enough processing power to run the middleware necessary to connect to the cloud system. You wouldn't need a large hard drive because you'd store all your information on a remote computer. Corporations that rely on computers have to make sure they have the right software in place to achieve goals. Cloud computing systems give these organizations company-wide access to computer applications. The companies don't have to buy a set of software or software licenses for every employee. Instead, the company could pay a metered fee to a cloud computing company. Servers and digital storage devices take up space. Some companies rent physical space to store servers and databases because they don't have it available on site. Cloud computing gives these companies the option of storing data on someone else's hardware, removing the need for physical space on the front end. If the cloud computing system's back end is a grid computing system, then the client could take advantage of the entire network's processing power. Often, scientists and researchers work with calculations so complex that it would take years for individual computers to complete them. On a grid computing system, the client could send the calculation to the cloud for processing. The cloud system would tap into the processing power of all available computers on the back end, significantly speeding up the calculation

- #25 source : Financial Express Crossgate develops the SAP integrations, tests, and supports the production environments. During project planning, the Crossgate Support team works with the customer to collect the design materials required for development. This includes format descriptions for the ERP message layouts, guidelines for each trading partner, and sample test data and test scenarios for each back-end business process. The SAP user no longer needs to purchase and maintain third party EDI translators, mapping tools, point to point mappings, integration scripts, communication servers, EDI staff, EDI consultants, EDI helpdesks, etc. They can simply interface with the Crossgate EDI/B2B exchange and the EDI/B2B processes are then managed and supported at a considerable cost savings.
- #27 source : Financial Express There are 3 trends behind Cloud Computing Industrialization of IT: standardizing and automating manual processes in the IT Business Utility Computing: from inflexibile and long-term contracts to metering of resource usage and payment based on usage On Demand Fullfillment: from long running customer projects to immediate fulfillment of customer needs This results in value -It increases R&D Efficiency as Software & Hardware provisioning does not require planning any more. It increases agility of R&D -These new capabilities allow defining an entirely new consumption experience of SAP solutions -In addition the high degree of efficiency in the Cloud Computing principles result in massive cost reduction for SAP, customers and Partners
- #28 source : Financial Express The same cloud services which are enhanced it to be a Multi-Tenant application, build using SAP NetWeaver CE running in the Amazon Cloud We can leverage here in a Virtual Appliance: Developer Studio We can highlight another trend, called desktop application virtualization, which packages desktop applications and makes them redistributable. The difference to normal virtualization is that it does not contain the operating system, so we do not have to deal with the challenges of redistributing an OS: Unix, Linux, Windows and also not how to patch them.
