9. Cloud Computing Defined
According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
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. This cloud model promotes
availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models,
and four deployment models.

10. Let’s Try Again…
Cloud Computing is…
• A new service model for creating and consuming stuff
in the digital age
• Clouds use the same old stuff we’ve always used
– It’s just faster, better and cheaper now
• Clouds are more flexible, adaptable and scalable
• Not sure if they’re really more economical
• But hype drives markets and markets create
opportunity

11. Cloud Computing in Simple Terms
Consolidate for economies of scale
Make it “elastic”
Make it globally available
Hide the complexity
Tailor the experience
Make it easily consumable

• Scientific and medical research
• Financial modeling There’s gold in them there hills…
• Weather forecasting
• Risk analysis & management
• Rogue trading
• Terrorist tracking
• Visual analytics
• Disease tracking
• Crop analysis
• Consumption patterns
• Sentiment analysis
• Personalization
• Targeted marketing

24. How is Big Data Different?
Traditional Data Big Data
•Large scale •Massive scale
•Highly centralized •Highly distributed
•Unstructured
•Structured – Emails
– Files – Audio/Video
– Records – Documents
– Databases – Spreadsheets
– Log files
•Sequential – Sensor data
•Indexed – Geo-spatial data
– Books
•Processing transactions – Journals
– Blogs
– Text messages
– Chat sessions
– Search data
•Random
•Looking for patterns and
relationships 24

25. Dealing with Structured Data
• Very large databases stored
in a central location – data
warehouse
• Attached to very large, very
powerful computers
• Accessed by structured
queries
• Continually updated
• Used for “real time”
transactional processing
• Reports created by a “batch”
process
25

26. Dealing with Big Data
• Unstructured data retrieved Unstructured
from variety of sources Data
• Data is Extracted, Translated Emails
and Loaded into Big Data Audio/Video
system Documents
Spreadsheets
• Small parts of data are
Log files
distributed by master nodes Sensor
to hundreds (thousands) of Geo-spatial ETL
small networked nodes Books
Journals
• Each node processes a part of Blogs
the data and returns an Text messages
answer Chat sessions
Search data
• MapReduce
• Process is repeated until all
data is analyzed
• Results are then used for
further analysis 26

27. The Future
Cloud Computing + Big Data
• Stream computing
• Dramatically improved
forecasting and predictive
analysis across all scientific
disciplines
• The rise of the Social Graph
– Battle lines are drawn
• Individually tailored and
personalized solutions, services and
experiences
– Medical diagnosis and treatment
– Lifestyle management Good afternoon, John Anderton…
– Targeted marketing and advertising

28. Glossary
• Cloud-bursting Acquiring additional cloud resources to handle unexpected or seasonal processing
demands.
• Cloud-washing Claiming that your business, product or service is “cloud computing” in order to generate
market hype
• Flash-crowd Unusually large number of users created by an unexpected event such as a global political
crisis or natural disaster.
• Hybrid Cloud A cloud ecosystem (infrastructure and services) that combines elements of public and
private clouds to provide compute, networking and storage services for a corporation or enterprise.
• IaaS “Infrastructure as a Service” – a cloud computing service that provides only computers, networking
and storage.
• MapReduce A framework for processing highly distributable problems across huge datasets using a large
number of computers (nodes), collectively referred to as a cluster (if all nodes use the same hardware) or a
grid (if the nodes use different hardware).
• PaaS “Platform as a Service” – a cloud computing service that provides additional software (middleware)
to enable business applications.
• Private Cloud A cloud ecosystem implemented by a corporation or enterprise solely for its own use.
• Public Cloud A cloud ecosystem that is provided by a service provider and is shared among many
customers.
• SaaS “Software as a Service” – a cloud computing service that enables users (companies) to access a
business application on a subscription basis.
• Social Graph A term coined by scientists working in the social areas of graph theory. It has been described
as "the global mapping of everybody and how they're related".
