This document discusses cloud computing and its benefits and risks. It provides an overview of what cloud computing is, what is driving its adoption, and common service and deployment models. It also examines how cloud computing could impact enterprise systems like ERP, CRM, and SCM. While the cloud provides opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs, security and privacy risks must also be balanced.

Cloud Bursting 101: What to do When Cloud Computing Demand Exceeds CapacityAvere Systems
Slides from live webinar hosted on February 16, 2017.
Deploying applications locally and bursting them to the cloud for compute may seem difficult, especially when working with high-performance, critical information. However, using cloudbursts to offset peaks in demand can bring big benefits and kudos from organizational leaders always looking to do more with less.
After this short webinar, you’ll be ready to:
- Explain what cloud bursting is and what workloads it is best for
- Identify efficiencies in applying cloud bursting to high-performance applications
- Understand how cloud computing services access your data and consume it during burst cycles
- Share three real-world use cases of companies leveraging cloud bursting for measurable efficiencies
- Have seen a demonstration of how it works
Presenters will build an actionable framework in just thirty minutes and then take questions.
The Case for Application Driven Cloud ComputingAdam Davis
While Cloud Computing is getting an incredible amount of attention, the focus is heavily on IaaS and an infrastructure-up view of Cloud. Many of the so-called PaaS offerings that are being made available provide a significant benefit to the efficiency of the services that are provided to developers, but is it enough? What happens if we eliminate the "middle" of the cloud computing stack and host the applications as close to the bare metal as possible? This is the promise of the Application Driven Cloud.

With SaaS, the latest versions of the applications needed to run the business are made available to all customers as soon as they’re released. Immediate upgrades put new features and functionality into workers’ hands to make them more productive. What’s more, software enhancements are typically released quite frequently. This is in contrast to home grown or purchased software that might have major new releases only once a year or so and takes significant time to roll out.

Cloud Computing Realities - Getting past the hype and setting your cloud stra...Compuware APM
Companies are increasingly demanding that Web applications "move to the cloud" to reign in IT costs, reduce server sprawl and perhaps most importantly, help to ensure that your infrastructure is tuned to deliver an exceptional end-user experience for your customers. The challenge is to reap those benefits while ensuring top performance, keeping IT operations and development on the same page, and delivering enterprise level capabilities and scalability.
Join 3 cloud computing experts Forrester Principal Analyst, James Staten; Savvis’ Chief Technology Officer, Bryan Doerr; and Gomez’s Chief Technology Officer, Imad Mouline as they discuss the cloud landscape, application performance in the cloud and successful cloud adoption strategies.
What you will learn:
* How to determine which applications are best suited for cloud deployments
* A game plan for cloud adoption for the next 90 days and beyond
* How to use Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivery models to test more efficiently and better leverage internal computing resources
* Which techniques can improve your lifecycle management of cloud based applications
* Best practices to ensure optimum end-user performance of your cloud environment
Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services),
Cloud computing is the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources as a service over the internet (public cloud) or intranet (private cloud)

The Ultimate Guide to Cloud Migration - A Whitepaper by RapidValueRapidValue
Digital transformation based on cloud-first strategy is a marathon. Any transformation journey which is disruptive and requires changing the core foundation of the organization can be very challenging. It is bound to fail unless the journey is planned with specific goals in mind, right roles and resources allocated to it, ‘as-is’ to ‘to-be state’ is mapped and implementation engine is fine-tuned.
Based on the experience of implementing numerous transformation projects for our global clients, RapidValue has formulated a BRAVE framework for cloud-first digital transformation.

5. Cloud Computing Growth: An
Operational Model
ISP 1.0: Provided access to the
Internet (Dial-up, ISDN, T1)
ISP 2.0: Access to servers at the
Internet access point
Colo (ISP 3.0): Racks for your
equipment at the Internet access

6. Problems, Solutions & Providing
Opportunities
Problems Solutions
Packaged Software: Large
early investment before any
business benefit
Pay-as-you-go: Low initial
investment. Cash flows better
match total system cost.
Project Prioritization: IT focuses
on process rather than outcome.
IT departments are responsible for
non-critical applications.
Outsourcing: Outsource non-
critical applications and allow IT
to focus on critical applications
and outcomes.
7. How Cloud Computing Will Change
Enterprise Business Systems
•The creation of a new generation of ERP, CRM, and SCM
•A new lightweight form of real-time partnerships and outsourcing with Enterprise
Business Systems suppliers
•A new awareness and leverage of the greater Internet
•A reconciliation of traditional SOA with the cloud
•More tolerance for innovation and experimentation from businesses
•The slow-moving, dinosaur firms will have trouble keeping up more nimble adopters
and fast-followers
8. ERP in the Cloud?
Epicor True SOA™: Provides a configurable global
ERP platform, and far-reaching functionality, we are
redefining the enterprise application software
experience.
QAD On Demand: A Web-based, software as a
service (SaaS) solution that provides a flexible
deployment alternative for QAD Enterprise
Applications.
NetSuite: SuiteCloud is a comprehensive offering of

11. Cloud Computing: Balancing risks
and opportunities
“The promise of
cloud computing
is arguably
revolutionizing the
IT services world
by transforming
computing into an
ubiquitous utility.”
“…by outsourcing
portions of
information
management and
IT operations,
enterprise
workers will be
free to improve
processes, increase
productivity and
innovate…”
“In an environment
where privacy has
become paramount
to enterprise
customers,
unauthorized access
to information in the
cloud is a significant
concern.”
