One way or another, cloud computing seems determined to be on your radar. Whether it's your CXO, your customers or even your staff, someone is either going to be asking you about it, doing it, or trying to keep you from knowing they're doing it. You can't afford not to be prepared and understand not only the fundamentals and current definitions of cloud computing, but you also need to be able to get beyond the buzzwords, the hype and the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) presented everwhere from the Wall Street Journal to trade magazines to vendor brochures.
This session will provide a brief overview of the current cloud computing landscape, including:
* The different definitions and approaches
* The claimed business benefits and opportunities
* The most touted security issues and risks
Following this introduction, we will examine the potential business value, opportunities and risks in more detail to identify the ones that are likely to have a real impact on your organisation. After this session, you should be able to understand:
* The relationship between cloud computing, virtualisation, Software as a Service (SaaS), SOA and other types of outsourced services
* Whether cloud computing is a real option for your organisation
* The unique information assurance and security challenges posed by cloud computing

Web 2.0 and social networking are critically important to the current generation of students. Collaboration and social learning are key to delivering the 21 st century learning experience.
Schools, colleges and universities around the world are using video technologies as a fundamental agent in the process of education transformation. Video schools and universities to expand the reach of courses to remote learners, without compromising the quality of the educational experience.
Now, let’s take a look at the type of world in which these individuals live. The need to embark on a lifelong learning journey, with formal education at school and university as the foundation for regular return journeys into education throughout life. They want to take the social network in which they live into the classroom: to take the collaborative, co-creation culture developed online and transport this into their learning environment. 400 million people use Facebook today, and the fastest growing group is women over the age of 55. Students need to learn a new set of skills, those required to navigate a world of free, ubiquitous content, rather than remember a limited body of knowledge. From learning science, learning theory and neuroscience, our understanding of learning has changed. Collaborative: Learning is an active, social process Motivation: The Will is the Skill Authentic: Project-based, interdisciplinary learning Today's students (whatever their age) live in a world where technology is pervasive. Many college students do not even own a landline, and e-books, smartphones and other connected devices are becoming pervasive. Technology infuses our world, and learning needs to respond. We’re also better-understanding the importance of informal learning. The visits to museums, art galleries and other cultural institutions that inspire a love of learning. And the critical role that on-the-job training plays throughout life. Students spend only 14 percent of their time in formal learning – at school or university. In the workplace, it is estimated that 70 percent of what people know about their jobs, they learn informally from the people they work with, and that every hour of formal training is matched by four hours of informal learning. And, there’s a new world of research, with expanded research resources, and expanded access to information. Altogether, these trends and pressures create an entirely new world of learning.
Education leaders are confronted with significant pressures and challenges. Constrained IT budgets . Budget forecasts for the foreseeable future are grim. Saving money and resources is an important concern for most schools, colleges and universities which makes cloud computing an increasingly attractive option. An unsustainable IT model. Education institutions have long been in an IT support crisis. Simply put, schools, colleges and universities not able to keep up with the demands for new IT services with existing staff and budgets. As a result, education IT leaders are looking to the cloud to cost-effectively deliver new academic and administrative services. The proliferation of mobile devices. Mobile devices are an absolute necessity for the current generation of students. The 2011 Cisco Connected World Technology Report found that two-thirds of students (66%) cite a mobile device (laptop, smartphone, tablet) as “the most important technology in their lives.” Educators at schools, colleges and universities are also embracing mobile learning and “Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives. These trends have caused many education institutions look to consider cloud-based solutions to support anytime, anywhere access to digital content by mobile users. Educational focus on personalizing learning. Schools, colleges and universities are increasingly focused on personalize learning, based on student needs and learning styles. Cloud applications that offer rich, multimedia content, virtual learning, and collaboration are key enablers for these education transformation initiatives. Next generation collaboration. Collaboration is a fundamental component of a 21 st century education. Education IT leaders are increasingly challenged to provide new social platforms and are exploring opportunities to broker cloud services to enable these new education delivery models
Benefits of Cisco Cloud for Higher Education Accelerate delivery of differentiated services : Cisco CloudVerse enables institutions to quickly deploy applications that deliver coursework and lectures, help attract the best students and faculty, offer lifetime learning, reach new students beyond the campus, and increase safety and security. Increase agility: IT can automate management and provisioning of cloud-based services to simplify operations, save time, and help reduce costs. High scalability eliminates the time needed for purchasing and deploying additional infrastructure. Reduce costs: Virtualization and other features of Cisco Unified Data Center and Cisco Cloud Intelligent Network enable service delivery at a lower cost than traditional infrastructures, which allows colleges and universities to achieve the economies of scale and efficiency delivered by cloud computing. Reduce risk and enhance security: Cisco CloudVerse cloud security helps IT reduce risk through the Cisco SecureX Architecture, which enables consistent security policies and enforcement, up-to-date threat intelligence, greater scalability, and improved performance. Cisco cloud security helps remove cloud barriers so that higher education institutions can achieve the educational and business benefits of cloud computing. Reshape teaching and expand collaboration: Cisco offers a portfolio of cloud services, such as Cisco WebEx and Cisco TelePresence, that can expand the learning environment to anyone, anywhere, and provide faculty and students with a rich, interactive eLearning environment. These cloud services can also help institutions control IT costs, manage energy expenses, and reduce travel time and costs.
Cloud computing, with its economies of scale and pay-as-you-use-it pricing model, offers an alternative to spending up-front capital by reducing some of the implementation costs, while also shortening the project launch cycle. Cloud computing promises a fundamental change in the way in which IT services will be provided and charged for in the future. Cloud enables the delivery of IT as a service that is accessed only when needed, and for which payment will only be required if the service is actually used. Deployment of this innovative IT system does not involve any investment hurdles, nor is it necessary to operate one’s own infrastructure. The Cisco-based IT cloud being set up by Berlin’s University of Technology should directly benefit companies in the city. In the future, the UCS platform will also serve as the basis for providing the TU’s campus applications as a cost-effective cloud service.
Cisco sees cloud adoption as a journey
Schools, colleges and universities are looking for cloud solutions to solve some of their biggest business and technology challenges: reducing costs, creating new levels of efficiency, and facilitating innovative business models that drive revenue growth. Cisco believes that each customer and situation requires a different cloud solution: some private, some public, some consuming services, some communities integrating multiple clouds together. The challenge and opportunity of the world of many clouds is to bring together cloud computing, the network, and storage, spread across many clouds comprised of thousands upon thousands of content/data that must work together on-demand and securely. Cisco has the network platform that enables the cloud (within the cloud/DC, between clouds, and beyond to the customer) and compute DNA along with an ecosystem of partners to enable this world of many clouds working together. When implemented successfully, the cloud will allow cloud providers to tightly align technology to business priorities; service providers to deliver new services and content to their customers; governments and emerging countries to consolidate and advance technology faster; and consumers to instantly access new services. There is a huge opportunity here for service providers, so let’s talk about what we’re finding.

Cisco’s Enterprise Private Cloud portfolio is built on a modular architecture which allows customers to migrate to cloud models at a pace that fits their business needs. Integrated Computing Stacks: Vblock, FlexPod Business Application Solutions: Tier-1 Application, VDI, VXI Unified Data Center Networking: Unified Fabric, Unified Network Services, Unified Computing
Unified Data Center is a critical element of Cisco’s CloudVerse, bringing together the Data Center with Cisco’s Cloud Intelligent Network to deliver a great cloud experience for our customers that want to leverage a world of many clouds. Unified Data brings together Cisco Unified Fabric, Unified Computing and our new Unified Management to deliver the best platform for delivering IT as a Service. Unified Data Center delivers an architectural approach that helps customers move from legacy IT architecture and management to a new model that delivers business agility, financial efficiency and IT simplification. Unified Data Center extends our existing Data Center portfolio, which continues to gain market-share, and introduces the next stage in helping customers move from Physical to Virtual to Cloud based environments. Unified Data Center enables significantly better economics within the Data Center: - 30% lower costs - 90% faster deployment times - 30-40% faster application performance - 60% lower power/cooling
A single Unified Management solution is fully integrated and offers new ways to simplify cloud application delivery. Moreover, it works with legacy systems and easily integrates with existing OSS and BSS systems. Cisco’s solution is comprised of: Cisco Intelligent Automate for Cloud (CIAC): which offers on-demand provisioning combining a self-service portal and orchestration capabilities using an advanced service catalogue and new ways to integrate and automate functions across the cloud that simply set up and management of complex cloud applications. One of the major challenges of cloud provisioning is managing compute, storage and underlying network resources in a way that facilitates dynamic reallocation as the needs of individual applications scale up or down or are turned off or on. CIAC combines the power of the UCS Manager and the newly announced Cisco Network Services Manager to dynamically manage both physical and virtual resources for resource pooling and management while automating new capabilities using a model-based approach that replaces a script and template approach which is inherently less flexible and more static.
Introducing the Cisco Network Services Manager which automatically creates, deploys, assure, modifies or tears down network services such as firewall, WAAS, Load Balancer, Router or Switch capabilities aligned with a respective service or application on demand. The solution uses a model-based approach to undertake provisioning and management which is capable of combining hundreds of command lines into a handful of steps that formerly required significant manual provisioning and re-writing of scripts and templates. This brings entirely new levels of virtualization to the provisioning and management of cloud. The system works with both physical and virtual network elements combining a secure network container with network services and maintaining the relationship between virtual machines and storage as service elements are added or deleted from a profile. The result brings entirely new levels of fluidity and dynamics to the delivery of cloud-based service and applications simplifying the management of underlying infrastructure that must support them.
Cisco Education Cloud generates significant economic benefits for customer whether they are building private, public or hybrid clouds or consuming cloud applications and services. Let’s take Cisco’s own experience as a great example of the benefits cloud can bring to a business. When Cisco moved from a traditional DC to a virtualized data center it reduced our total cost of ownership (opex+capex) by 37%. With Cisco Unified Computing and the automation benefits of UCS manager cloud transforms how IT meets business needs, enabling IT as a service. Reducing average server TCO another 27%, and server provisioning time reduced from days/weeks to 15 minutes With the new capabilities announced in Cisco CloudVerse – CIAC, Cisco-NSM, NPS and others, we expect Cisco IT will have an additional 33% of TCO savings. These benefits apply to both private and public clouds build with CloudVerse. Overall CloudVerse bring an additional 50% of Tco benefit to a virtualized data center. This shows why Cloud is such a compelling economic benefit – and why customers are moving IT applications and services to the cloud. Background – Cisco Confidential: Cisco IT is building and deploying an internal private Enterprise IaaS cloud called CITEIS (Cisco IT Elastic Infrastructure Services). CITIES will provide end-to-end IaaS to all business entities in Cisco CITEIS is a service-oriented solution architecture, leveraging technologies from Cisco (UCS, nexus, network) and partners (VMWare, later also EMC, Netapp). CITEIS went into Production in Nov ’09. By end-of-FY12, it will support 80% of all x86 workload in Cisco. As business demand evolves and SP offerings mature, CITEIS will evolve to a virtual private cloud, transparently integrating market-based IaaS (from public clouds). CITEIS is also freeing up IT staff time to focus on innovation and new business from the 70% previously spent on maintenance. Evolution Story (A->B->C->D) Traditional platforms without virtualization have a quarterly unit TCO of >$3,500 / quarter. Real-world execution of virtualization without changing the hardware or the design leads to a 37% reduction in average unit TCO. The adoption of unified computing and automation leads to an additional 27% reduction in average unit TCO. This comes from a number of factors: (i) unified I/O leads to more efficient usage of the overall infrastructure hardware (network/SAN), (ii) automation significantly reduces implementation and operation cost, (iii) expanded memory and Nexus 1000v in the DMZ result in increased virtualization rate Adoption of Cloud to Cloud Connect and Unified Management including Automated network provisioning and sharing across multiple data centers. We believe that with the products being announced with CloudVerse, additional benefits will be realized by sharing resources across service and Data Centers. This will result in an up to 23% further reduction in TCO while improving the speed of Delivery for new and existing services Note that the virtualization rate does not stop at 59%. As technology keeps maturing and application vendors adjust their support agreements and license models, the trend will continue. Additional benefits: compute service provisioning agility. Moving to a self-service model substantially reduces the end-to-end delivery time. Cisco IT compute service consumers consider this to be a major benefit. Another benefit is the overall ‘quality’ of the configuration resulting from automation (reducing the number of incidents post configuration), and the resiliency for both planned and unplanned events enabled by virtualization. Longer-term cost benefits are expected from the reduction of high-end custom compute platforms (non-x86) onto x86. Details - internal use only: 3 scenarios: A on the left, B in the middle left, and C on the middle right, D on the complete right Configuration (actual): non-Cisco 3 rd party rack mount server, traditional Cat6k distribution & Cat4k Top-of-Rack access layer, no virtualization. Physical unit TCO is $3,579/quarter. Configuration (actual): non-Cisco 3 rd party rack mount server (as in A), traditional Cat6k distribution & Cat4k Top-of-Rack access layer (same as A), real-world virtualization adoption for a large enterprise (Cisco IT, RCDN9 facility, 54% of OS instances virtualized as of Dec 1 st , 2009). Average virtualization platform is around 2x4 Silver (2 cores, 4 GB memory, 50% resource reservation), at $1,025/quarter. Configuration (realistic target): Cisco unified computing system, Nexus 7000 network switches, Unified Fabric including Nexus 1000v in DMZ, server bay design (2x switch for 10x UCS chassis), Cisco IT Elastic Infrastructure Services (CITEIS) automation effort, 3-yr cost absorption plan for automation, automation enabled for virtual and bare-metal, virtualization increased to 59% based on (i) expanded memory footprint from UCS, (ii) adoption of virtualization enabled by Nexus1000v in DMZ. Unit costs drop to $2,592 and $742 for bare-metal and average virtual respectively. Cisco study based on a four campus private enterprise cloud (50%) applied to Cisco Internal IT Common assumptions : Identical discount rate for non-Cisco 3 rd party rack mount server and Cisco UCS.

ROI calculator tool will be available…. Who is this typically sold to? There are different buying centers, people that worry about voice/UC, and people that worry about network, then people that focus on DC, people that are focused on desktops…. Each customer is starting to wake up….most are moving this way….about 25% of customers will move 25-50% of their desktops in this direction! All orgs are restructuring their companies to deal with this new VXI approach….mandated by CIO to change….taking a look at technology, about the process and about the people. 80%+ of our customers….are looking at virtualization in this environment. Some key triggers: Windows 7 migration. Out-tasked workers (call centers) Greenfield opportunity for a server Where in DC upgrade cycle, partner with your DC colleagues VMworld---analyst take away was how surprised he was, how many customers were trying to bring UC and DV together. It goes together, the partnership with UC and DV and upgrade cycles. Cisco is perfectly positioned to do that. Screenpop to a desktop, technically not hugely different. Virtual machine in DC running as your PC. Same connections as the normal way. User sees on their monitor…ability to have UC applications virtualized in DC, but locally it works via CPI controlling that phone Microsoft---relationship---what does this mean for Cisco. (at the virtualization level) Setting aside the licensing…..partner, in UC, banging heads OCS….overlap in competing some spaces, and partner in others…what we are doing in the DC, is different from what we are doing at the end points….partnering and competing. Citrix and Vmware----are the big players in the hypervisor space. Pricing---will be competitive. Price the value in the “solution”. Range is $300-400/unit Bring your own…..workers bringing their own laptops. Don’t care what device, as long as you buy licensing, it will work. Wide variety, device agnostic, best in class.
