9. LIVE WITH YOUR APPS IN THE CLOUD

10. The cloud is a group of servers.
A user interacts with the cloud without worrying about how it is implemented.
The cloud company does all the magic-It's like a laundromat
Cost – only pay for what you use. No up front cost of buying servers.
Device – internet connection provides access to everything. No physical proximity is needed.
Multiple users- many people will be using the same cloud. Pooling demand will make it easy to cut
prices and maximize server efficiency.
Reliability – cheaper to create space for backing up data on the cloud. Data is on virtual servers.
Scalability- if your website suddenly gets a spike in visitors the cloud will allocate more space to
your website allowing it to grow or shrink to match demand and save money.
Security – potentially better security with quicker upgrades, patches, response by a whole company
setup to maintain the cloud and their reputation.
New Computers- The netbook, typically weighing less than 3 pounds with no cd drives. By
utilizing the cloud, netbooks need less hardware and are then able to cut their prices.

16. VIRTUALIZE YOUR BUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE

17. Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something,
such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources. There
are three areas of IT where virtualization is making head roads, network
virtualization, storage virtualization and
server virtualization.
Virtualization lets you run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine,
sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple environments.
Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was designed to run a single operating
system and a single application. This leaves most machines vastly underutilized.
Different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple
applications on the same physical computer.

18. •Cut capital and operating costs while increasing IT service delivery without being locked into
limited choices of operating systems, applications, and hardware.
•Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50% and energy costs by 80%, saving more
than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualized.
•Simplify backup and recovery of your data and systems by leveraging the benefits of a virtualized
datacenter.
•IT operations are more efficient and effective with virtualization.
•Stretch your IT budget by getting more out of your existing storage, network and computing
resources. Allocate assets when and where they're needed and quickly reallocate as business needs
change.
•Recover from disasters more rapidly.
•Improve desktop manageability and security: Deploy, manage and monitor
secure desktop environments that users can access locally or remotely, with or without a network
connection, on almost any standard desktop, laptop or tablet PC.

19. IMPLEMENT A DIGITAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

20. IMPLEMENT A DIGITAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Most transactions between business and consumers, business and business
and consumers and government will become self-service digital
transactions. Intermediaries will evolve to add value or perish.
Customer service will become the primary value-added function in every
business. Human involvement in service will shift from routine, low value
tasks to high value, personal consultancy on important issues-problems or
desires- for the customer.
Companies will use a digital nervous system to regularly transform their
internal processes to adapt to an environment that constantly changes
because of customer needs and competition.

21. IMPLEMENT A DIGITAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Digital Nervous System Seeks To Create Corporate Excellence Out Of
Individual Excellence On Behalf Of The Customer
To begin creating a digital nervous system, you should first develop an ideal
picture of the information you need to run your business and to understand your
markets and your competitors.
Develop a list of the questions to which the answers would change your actions.
Then demand that your information systems provide those answers.
When information flows as through your organization as quickly as human
thought. It’s Business At The Speed of Thought

22. INNOVATE THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
Differentiate Your Company In The Information Age
Enable Your Information to be put to work on behalf of your customers
Information Flow is the primary differentiator for business in the digital age.
Bringing together the right information with the right people will dramatically
improve a company’s ability to develop and act on strategic business
opportunities.
Change the company-customer dynamic
