  3. Everyone, and every company has a different idea of what cloud computing is. No real standards. Defining cloud for the purposes of this prsentation
  4. Spending trends show a shift toward cloud and hosted services. Cloud adoption is growing at 5x the rate of traditional IT services.Potentially 50 million in cloud spend by 2016
  5. IT people are expensive. More cost effective to offload many support and management functions to cloud providers.
  6. Marketers have done a good job selling to the industry that it doesn’t matter where the data is located. Its in the “cloud”Alaska is a land locked island. For Alaskan businesses, it does matter. Alaska has specific challenges L48 companies don’t. Connectivity Multiple hops to the L48. increased latency. Latency sensitive applications. Limited bandwidth, unable to get fiber to the home like in the L48. 100Mbs circuits arent available everywhere and not cheap.
  7. Migration of large amounts of data takes time. Eats up internet connectivity for daysShipping of physical media is often faster
