4. Agenda
• Define Cloud vs. On-premise
• When is Cloud Adoption Right?
• What is a Hybrid Cloud Environment?
• Introduction to Intel’s program
• Benefits of Using a Cloud Integrator
6. Classic Infrastructure
On-Premise – The “Old” Way
• Physical server (Hardware): Raw compute resources
requires CapEx for servers, routers, switches, firewalls,
storage devices, etc.
• Operating systems (Software ): Software licenses
requires more CapEx for Windows, Linux, or Unix, etc.
• End-user applications (Programs): Software licenses
requires more CapEx for Act, Office 2010, Exchange,
Quickbooks, Acrobat, backup software, etc.
7. Cloud Variations
The “New” Way
• Public Cloud: Access to a Software application as a
Service: e.g. Salesforce.com, MSFT Office
365, Gmail/Google Docs
• Private Cloud: Applications accessed in the same
manner as the public cloud, but in a private location
owned/controlled by the business
• Hybrid Cloud: A mixture of on-premise and cloud
solutions; the best of both worlds

Editor's Notes
“So, for those of you who use any of the products listed in our poll, you are already using the cloud. Think about it…when you use gmail, neither gmail itself, or your emails are stored on your computer – they are stored , you guessed it, in the cloud.”
