This is Lenovo's presentation at FETC 2013. The mega-trends of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and the consumerization of IT go directly against the desire to limit security exposure and keep TCO low. In this session, Rich discusses approaches to meeting both needs plus drill down on how and where cloud computing can ultimately, resolve these seemingly mutually exclusive goals and streamline the enablement of BYOD. Presenter: Rich Cheston, Chief Technical Architect, Distinguished Engineer and Master Inventor, Lenovo www.lenovo.com/eduevents

2. The Road to The Cloud
Drivers
- Long PC Replacement Cycles The Cloud
- Upfront stipend
Hurdles
BYOPC - Over 70% Show no ROI
(Opex & Capex higher)
- Complex to support
- Users really want
“consumerization”
- Average user will have 3

- Users comfortable & productive
with smart devices

BYOD & - Purpose optimized devices
- Success with
(Tablet, Phones) work
Virtualization server consolidation Consumer- - Employee satisfaction
- Benefits and TCO of

3. The Traditional View of The Cloud - DataCenter Services
…provided as a service
 Underlying technologies and operations
abstracted from user
…resources…  Users typically billed or charged back on
simple pay-per-use basis
Three “as-a-service” models
 Iaas (infrastructure)
 Paas (platform)
 Saas (software)
Public (off-premise) or private
 Leverages distributed computing (on-premise or dedicated hosted)
technologies pioneered by consumer Web
firms and delivered by virtualized servers

4. Lenovo’s View of The Cloud — It’s More Than Just Content Services
Content Services
Private
Cloud The Cloud itself.
Public Hybrid Cloud Deliver “content” as a Service
Cloud Both public, private and hybrid cloud solutions
Cloud Enablement Layers
The DataCenter, Servers, storage, etc… between the middleware
Infrastructure and content services
Secure access to private, public and hybrid clouds, as well as
The Middleware monitoring the cloud performance
Cloud access devices, both normal PCs and network centric
The Access Device devices, that display and connect to the Cloud

5. At The Client, Today’s Approach To Cloud Is Unbalanced
Cloud
Content
Services
An Unbalanced Approach assumes a ―dumb-downed‖ client
Cloud Capabilities are delivered by the Data Center
to the “least common denominator” of Device

6. A Better Approach Moving Forward - Balanced
webNetwork
Cloud Ready Client
The Cloud via a Browser Based Cloud Using Clients that are aware of
Desktop Content
Cloud
Services
 Web based application delivery  A client whose attributes are discoverable &
 Delivers multiple application types and other consumable by the Cloud
datacenter resources − Graphics processing
− Web applications − Local Processor power
− Publish applications − Multi-factor authentication
(RDS, Citrix, etc.)
− Memory usage
− Virtualized applications
− Network bandwidth
− Local application
A balanced approach requires both the Client & the Cloud to be
“aware” of each other
