Questions/Discussion

The document discusses the economic benefits and evolution of cloud computing. It outlines the different cloud service delivery models including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The cloud provides an economic model for scaling repeatable workloads and optimizing costs. While public clouds offer advantages, hybrid models are emerging to address specialized needs through both public and private clouds. Adoption challenges include security, compliance, lock-in risks, and ensuring performance and availability across delivery models.

The Fall of Giants

CloudBees

The document discusses how industrialization led to electrification around 50 years ago, and how a similar shift is now happening in IT. Specifically, it argues that non-core IT tasks will be consumed as cloud services, allowing companies to focus on their core business. This shift will cause existing IT giants' power based on private data centers to decline, while new cloud computing giants like Amazon Web Services will emerge and grow rapidly. It also notes that both core and non-core IT tasks will continue to be important, and companies can extend their existing IT assets by leveraging public cloud services for faster innovation. The key message is that the industrialization of IT through cloud computing is inevitable and companies must have a plan to either ignore, embrace

More flexibility. More freedom in the cloud.

Bridging the Gap - The Value of Integrated Asset and Service Management

Jon Stevens-Hall

The document discusses the evolution of IT asset management from a finance focus to an integrated approach with IT service management. As technology has advanced, assets have become more diverse, including virtual machines, software as a service, mobile devices, and emerging internet of things technologies. This creates challenges in understanding costs, ownership, and how assets support services. The document argues that IT asset management must embed within IT service management frameworks in order to optimize usage, costs, and provide a complete view of IT services and the assets that enable them. With a coordinated approach, IT asset management can help CIOs make better decisions through connecting digital assets to business services.
