- 8. WHY CLOUD COMPUTING…. Focus on the forest…. Business is interested in processes and information • Not technology, applications or infrastructure IT is a means to an end, not an end in itself • The ‘service’ being consumed is ultimately all that matters • Everything else is simply part of the plumbing From a business standpoint, IT has no inherent value at all • All value lies in how effectively IT is applied to help meet business objectives ….not the trees!!! 8
- 9. …. WHY NOW??? Virtualization • Driving data centre improvements – lower costs, improved service • Focusing attention on ‘economies of scale’ – the value of shared resources Open Standards • Rich Internet Applications and Web 2.0 standards – enhanced usability • Improved interoperability and applications as a collection of ‘services’ Internet • Available, reliable, and affordable broadband 9
- 10. CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME Data Goverance Security • Integrity, Recovery, Privacy, • Regulatory compliance Segregation • Unauthorized access • Sovereignty Laws and Regulations Integration Management • Local/Remote Integration • Performance management and scenarios monitoring • Cloud to Cloud issues • Ensuring Service Level • Dynamic resources Agreements (SLAs)
- 11. In Summary…. In Summary…. Prepare for the Economic Recovery Now • If you don’t, your competitors will Turn Challenges into Opportunities • Resource constraints can drive better behaviour • Budget and staffing limitations will remain Ignore the Hype • There are STILL no silver bullets • Business priorities drive IT decisions Educate Yourselves • SaaS and Cloud Computing are not new • This is a good thing! 11

Editor's Notes
- #4 Supply and demand for an alternative to (or more likely an augmentation to) traditional on-premise have reached an inflection pointSaaS is in the ‘right place at the right time’Severe resource constraints are reality for almost all orgs but demand for process improvement, new business capabilities (app functionality) and information access remains as strong as ever
- #5 Fretting over the technical details of what is or isn’t cloud computing is anathema to the very concept itself. The whole point of cloud computing is to look past the actual technology (never more than a means to an end) to the actual services (which is what the cloud ‘consumer’ was seeking in the first place. PaaS – development and runtime platform (Force.com, Google App Engine) IaaS – storage, processing capacity, memory (Amazon EC2)
- #9 On-Demand approaches have evolved into a compelling business caseMulti-tenancy enables a leveraged approach and ensures that economies of scale are possibleVirtualization can even make single tenancy a potentially viable option (as long as the business mandates timely customer adoption of patches and software updates)ASPs and previous On-Demand approaches did not allow for economies of scale and therefore were not compelling from a business standpointIT infrastructure (software, hardware, networking) will continue to standardize and commoditize over timeInternal ‘ownership’ of this infrastructure is not a competitive imperative or even necessarily an advantage, certainly not for every scenarioThe more well-managed and efficient the infrastructure, the more invisible it should become to business ‘owners’ and users, who only notice the IT infrastructure when something goes wrongThis reality creates a ready market for ‘hosted infrastructure’ once performance and privacy concerns are overcomeCloud infrastructure with better managed and more predictable and more cost-effective SLA’s are a logical choice for SMBs but also for many large organizations, at least for a subset of their application needsGrowth will come at the expense of on-premise IT infrastructure
- #10 The approach has certainly been tried before – ASPs, On-Demand, even time-sharing and service bureaus
