www.skeinc.com
8. What Makes it Appealing?
• Scalable – right-size resources based on demand
• Agile – deploy quickly
• Accessible – web based (any time, anywhere)
• Low Technical Risk - No installation required, no
servers, no specialized software, no additional staff,
automatic updates,...
– Technology someone else's responsibility/headache
– Ability to leverage proven solutions based on industry best
practices.
• Overhead – less: staff, computers, energy, space..
• Affordable – based on use / accounts.
– Economies of scale, because there are typically multiple
different clients on the same infrastructure.

10. Cloud Service Models
• Software as a Service (SaaS)
– End user app’s delivered as a service
– Examples:
• Google Apps,
• Social media,
• Virtual Desktops,
• Salesforce.com
10
www.skeinc.com
11. Cloud Service Models
• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
– Combination of SaaS and IaaS purposed
for development and deployment
– Examples: Development and Testing
Tools, Database Management Systems,
Directory Services.
11
www.skeinc.com
12. Cloud Service Models
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
– Computing resources: Virtual
Machines, VLAN’s, Virtual Storage,
etc.
– Examples: Virtualized Computers,
Storage Systems, Networking
12
www.skeinc.com
13. Cloud Deployment
• Private Clouds
– Specific to an organization (usually internally hosted)
• Public Clouds
– Available to anyone (Internet based)
• Community Clouds
– Shared resources for a community/industry
• Hybrid Clouds
– A mix of the above
13
www.skeinc.com
14. Cloud Issues
• Security
– Where is your data?, who can see it?
– How reliable/trustworthy is the provider?
– Where is the provider and what are their IT practices?
• Physical premises
• System security
• SW upgrades and patching
• SLA’s
• Responsibility
is shared...
14
www.skeinc.com
15. Cloud Issues
• Security controls by service type...
• Disaster recovery
• Absence of industry standards
• Integration with existing systems
• Dependant on Internet access speed and reliability.
• Often less functionality than desktop.
15

16. Amazon Outage
• Amazon cloud went down in April, 2011
– Many high profile sites went down: Foursquare,
Reddit, Quora, Hootsuite…
• Lessons Learned:
– Plan for failure
– Retain expertise to develop and implement Disaster
Recovery Plan
– Security and disaster recovery is a joint responsibility
– Create internal back-up options
• Can you get your data if your service provider goes down
– Distribute your risk across different sites/providers
– Know your service provider and what they will/will
not do
• SLA’s matter
16
www.skeinc.com
17. Go Daddy Outage
• Go Daddy web sites and DNS servers go down
went down in September 2012.
– A DNS (Domain Name Server)
is like a telephone exchange for
the Internet. Directs traffic to appropriate site.
– Thousands of sites affected.
• We host our own cloud service in a secure
facility, but we use the Go Daddy DNS.
• So, even though our services remained up
and running just fine, for several hours, no
one could “find” them.
• #$*@**@&^^@@!! 17
www.skeinc.com
18. Lessons Learned
• Clients demand more from
service providers.
• Even the best laid plans...
• OWASP (IT security standards),
isn’t necessarily the standard.
• Cloud is in constant change. OWASP Logo
(and, that doesn’t change.)
18

20. Cloud Adoption
• Public Sector: Slow, primarily because
of security concerns
– Non-sensitive data storage
– Public web sites
– Development and testing environments
– Data disaster recovery sites
– US Govt ahead of Canadian Govt
• Private Sector: High adoption rate
– Social media Sites: Facebook, Twitter, ...
– Google, MS, Amazon, SalesForce...

21. Municipal Cloud
• Rationalize IT infrastructure.
• More easily enable growth and change.
• Less dependency on internal expertise; e.g. security,
IT hardware, network administration.
• Increased options for remote access and the
portable office.
• Increase GIS deployment options.
21

23. Cloud GIS / Spatial Cloud
Computing (SC2)
• Software as a Service: Highly suitable for
basic to intermediate GIS functionality.
– E.g. www.giscloud.com
• Platform as a Service: Highly suitable for
basic to intermediate GIS functionality.
– E.g. Google Aps; ArcGIS Online
• Infrastructure as a Service: High
potential for replacing internal high-end
GIS infrastructure.
– E.g. Infrastructure Ontario.
23
www.skeinc.com
24. SC2 Introduces DaaS
• New key component of cloud computing.
• Spatial data essential to any GIS – and most
organizations don’t have it.
• Also, significant money saving potential:
– According to ESRI 2012 almost 90% of data used by
petroleum sector companies comes from external
source.
– Massive potential if data provided as a service rather
than handled locally.
– 100s of data sources
– Interoperability still an issue.

25. Compare Cloud GIS vs.
Traditional Enterprise GIS
• Functionality (specific vs. general)
• Infrastructure (lease vs. own)
• Time and ease
• Spatial content
• Security
• Business continuity
• Client support
• Cost
25

26. SKE’s SC2 - GeoPortal
• A hosted, cloud computing solution that uses
geography to integrate business information.
• A common geo-base for an organization’s
information and data with Google maps and
imagery.
– maps; tabular data; and, documents / unstructured
content

28. How We Handle Security
a. Distributed Model – your data stay behind your
firewall.
b. Data hosted in Toronto – which is important for
some Canadian clients.
c. Security Model
– Uses Windows Authentication
– TRA-tested to meet rigid standards
– Users only see the information to which they have been
granted access.
d. Multiple redundancy ensures your solution is
always available.

30. Important Considerations
• Cloud implementation is:
– optimal for collaboration
– optimal for GIS implementation (eliminates
complexity, cost, skill requirements).
• Build / design for leverage. One-off
projects are expensive; leveraged
technology is much cheaper and easier to
maintain.
• Geography brings new capacity for
information access, sharing, and
understanding.

Editor's Notes
You may have seen this before – it’s a Hubble Deep Space image. The perspective of this presentation is like the Hubble telescope peering into space. No matter where you look, there’s a lot, but it would be impossible to describe it all. So, this presentation is my perspective of cloud computing and GIS. A different presentation might look similar but have some very different ideas and thoughts.
What’s interesting about this, is that if you look carefully... (Georgia Bulldogs “constellation”)
Although clients care most about price, security, availability, and feature functionality, standards can also be important. For example, without cloud standards, clients can become “locked-in” to their service provider. Despite cloud computing’s relative immaturity, recognition of the importance of standards has resulted in an array of cloud computing standards setting activities and bodies as shown in this image.
