Editor's Notes
- Good evening or good afternoon depending on your location in the world. This is something that we take for granted that we can have a webinar where people from all over the world can listen in to. We're broadcasting this from two places I, Rob and based in the Netherlands is on is based in Sri Lanka and together will do this presentation with the title ESB meets IoT, a primer on the enterprise service bus.

- Okay well it's time to get started then. About 1 min
- Okay a little bit about Yenlo. Company was founded in 2007 and focus is really on application integration and enterprise middleware. We are very proud to be the number one global strategic Alliance partner for WSO2. As a partner we offer a whole range of WSO2 services like product support, QuickStart, training and certifications and so on. We are a rapidly growing with our headquarters in the Netherlands and officers in the UK Germany United States already and plans to expand the number of countries where we operate.
- This is a more graphical overview of what we deliver in everything we do is focused on integration and of course the open source WSO2 platform. You can take a look at our website YENLO.com will find more information, among others blogs about WSO2 and its products. I think that's enough said about Yenlo. Let's start talking about the API manager at one of the components that we see a lot with our clients, from the small ones to the really big fortune 500 organisations. That goes to show that integration is not only an issue
- Let's look at the topics of this webinar. For the next 50 minutes this is what we're going to talk about. This webinar is aimed at people who want to know more about cloud, WSO2 and the combination of the two which we believe is a match made in heaven.
- It was Nicolas Carr who wrote the famous HBR article IT Doesn’t Matter In this article, published in the May 2003 edition of the Harvard Business Review, he examined the evolution of information technology in business and show that it follows a pattern strikingly similar to that of earlier technologies like railroads and electric power. For a brief period, as they are being built into the infrastructure of commerce, these “infrastructural technologies,” as I call them, open opportunities for forward-looking companies to gain strong competitive advantages. But as their availability increases and their cost decreases – as they become ubiquitous – they become commodity inputs. From a strategic standpoint, they become invisible; they no longer matter. The staff of HBR voted “IT Doesn’t Matter” the best article to appear in the magazine during 2003. As he makes clear in the piece, the IT infrastructure is indeed essential to competitiveness, particularly at the regional and industry level. My point, however, is that it is no longer a source of advantage at the firm level – it doesn’t enable individual companies to distinguish themselves in a meaningful way from their competitors. Essential to competitiveness but inconsequential to strategic advantage: that’s why IT is best viewed (and managed) as a commodity.
- But what is cloud computing exactly and what are its benefits? In this article we will look into cloud computing and the WSO2 products that help you make or deploy your own cloud. Cloud computing Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm that originated around 2006 when online retailer Amazon introduced Amazon web service (AWS). Amazon successfully operates the largest online retail environment in the US and the experience of managing that infrastructure has enabled them to branch out in to first hosting other stores and later on their own cloud computing environment for customers (as well as online storage (EC2). Who offers Cloud services? Amazon is the market leader as far as public cloud services go. Microsoft and Google also offer cloud services as well as several other vendors, big and small. Yenlo offers private cloud hosting services in our data centers. Choosing a cloud vendor is something that needs to be done with care, answering questions like where should the datacenter be located? What is your goal? Do you want IaaS or PaaS? If you need help in deciding the right cloud strategy, please contact us.
- There are a number of things that make cloud different from other offerings like hosting. Let’s first look at this definition by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that defines Cloud computing as follows: “Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction”. This definition also describes the five essential characteristics of cloud that identify this new computing paradigm: On demand self-service: users can provision new computing capacity themselves; Broad network access: possibility to access from a plethora of devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet and PCs); Resource pooling: multi-tenant pooled resources, in the public cloud often without knowing exactly where these resources are located Rapid elasticity: the possibility to quickly scale up or down resources when needed or desired; Measured service: a pay per use model where for instance the price of a given services is multiplied by the number of hours the resource was used. To translate this definition into more understandable terms: Cloud computing is a computing resource that you can use without owning it. You pay for what you use and it offers flexibility as far as adding resources or shutting resources down. There is no need to buy computers and manage them, the Cloud Computing vendor offers them as a service to you.
- Misused by marketers Cloud was a hype a couple of years ago leading to marketers (we will not mention names) just rebranded their online storage products as cloud storage products without changing their product or their business model. Although this might fit with some elements of the definition above, cloud storage is not cloud computing (it is a component of it).
- Research firm Gartner publishes the Gartner Hype Cycle of emerging technologies every year and Cloud Computing is almost at the lowest point in the through of Disillusionment. The concept behind this graph is that a technology will be so hyped that expectations of the technology will be unattainable (it will solve all problems of all companies). When it turns out not to be true the technology moves into the trough and in many cases interest declines. When the remaining or existing vendors continue to improve their products technology becomes interesting and can move into the next step: the slope of enlightenment. The market for public Cloud Computing is already substantial and estimated to grow to a staggering $191 billion worldwide in 2020. Cloud Computing is not for big corporations only, also smaller companies can enjoy the benefits. These benefits are not only technical but also financial. Cloud Computing makes usage of computing and cost more aligned without investment.
- In discussions you can hear people talk about public, private and hybrid cloud. In fact, in the hypecycle above you will see Hybrid Cloud Computing on the middle of the decline to the through. What do these terms mean? It has to do with the extent to which resources are shared. Public cloud: common environment where compartmented resources are shared with other users Private cloud- private environment where compartmented resources are offered to company users without any external parties using them. The private infrastructure can be hosted by a third party Hybrid Cloud a combination of private and public where the organization hosts the cloud but offers other parties access Figure 3 Overview of types of cloud Community cloud a cloud environment specifically aimed at a community of users, e.g. academia, partners in a consortium and so on In many cases the main categories are Public, Hybrid and Private Cloud. Community is basically private cloud that is used by a number of organizations.
- … As a Service The last term we would like to address is the … as a Service trend. This basically describes what is being offered by the Cloud Computing vendor. The NIST definition mentions three models: SaaS, Software as a Service PaaS, Platform as a Service IaaS, Infrastructure as a Service IaaS There is a clear layered structure with Iaas being the lowest level, in essence just the possibility to use virtualized server resources. It can be defined as: Server Virtualization is dividing a physical server into multiple virtual servers and then masking the server resources from each other through software. To add to that definition, to the user a virtual server acts just like a physical server. You can do whatever you want with it. PaaS One layer higher we find the Platform as a Service layer. On top of IaaS, PaaS now offers for instance the operating system (e.g. Suse Linux). So PaaS is the computing resource and the OS or other software needed to create a complete platform such that no additional software is needed to support applications. SaaS Software as a Service (SaaS) is the top layer and is defined by Wikipedia as: A software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted Examples would be Salesforce.com or other cloud offered software / applications. By definition it builds on the two lower layers, IaaS and PaaS.
- Cloud computing inherently also makes the actual location of your resources less exact. It’s ‘in the cloud’ without being specific. But for organizations this might work for some applications but not for all. When you make a choice between these models also take into account the location of the data center (e.g. Europe, US or other), the kind of applications you want to run (e.g. healthcare data or payments), legislation (on all levels, national and pan national (e.g. Europe’s Data Protection Act)) and the level of security and certifications (e.g. ISO 27000, ISO 9001) of the vendor. The choice for a Cloud Computing vendor is something that needs to be done with care taking the abovementioned issues into account. If you need help in choosing your vendor, please contact us.
- Paying for Cloud Cloud resources (called instances) are virtualized and are often characterized by a number of criteria: number of cores (i.e. processors), storage capacity and type of application (e.g. general purpose, compute intensive). Cloud resources are currently priced per hour and prices vary from a couple of cents per hour for the smallest instances to more than one euro per hour for multicore, large storage instances.
- WSO2 Cloud Overview We can safely conclude that Cloud Computing is not only here to stay, it is going to grow in importance for companies who value flexibility, scalability and pay per use. All WSO2 components can of course be deployed in the cloud. You can do that yourself, deploy for instance API Manager on an Amazon, Google or Microsoft instances. However, there might be a simpler way and that is to use the services that WSO2 offers with regards to the Cloud. In the second part of this article we will look into the three types of Cloud services that WSO2 offers: WSO2 Private Cloud WSO2 Managed Cloud WSO2 Public Cloud

- Benefits of Cloud Cloud computing, just to sum it up, is a flexible pool of computing resources that you can use when you need it. You pay for what you use and are offered flexibility and scalability as to the number of resources. Since it is a service there is no investment in hardware or cost associated with the management of the hardware. Everything is included in the price per resource. Since you pay only for what you use, you can save money if you have for instance peak demands for which you would normally need to buy hardware in order to meet those demands. This could be a development project, monthly computing jobs or anything that you need for a short period of time, every now and then or in case of for instance strongly fluctuating traffic to your website or systems. Cloud computing gives you all the benefits of a flexible pool of resources without the drawbacks of owning, housing and managing (24x7) the hardware and software. That is why our forecast is cloudy with a serious chance of saving money.
- That concludes the presentation part.
