    1. Cloud Computing and The Law Wally Kowal, President and Founder Canadian Cloud Computing Inc.

    2. Today’s Agenda Introduction Defining cloud computing The benefits of cloud computing The state of the cloud in Canada The future of the cloud

    3. Who is Canadian Cloud? We are a facilities-based cloud computing services provider We have built our own cloud platform located in Canada and are delivering cloud services today to commercial clients We are a member of the Communitech Accelerator Program Founded in 2009 Moved in to the Communitech Hub in Kitchener in September 2010 Launched commercial service in January 2011 Member of the Canadian Digital Media Network Our management team have 9 decades of experience in high-growth technology companies but this is our first start-up from scratch Our management team has its roots in telecom, so we understand the meaning of the word “reliable”

    4. Defining cloud computing: NIST "Cloud computing is a model for enabling 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 cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.”

    5. The Roots of Cloud Computing

    6. Defining Cloud Computing: NIST "Cloud computing is a model for enabling 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 cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.”

    9. Cloud has Multiple Delivery Models

    10.

This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.”

    11. The Power of the Cloud

    12. Benefits of Cloud Computing Reduce capital costs Cloud computing removes the need to purchase hardware and software and replaces capital expenses with operating expenses Increase quality of service Clouds are usually located in a data centre where power, cooling and Internet connectivity are designed and maintained to meet strict reliability levels Reduce implementation time The cloud delivers a server up and running within minutes or hours instead of weeks or months Increase flexibility Cloud computing lets you change CPU, memory or storage as required. Save money Leave server operations and maintenance to the cloud provider, which reduces manpower costs

    13. Canadian Competitive Overview Canadian IT hosting market is highly concentrated Top 15 companies have 80% of the market Global public cloud computing providers (Google, Amazon, IBM) Managed Service Providers Data centre operators (Q9, PEER1, Bell) The remaining 20% is split between 2,000 companies Few direct Canadian competitors in cloud

    14. Who Should be Concerned Companies that have legal requirements Medical Banking Companies that have regulatory requirements Insurance Financial Companies that just want to sleep better “at risk” groups Cautious decision-makers

    15. Most cloud legal issues are not new Service level agreement Qualify and quantify Remedies are both contractual and legal User access Who has access to the data? Regulatory compliance Data recovery What happens on exit or breach of service? Investigative support Are foreign service providers subject to local warrants/demands? What resources does the operator have?

    16. Some legal issues are unique to cloud Data location Where is the data located? Who is aware of the data’s location? Who controls the data’s location? What jurisdiction applies? Data segregation Comingling of data Security Auditability Software licensing
