  2. Evolution of Cloud Computing Customers are asking: (Why, How, How Much & When) Today | Cloud 2000s | Web 1990s | Client / Server Network 1970s and 80s | Mainframe

  3. Evolution of Computing

  4. Cloud AnalogyThink about services you use everyday. We typically use a device to access these kind of services. We pay on a subscription/consumption basis. We really have no clue how it works, it just does, and oh yeah, we would like it on demand. Same concept for the world of cloud systems, only we use a computing device to access the service via a web connection.

  5. A Working Definition of Cloud Computing 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.

  6. 5 Essential Cloud Characteristics • On‐demand self‐service (features or users) • Resource pooling (infrastructure or application) • Rapid elasticity (resources) • Measured service (resources or features) • Broad network access (computer or mobile)

  7. Consumer Cloud Services • Typically inexpensive or free • Limited functionality, may work for very small business • Wildly popular in the consumer segment • Captured younger audiences, • Leverage success into mainstream business model MSFT $8B • PRODUCTIVITY • ENTERTAINMENT • Search • STORAGE • INSURANCE & • FINANCE • COMMUNICATIONS

  8. Business Drivers - What’s coming? Distributed Workforce Consumerization of IT 50 84 percent of business devices are expected to be smartphones by 2014 percent of organizations have a remote workforce at some level Infrastructure Complexity Infrastructure Utilization 70 85 percent of IT budgets is spent maintaining datacenter operations percent of datacenter capacity is idle on average

  9. If it is running in the cloud, why do I need an expensive PC anymore? percent of business devices are expected to be smartphones by2014 percent of organizations have a remote workforce (i.e. sales) Motorola Matrix Example – Technology available now and will improve over time

  10. Evolution of Business Computing Traditional Data Center Cloud Computing Virtualized Computing Private Public

  11. How cloudy do you want it? Terms you might hear and what they mean Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS) Private Cloud Hosted or In-House Applications Applications Applications Applications You Manage You Configure Runtimes Runtimes Runtimes Runtimes You Manage Databases Databases Databases Databases Security, Management, Load Balancing & Integration Security, Management, Load Balancing & Integration Security, Management, Load Balancing & Integration Security, Management, Load Balancing & Integration Storage Storage Storage Storage YouManage Managed by Vendor Managed by Vendor Virtualization Virtualization Virtualization Virtualization OS OS OS OS Managed by Vendor Server Hardware Server Hardware Server Hardware Server Hardware Networking Networking Networking Networking Less Control But Typically Less Cost Higher Control & Typically Higher Cost

  12. Shift in How Software is Deployed On-Demand • Subscription-based pricing model - Pay only for what you need • “We know we need to earn your business every year” Ongoing Cost Comparison On-Premises • Higher ROI and faster payback • Save time with automated and streamlined processes • Higher employee productivity • Real time visibility • Anytime, anywhere access • No IT infrastructure and on-going operational costs • No additional upgrades costs • Continuous product innovation • Industrial-grade infrastructure with guaranteed service levels and operational excellence • Subscription fee • Training • Configuration • Ongoing IT workload • Fixes, Patches • Maintenance & upgrades: • Hardware • Network • Downtime • Performance tuning • Rewrite customizations • Rewrite integrations • Upgrade dependent applications • Disaster recovery • Security • Database

  13. Microsoft Cloud Scalability – Chicago Data Center • $500M Investment (Chicago) • 56 Containers on floor • ~2000 servers per container • 4 man air skates • ITPAC - New design for outdoor use • Shipped anywhere in the world for scalability

  14. Business Driven Examples • PRODUCTIVITY • COLLABORATION • BUSINESS APPS • MANAGEMENT • STORAGE • PLATFORM • COMMUNICATIONS

  15. Cost: Disaster Recovery Let your cloud partner worry about it

  16. Office 365—Productivity Tools in the cloud

  17. SaaS Solutions Deliver Rich User Interfaces via Browsers – Intacct Financials - IPAD

  18. Management Shift - Mobile Device Management Becoming More Important Remote Wipe If Lost/Stolen Encryption Forced Passwords Policy Remote resets Published Applications Usage Data Block Access to Apps Balance between Business and Home Use

  19. Cloud Pros and Cons In Cloud Pros Low cost of entry – Capital vs. OpEx Managed upgrades Managed security Managed HVAC, PWR, Backup and DR Scalable as you grow Quick deployment Tighter management controls Good migration path Anywhere/Anytime access Ongoing support – financial SLAs Software maintenance typically bundled Predictable Costs Thin Client – lower hardware costs On Premise Pros Cost, do the numbers, not always better You decide when to upgrade You manage the security model Reduced dependence on Internet Great for heavy application integration Easy access to the IT guy down the hall No question who owns the data Blinking Lights, tech guys love’em Lower bandwidth requirements More robust clients today Compliance control – PCI, HIPAA, etc. – vet your partners well How do you decide? Cloud, Mixed….?
