What is Cloud Computing? • ‘Cloud Computing’ is a term used to refer to a model of network computing where a program or application runs on a connected server or servers rather than on a local computing device such as a PC, tablet or Smartphone. • A “Cloud” is a computer network to Store, Access and Share Data from Internet Connected Devices.
What is the need for Cloud Computing? Why Cloud Services?
The need for Cloud Services arose from Increased Importance being given to IT Services in a Business Organization. Which is a result of changes in Business Strategy & Goals of the Organization due to stiff competition and their need to survive & grow.
Business Goals V/s IT Spend Businesses have big ideas ! • Drive Sales • Increase Revenues • Cut Costs But IT Infra (expansion) & Business Apps are expensive leading to heavy CAPEX on IT This is a major problem for the CIOs
Issues in IT Infra expansion • Space Issue • Infra Issue • Management Approval • Finance Approval • Vendor Identification & Rating • Elaborate Procurement Process • Delivery Time & Delay • IT Human Resources • Installation & Integration • Networking & Telecom • Testing & Training
Facts for Cloud Growth 1. Cut Costs on one side 2. Heavy CAPEX on IT on the other side 3. Improved Telecom Connectivity 4. Business Process Outsourcing
The Optimal Solution Migrate to Cloud Computing Business Organization : Outsource computing services to a CSP Convert Capital expenditures to operating expenditure in IT Services Cloud Service Business Model : Provide Computing Resources to various customers on Sharing basis
Benefits of Going to the “Cloud” • Cos can save a lot of money • Convert Capital Capital Expenditures to Operating Expenditure • Pay-per-use • Robust Scalability • Reduce IT manpower • Cos can save lot of valuable time • Instant availability • Cos can avoid mishaps • Cos on concentrate of Growth/Profits
Pay Per Use Resources • Per vCPU/Hour • Per GB RAM/Hour • Per 50 GB Storage/Hour • Shared Network Segment*/Hour • Data Transfer/GB/Hour • * Includes VLAN, Load Balancing, Switching, • Routing & Managed Firewall
What is Open Stack? Open Stack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich.
Who uses Open Stack? Corporations, service providers, VARS, SMBs, researchers, and global data centers looking to deploy large-scale cloud deployments for private or public clouds leveraging the support and resulting technology of a global open source community.
Virtualization Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources.
Benefits of Virtualization Hardware Abstraction Ease of Migration Encapsulation of Storage Ease of Growth Workload Consolidation Improved Remote Management Improved Monitoring and Troubleshooting
Red Hat Storage Red Hat Storage is a new distributed file system (DFS) based on the Gluster file system. A distributed file system is a client/server-based application that allows clients to access and process data stored on the server as if it were on their own computer. Red Hat Storage acts as a scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) and object storage software solution.
Benefits of Red Hat Storage Eliminates the need for proprietary storage systems Storage can be configured in a variety of ways Redundancy is built-in Files are presented as one file system structure independent of the underlying physical storage location Offers scalable storage in the data center or on-premise private cloud
