The Big Switch “We will probably see the spread of ‘computer utilities’ which like present electric and telephone utilities, will service individual homes and offices across the country” Kleinrock, 1969 “Goodbye ‘World Wide Web.’ Hello ‘World Wide Computer’ ” Carr, 2008

Business Drivers and IT Challenges • “70% of the budget to keep IT running, 30% available to create new value” “…that needs to be inverted” • Weeks of planning, justification, and deployment and then we’re stuck with it for 5 years – even if our needs change in a month…” “…or we could just buy it as a service – right now” • “Most of our legacy applications are stable and predictable” “…we need to incrementally improve efficiency without disruption” • “but, new, more dynamic and fluid approaches to IT must also be leveraged for new applications and changing legacy applications” “…new, revolutionary IT models are essential as well” IT Challenges Globalization Aging data centers Storage growth Application explosion Cost of ownership Security Complexity Acquisitions Time to Market

Top Threats in the Cloud Loss of governance Lock-in Isolation failure Compliance risks Data protection Insecure or incomplete data deletion Malicious insider • Abuse and nefarious use of Cloud computing • Insecure interface and APIs • Malicious insiders • Share technology issues • Data loss or leakage • Account or service hijacking • Unknown risk profile
Why GRC & Security is Important • Consequences • Risk of fines for failed audits • TJX – total cost > $1b for breach • Heartland – estimated at more than $140m • Compliance concerns stall virtualization and Cloud • Audits time consuming and costly • Concerns of identifying risk and proper valuation • Breach • Regulation • Other?
Virtual Data Center Business Drivers & Benefits • Application level business continuity • Simplify and improve disaster recovery process • Ensure important applications receive resources required to meet business needs • Improved productivity, operational flexibility, and increased availability • Optimize resources - consolidate of servers, storage, and fabrics • Reduce hardware, power, cooling and space requirements • Reallocate resources with no downtime • Quickly and easily provision new servers • Secure desktops • Centralized management • Patch gold copies once, with automated roll-out
Benefits of Cloud • IT provisioning in minutes instead of weeks • Application development, testing, and QA are flexible and self-service enabled • Relocation from test and development to production is predictable and seamless • Resources scale fluidly to meet growing or reduced need • Service level easily adjusted after the fact • Resources granularly metered to optimize utilization and cost IT has more time to focus on the strategic; the LOB has more time to focus on the business Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
VDC and Cloud Governance, Risk, and Compliance • Understand where your data is and who “owns it” • Develop and implement end-to-end information lifecycle management • Tie corporate governance with IT governance • Understand impact of regulations and laws (compliance) on your data • Know what risks exist and how to mitigate • Leverage standards and best practices to provide guidance and a foundation for decision making Cloud Model Security Control Model Compliance Model Cloud Security Alliance Model
Myths • Cloud is cheaper • Usage model does not matter • Cloud will do everything for you • Transformation of data center doesn’t change staffing needs • Cloud reduces or removes risk Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
Service Models Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
Cloud Computing Definition Cloud Tenets • Deployment Models • Private Cloud • Public Cloud • Hybrid Cloud • Service Models • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-145/Draft-SP-800-145_Cloud-definition.pdf
Definition Rapid Elasticity • Capacity can be scaled up, down, in, or out dynamically • Scaling is immediate • Licensing is also built to scale • Underlying hardware can be anywhere geographically Capabilities can be rapidly and elastically provisioned, in some cases automatically, to quickly scale out and rapidly released to quickly scale in. NIST
Measured Service • Definition • Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). • Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service. • NIST • Infrastructure operational costs incurred on a pay-per-use basis • Contractual obligations tied to price tiering • No obligation has the highest price
Definition Broad Network Access • Network is essential to consume the service • Endpoints can be of any type: • Smartphone, tablet, notebook, laptop, desktop, server, other applications Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs). NIST
Resource Pooling • Definition The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. NIST Shared Resources • Infrastructure and services run on shared physical devices (e.g., multi-tenant)
Definition On-Demand Self-Service • On-Demand • Customers incur no infrastructure capital costs and are charged an Operational Expense (OPEX) • Workload forecasting unnecessary • Demand trends are predicted managed by the provider • The underlying hardware may be anywhere geographically • Self-service • Resources directly/indirectly reserved by the customer via a web based portal and appropriate APIs A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service’s provider. NIST
