What are Cloud Services “Cloud computing is about how computing is getting done, not where it is getting done. The great promise of the cloud is that it will enable things to get done faster and more cheaply—by removing and hiding complexity.” • Paul Maritz CEO of VMware
Services SMSproTech Offers • Fiber Internet Services • Offsite Backup Replication • Server Co-Location • Cloud Compute
Fiber Internet Services • Time Warner Fiber • NKTelco Fiber • P2P, P2MP, Internet Connectivity

Server Co-Location • Limited access server room • Fire Suppression • Cooling • Redundant UPS’s and Generator power • Cisco Switching Infrastructure • Cisco Firewall or Fortigate UTM • Hybrid Solutions with Cloud Compute
Cloud Computing Services The next few slides are an excerpt from this presentation: http://slideshare.net/Guppers/im-cloud-confused
Let’s use a simple analogy Say you just moved to a city, and you’re looking for a place to live
You can either Builda house or Rentan apartment
If you builda house, there are a few important decisions you have to make…
Howbigis the house? are you planning to have a large family? Remodeling and additions typically cost a lot more once the house is built
But, you get a chance to customizeit flooring tile windows floor plan Roof lighting landscaping
Once the house is built, you’re responsible for maintenance Pay property tax Hire Landscaper Water Electrician Electricity Plumber Heating and Cooling Gutter Cleaning House Keeping
Consider a builder in your city builds a massivenumber of apartment units
A unit can easilybe converted into 2,3,4 or more units
You make fewer, simpler decisions You can start with one unit and grow later, or downsize
But… You do nothave a lot of options to customize your unit

No need to worryabout maintenance cost No need to Hirelandscapers, electricians, plumbers
Cloud Computing Services • VMware vSphere 5 Based • Built on leading hardware platforms • vCloud Director Interface (coming soon) • Flexible Billing Methods • Robust Datacenter • Redundant UPS Power • Natural Gas Generator • Multiple Internet Carriers • Offsite Backup to DR Datacenter • Built to Suit • Self Service or Fully Managed
Why Cloud Computing? • Queues? • Custom requests? • Hardware acquisition? • Individual approvals? “May we have a LAMP stack, please? Developers and other users place high demands on IT… Developers / Project Team IT Admin
Solving the demand on IT • Achieve the economics and agility of cloud computing without sacrificing security or control • Customers can self provision virtual servers from scratch or templates, eliminating wait times associated with hardware purchasing and setup • Scale capacity as needed without purchasing more hardware or having idle equipment Self-ServicePortals Catalogs Virtual Data Centers
vCloud Billing Methods • Pay-As-You-Go - Resources are committed only when vApps are created, pay for only what you need. (Great for Test/Dev environments) • Allocation Pool - Only a percentage of the resources you allocate are guaranteed. (Great for Tier 2 Applications that are important, but do not demand 100% committed resources 24x7) • Reservation Pool – All resources you are using are guaranteed. Meaning CPU / RAM / Storage, and are not effected by other customers on the cloud. (Great for Tier 1 Applications that are business critical)
