  1. Dispelling the Fog About Cloud Computing November 2, 2012 Dan KusnetzkyFounder

  2. Required Cloud Picture Every presentation on cloud computing simply must include a lovely photo of a cloud. Here's my photo of Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Fla. Now that is done, let's discuss the realities and myths of cloud computing.

  3. What Is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is an outgrowth of several longstanding trends • A slightly new way to address organizations' desire: • To focus on their key points of added value • To pass other functions on to others who can do them more efficiently and at lower cost • Based upon the intersection of: • Outsourcing • Increased use of industry standard systems • Increasingly virtualized environments

  4. Attributes of Cloud Computing • Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). • Usually these resources are: • Self-provisioned • Paid for using a “utility model,” paid by the use • Easily scaled up or down as needed • Typically a multi-tenant environment

  5. Why Cloud Computing? • Hardware, software & staff cost reduction • No more datacenter space • No budget for new equipment or staff • Agility • Risk reduction

  7. Cloud Computing: The Next Step in the Trend Towards Outsourcing IT Cloud computing makes it possible to purchase IT functions as needed, provision them on the fly, and pay for them as they are consumed.

  8. Categories of Cloud Computing

  9. Public, Private, Hybrid Clouds:Where Is the Action? Public Private Hybrid

  10. What's Holding Back Cloud Adoption? Concerns about: • Cross-border data flow • Data security • Regulatory compliance • Lack of experience • Lack of standards for migration and interoperability Unreasonable expectations

  11. Emerging Standards • Cloud Security Alliance • Cloud Standards Customer Council • Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) • National Institute of Standards (NIST) • Open Data Center Alliance

  12. Emerging Frameworks • Open Standards • CloudStack • OpenStack • Vendor frameworks • Amazon • Eucalyptus • Microsoft Azul? • VMware vCloud

  13. Some Suggestions • Is this trip really necessary? • Know where you’re going, or you might end up somewhere else. • Know what your organization really wants to accomplish, or you might not achieve your goals. • Plan for security, reliability, or manageability!
