  1. Cloudy Skies Ahead? A Practical Discussion of Cloud Computing in Government Dave Rogers, Government Strategic Advisor - Microsoft

  2. “Cloud Computing” Another Industry term that no longer has any value Remember the basics… Technology is about having powerful tools that solve business problems.

  3. When you hear Cloud Computing… • It means that you can “manage services” rather than on premises infrastructure and overhead- (reduces costs) • Own the TV station or just watch TV… • It is not new nor magical - your utilities, cable, cell phone, email, etc.

  4. Why is government looking to the cloud? Are these really new in government? Under pressure to reduce costs Loss of Staffing – “I don’t have the staff to run my systems” My Users need to access data remotely Disaster Recovery costs are prohibitive and/or not budgeted “I am Out of datacenter Space/Power/AC” Need to shift CapEX to OpEx – “my infrastructure is aging” “E-Discovery/FOIA Requests is killing me…” Need to deal with dynamic application load to reduce costs Time to Value. “I want to deliver new capabilities faster…”

  5. A little history… (out of beta 2009) Web Applications (2010) Avail to 400M consumers at release (2004) 2B emails/day (2003) 5B conf mins/yr (2001) 20M+ active users (1999) 2B queries/mth (1999) 320M+ active users (1998) Largest non-TCP/IP cloud service x100M users Windows Live Messenger Windows LiveHotmail Windows Update (1997) 550M users/mth (1996) 450M+ active users

  6. “The system runs seven-by-twenty-four, never gets sick, never goes on vacation, and we can’t replicate that.” -Gordon Peterson, IT Director – City of Carlsbad, CA “We expect a savings of approximately 40 percent annually” “Enables us to reduce IT operational costs by roughly 30%”- Glaxo Smith Kline

  23. Excel Web App Pivot Tables Charts

  24. Reliability An SLA is nice… …financially-backed is better… SLA Threshold … but a proven track record is best… MS Online Uptime …because what you really want is the uptime, not the credit.
