7. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com Working Definitions of Cloud Computing points to improved business agility benefits A style of computing in which massively scalable IT-enabled capabilities are delivered “as a service” to multiple customers using Internet technologies • A standardized IT capability (services, software, or infrastructure) delivered via Internet technologies in a pay-per-use, self-service way This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models info@quontrasolutions.com Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction

8. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com Cloud solutions need to meet some key characteristics • Shared infrastructure • Advanced Virtualization • Multi-tenancy • Lower time to value Inability to meet these characteristics will reduce the benefits harnessed from cloud computing info@quontrasolutions.com On-demand self-service Ubiquitous network access Location independent resource pooling Rapid elasticity Measured service

9. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com Cloud technology adoption can be categorized under three major delivery models • Other Delivery Models • Database as a Service • Government as a Service • STorage as a Service • Information as a Service • Identity as a Service • E-mail as a Service • ERP as a Service • TAX as a Service • DEsktop as a Service To be considered “cloud” they must be deployed on top of cloud infrastructure that has the key characteristics info@quontrasolutions.com Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS) Platform as a Service (PaaS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

10. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com Each delivery model has unique characteristics with leading providers info@quontrasolutions.com

11. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com Cloud technology adoption falls under different deployment models Two types: internal and external info@quontrasolutions.com • Private cloud • enterprise owned or leased • Community cloud • shared infrastructure for specific community • Public cloud • Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure • Hybrid cloud • composition of two or more clouds

12. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com Cloud computing implementation has some common characteristics Some of these characteristics will be limited when implementing private clouds info@quontrasolutions.com • Massive scale • Virtualization • Free software • Autonomic computing • Homogeneity • Geographically distributed systems • Advanced security technologies • Service oriented software

13. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com The taxonomy for cloud computing depicts how various components need to work together info@quontrasolutions.com

14. info@quontrasolutions.com www.quontrasolutions.com The relationships between standards and taxonomies can be used as a starting point to lay out a roadmap Building a small, low-risk and limited term cloud implementation within an enterprise can provide the foundation to exploit additional benefits as cloud technology matures info@quontrasolutions.com
