  8. SaaS Providers

  9. PaaS Providers

  10. IaaS Providers

  11. Private Cloud • Dedicated Clouds • Usually Hosted Internally • Use Chargeback/Shared Services Model • External Private Clouds Exist • Technology is Discussed Later

  12. Private Cloud

  13. Hosting Providers

  14. Technical Feasibility • How is this possible? • Moore’s Law • Ubiquity of Bandwidth & Internet Connectivity • Commoditization of Computing • Virtualization

  22. Cloud Computing • Business Case • Time-to-Market • Operating Expense vs. Capital Expense • Allows for Focus on Core Competency • Elasticity

  23. Cloud Computing • Business Case • Time-to-Market • Global Presence • Focus on Core Competency • Elasticity

  24. Cloud Computing • Business Case • Time-to-Market • You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can not get them across, your ideas will not get you anywhere - Lee Iacocca • Enhanced Responsiveness to Market/Customers

  25. Cloud Computing • Business Case • Global Presence • Barriers to Entry - No More • Multiple Provider Data Centers – Appease Jurisdictions

  26. Cloud Computing • Business Case • Focus on Core Competency • Business Can Focus • Providers Can Focus

  27. Cloud Computing • Business Case • Elasticity

  28. Cloud Computing • CBA • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) • Return on Investment (ROI) • Controlling Costs • Operating Expense vs. Capital Expense

  29. Cloud Computing • CBA • TCO • Traded for Control/Customization • SaaS Has Lowest TCO • IaaS Has Highest TCO

  30. Cloud Computing • CBA • ROI • Varies, Difficult to Quantify • Whatever the Board/CxO Wants

  31. Cloud Computing • CBA • Controlling Costs • Costs Become Variable versus Fixed • Usually Lower than Fixed • Difficult to Gauge at First

  32. Cloud Computing • CBA • Operating Expense versus Capital Expense • Reduced Up-Front Expenses • Computing Costs are Spread-Out

  33. Cloud Computing Cloud Strategy/Roadmap

  34. Risk & Cloud • The Cloud is Perceived as Risky Business • Lack of Control • Regulatory Compliance • Hacks, Outages, Disasters….Oh My! Source: Youtube
