• What is Cloud Computing?• Introducing Windows Server 2012• Windows Server 2012 and the Private
Cloud• Microsoft’s New(est) Certification Strategy
What is Cloud Computing?
What is Cloud Computing?
The Internet – the original Cloud
What is Cloud Computing?
• Cloud computing:– Abstracts the details of how applications,
storage, network, and other computing resources are delivered
– Uses virtualization, remote access methods (remote desktop), shared storage, multi-tenancy
– Top cloud application is storage, followed by conferencing/collaboration
What is Cloud Computing?
• Two broad cloud computing categories:– Public cloud
• Computing resources are provided by a third party• Computing resources are accessed via the Internet
– Private cloud• Computing resources are provided by your IT
department• Resources are virtualized so that much of the
processing occurs in the IT datacenter
What is Cloud Computing?
Public cloud
What is Cloud Computing?
Private cloud
Internal datacenter
Typical LAN or WAN connection
What is Cloud Computing?
• The three aaS of cloud computing:– Software as a Service (SaaS)– Platform as a Service (PaaS)– Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Other aaS that are subsets of these– Network as a Service, Storage as a Service,
Security as a Service, Desktop as a Service, Data as a Service, and so on.
What is Cloud Computing?
• Are you using public cloud computing?– The answer is yes, if you use:
• Google Apps (including Gmail)• Microsoft Office 365• Dropbox, iCloud, SkyDrive, Box, etc.• Netflix (uses Amazon’s public cloud service)• or a host of other online services
What is Cloud Computing?
• Are you using private cloud computing?– The answer is yes if:
• you use virtual desktops at work• you use Windows remote desktop to access your
applications and/or desktop interface• connect to virtualized applications or servers
What is Cloud Computing?
• Why use cloud computing?– Lower up-front costs to get an application off the
ground– 50% of companies planning or in the process of
migrating to cloud computing– Influenced by employees using personal
computing devices– Lower maintenance burden– 13% savings for IT budgets reported after
adoption of cloud computing
