Demystifying Cloud Computing

Presenter:

Fazle Abbas Luqmani

Definition of Cloud Computing

• NIST Defines 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

• IBM considers cloud computing to be a potentially cost-efficient model for provisioning processes, applications and services while making IT management simpler and increasing business responsiveness.

• Microsoft defines Cloud computing is as much a paradigm shift in data center and IT management as it is a culmination of IT’s capacity to drive business ahead. It can be narrowly defined as “just-in-time provisioning and scaling of services on shared hardware.” But really, it’s an opportunity to completely transform how your business and its people work.

First, what the heck is

Cloud Computing?…in simple, plain English please!

Let’s use a simple analogy

Say you just moved to

a city or your family

is growing and you’re

looking for

a place to live

You can either

Build a house or

Rent an apartment

If you build a house, there are a few

important decisions you have to make…

How big is the house?

are you planning to grow a large family?

Remodel, addition typically cost a lot

more once the house is built

But, you get a chance to customize it

tile

flooring

Roof floor plan

landscaping

windows

lighting

Once the house is built,

you’re responsible for maintenance

Hire LandscaperElectricianPlumber

Pay property tax

Electricity Water

Gutter CleaningHeating and Cooling House Keeping

How about renting?

Consider a builder in your city builds

a massive number of apartment units

You make a fewer,

simplerdecisions

You can start with one

unit and grow later, or

downsize

A unit can easily be converted into a 2,3,4 or more units

No need to worry about maintenance cost

No need to Hire landscapers,

electricians, plumbers

But…

You do not have

a lot of options to

customize your unit

However, builders provide you with

very high quality infrastructure

high speed Internet

high capacity electricity

triple pane windows

green materials

Just pay your rentand utilities

Pay as You Go

Let’s translate to

IT pressures and paradigm shift

Layoffs

Economy is upside down

Excess Capacity

Bankruptcy

Can we bridge the gap?

Requires

a New Way

of Thinking

Leave it to the expertswho have build giant datacenters

across the globe

Where your data is replicated

3 or 4 times in their data centers

High Availability

Provisioning “servers” is a click away.

Running in just minutes, not days

It can even load balance your server traffic

Network

is always up

Yes, you can even pick

where your data

and “servers” reside

Just reduce your

computing power, storage

But

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)• Compute resources (processors, memory, storage, bandwidth, etc.) are provided

in an as-needed, pay-as-you-go model

• Able to provide from single server up to entire data centers

• Creates new opportunities such as Cloud bursting: shifting usage spike traffic to alternate resources

• Infrastructure scales up and down quickly to meet demand

• Built on a utility computing architecture to host a SOA application layer

What are the benefits & challenges IaaS?

Benefits• Systems managed by SLA should equate to

fewer breaches

• Higher return on assets through higher utilization

• Reduced cost driven by

– Less hardware

– Less floor space from smaller hardware footprint

– Higher level of automation from fewer administrators

– Lower power consumption

• Able to match consumption to demand

• Challenges• Portability of applications

• Maturity of systems management tools

• Integration across the Cloud boundary

• Extension of internal security models

Platform as a Service (PaaS)• Applications are built in the “cloud” on the platform using a variety of

technologies

• Simplifies orchestration of cloud services

• Development, testing, and production environments (servers, storage, bandwidth, etc.) are billed monthly like hosting

• Pay-as-you-go model

• Environments scale up & down at the click of a button

• Concerns include code & data privacy, security and scalability

What are the benefits & challenges of PaaS?

Benefits

• Pay-as-you-go for development, test, and production environments

• Enables developers to focus on application code

• Instant global platform

• Elimination of H/W dependencies and capacity concerns

• Inherent scalability

• Simplified deployment model

• Challenges

• Governance

• Tie-in to the vendor

• Extension of the security model to the provider

• Connectivity

• Reliance on 3rd party SLA’s

Software as a Service (SaaS)• Applications (word processor, CRM, etc.) or application services (schedule,

calendar, etc.) execute in the “cloud” using the interconnectivity of the internet to propagate data

• Custom services are combined with 3rd party commercial services via orchestration (SOA) to create new applications

• Requires investment to build an enabling layer with governance, security and data management functionality

• May require integration with back-office systems

• Pay-as-you-go model

What are the benefits & challenges of SaaS?

Benefits• Speed• Reduced up-front cost, potential for

reduced lifetime cost• Transfer of some/all support

obligations• Elimination of licensing risk• Elimination of version compatibility• Reduced hardware footprint

• Challenges• Extension of the security model to

the provider (data privacy and ownership)

• Governance and billing management

• Synchronization of client and vendor migrations

• Integrated end-user support• Scalability

Not So Fast ….

• Not all computing resources should exist in the clouds.

• Cloud computing is not always cost effective.

• Do your homework before making the move.

Why this is so compelling: It’s a disruptive technology

• Doesn’t meet enterprise needs

• Isn’t easy for enterprises to control

• Doesn’t support general enterprise IT practices

• Good enough for startups and SMBs

• “Cheap” compute
