A Cloud has something in it but you can’t see it!People in different
locations see the locations see the
same thing.Everyone who shops on Amazon or searches on Google or
posts on Facebook is using the cloud.

Evolution of Hosted Systems
• Everything old is new again – Why?
• Time share/service bureau of 60’s (Utility model)
• ASP’s of early 21st century
• 60’s high cost of mainframes• 60’s high cost of mainframes
• Early 21st century – high cost of people to
implement and manage software.
• GOAL: Cost effective business systems

Evolution of Hosted Systems
• Hosted systems can reduce Total Cost of
Ownership – ready made infrastructure
• Solves scarce resource problem – Time & Talent
• Convergence of software and communications • Convergence of software and communications
network – inexpensive bandwidth
• Object oriented programming
• Software becomes a service - scalable

Has Become Cloud Infrastructure
The Perceived “Cloud” Benefits Are:
1.) Economies of scale and knowledge (cheaper and better)
2.) Lower barrier to entry (software, hardware, development)
3.) Reduced costs (maintenance, upgrades, enhancements)

Influence of “GEN Y” (15 TO 25)
• Sense of entitlement – “Want it now!”
• Expect “FREE” access to info & products
• Value shared “Experience” - “Community”
• GEN Y desire freedom and decision making • GEN Y desire freedom and decision making
• Motivated by idealism and shared intelligence
• Boomers and GEN X - Aspire to Acquire
• Cars (AutoShare), Music (MP3BEE) – “Rent”

Some Stats To Ponder• IDC – By 2012 85% of new software delivered
as a service rather than a physical product.
• McAfee and Carnegie Mellon University (May 2010 survey) – 49% of respondents claim to be “very” or “extremely” reliant on mobile be “very” or “extremely” reliant on mobile devices. 1 year later – 70% (35% email addicts)
• IDC - 96% of Employees under 45 have a smart phone. 63% use business devices for personal

3 Levels of Cloud Based Delivery Methods
• SaaS: offers a contractual service to deploy, host, manage and rent access to an application from a centrally managed facility. They are responsible for … managing a software application or a set of applications. Example would be Google’s Gmail.
• PaaS: Platform as a service provides operating • PaaS: Platform as a service provides operating Systems, databases & tools running on hardware managed by a Vendor. MS Windows Azure platform is an example. “Your stuff is hosted.”

3 Levels of Cloud Based Delivery Methods
• IaaS: Infrastructure as a service allows users to manage their own applications, data and operating systems leaving servers, storage and networking to a vendor. Focuses on management of the network and servers. “Other’s stuff hosted”of the network and servers. “Other’s stuff hosted”
• Infrastructure includes “virtualization”
Which option is right for your business depends on how much control you want over your company’s software and computing resources.

What is Virtualization?
• In computing, virtualization means to create a virtual version of a device or resource, such as a server, storage device, network or even an operating system where the framework divides the resource into one or more executionenvironments. Even something as simple as environments. Even something as simple as partitioning a hard drive is considered virtualization because you take one drive and partition it to create two separate hard drives.

Public Versus Private Cloud
• You can host your own cloud infrastructure
• OR you can outsource the infrastructure.
• Public Cloud places data control (Security and
uptime) outside the company’s 4 walls.uptime) outside the company’s 4 walls.
• Privacy concerns slowing adoption of Saas in
HR and Finance.

Is The Cloud Really Cheaper?
1) TCO argument falls apart when adding in software, services, hardware
and on-going maintenance – Exit and switching costs.
2) Showing accumulated costs over time (above) shows 3-4 year breakeven
where SaaS becomes more expensive
