Cloud Computing -
The natural evolution of grid
computing infrastructure and
virtualization techniques that allow a
network to logically distribute
computing power to its users
Our Definition
4
Traditional PC Setup• Client PC performs majority of processes
Cloud Computing• Dynamically allocates the
processing power of several connected servers
• Software as a Service (SaaS)• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Economies of Scale
5
Past• Mainframes
Present• Citrix• Google Apps
Future• Thin clients will replace a multitude of
PC configurations from home use to video editing
Cloud Evolution
Cloud services operating system Allows developers to write code as they
normally would Azure is tasked with allocating processing
jobs and ensuring redundancy Removes the need to
manage hardware
Windows Azure

48 core processor• Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC)
Still in development stage• Based on Intel’s x86 architecture
commonly used in desktop PCs• Already incorporated in Microsoft’s
pipeline for future use

Takeaways and Best Practices
10
Reduces difficulty of maintaining several computer configurations• Solutions such as Citrix centralize applications
o Increases mobility o Allows IT to focus on efficiency and innovation
Utilizing 3rd party computing power or software is a viable alternative• Scale up and down on-demand• Pay for what you use incrementally• Amazon article conversion
Reducing Cost
11
Infrastructure is difficult to develop and maintain
Vernon Turner, SVP IDC Enterprise Infrastructure• “IT executives are feeling the pinch of their budgets
being squeezed…infrastructure remains underutilized“
Largest investment is datacenters Cloud computing increases utilization from ~2% to ~30%
Cost ofInfrastructure

12
Datacenters are a Key Component
Server room• Center of IT operations
Provisioned for peak usage• Extra capacity is marketable
Redundancy• Cloud computing
dynamically allocates the processing power of several connected servers
13
IT Asset Lifecycle – Less to Recycle• Thin clients require fewer resources• Upgraded dynamically with the cloud
Software as a Service (SaaS)• Software usage can be easily tracked
Snagit screen capture software at AB• EULA: Free for personal, non-commercial
use
Simplified Asset Management

Lack of standards• Development is necessary to ensure long-term
sustainability Privacy• Justifiable concerns over privacy will hinder
consumer adoption• Reliance on 3rd parties to protect sensitive data
Network traffic• Increases will take its toll as reliance shifts from
the motherboard to the cloud• Reliability and availability are vital to a company
Challenges
Privileged User Access Data Management Personnel
Regulatory Compliance Regular audits and certifications
Data Location Data Segregation Recovery
Complete Restoration a must
Investigative Support Contractual Commitment
Long-Term Viability of the Company15

IDC Forecast
http://www.infosysblogs.com/cloudcomputing/2009/08/the_cloud_computing_quotes.html 18
Cloud Computing Will Be As Influential As E-business
By 2012, Gartner predicts• Revenue will soar faster than expected
and will exceed $150 billion• 80% of Fortune 1000 enterprises will be
paying for some cloud computing services• 30% will be paying for cloud computing
infrastructure services
QuotablePredictions
19
One of the largest challenges to IT• Gartner: 133,000 computers junked each
day• Costly to recycle• Data security
Threat to the environment• Includes many non-renewable resources• Harmful elements such as lead and
mercury
E-Waste

Cloud computing really comes into focus only
when you think about what IT always needs: a
way to increase capacity or add capabilities on
the fly without investing in new infrastructure,
training new personnel, or licensing new
software - Bill Martin
