Is this the end of Corporate Computing
So why doesn’t company X tear down their data centers and move everything to Amazon cloud?
Security, integration with enterprise and proprietary systems, performance and control requirements will prohibit this from happening

But can Company X learn from Google and Amazon? But can Company X learn from Google and Amazon?

But what if …..
Services in the cloud that could be activated on demand … for an unlimited set of users
With great userexperience
All running on a cloud of commodity infrastructure, automated to respond to changing requirements and optimized for performance and costs.
…. You could operate like Google ?

Modern Datacenters Build-Out:Standard Technologies – Poor Results
Standards in Datacenter
Yet Poor Economic Results
• Over provisioned
• Complex sprawl
• Inefficient operations
• Not agile
• Expensive
IT-Driven Business
Web Apps Everywhere
Big IT Budgets
Commodity X86 Machines
Migration to Linux

Analyst View
“As grid deployments have matured and
become more integrated with other
activities, drivers for adoption have
evolved ….. cost control, revenue
generation, better utilization, support for
additional workloads and the ability to
more quickly respond to changing needs
are all benefits that can now be realized.
This is no longer a one-dimensional
world of performance improvement.”

Datacenter Spend
• Data center facilities spend is a large, quickly growing and very inefficient portion of the total IT budget in many technology intensive industries…..
Drivers
Poor demand and capacity planning within
and across functions
Significant failings in asset management (6% average
server utilization, 56% facility utilization)
Boards, CEOs, and CFOs are not holding CIOs
accountable for critical data center facilities and
operational efficiency

To control utilization How do you define and enforce business service levels for critical applications?
To speed deploymentHow do you standardize and automate application packaging and configuration?
To maximize response time How do you provision applications on demand?
To minimize growth ratesHow do you optimize application performance based on changing demand in real time?
To monitor infrastructure costs
How do you meter and chargeback shared application services based on SLA?
