Definitions
Cloud computing… The word "cloud" is used as a metaphor for "the Internet" Cloud computing is the process of outsourcing IT services – such as servers, storage and applications – to a shared platform accessed via the Internet. End users access cloud based applications through a web browser or a light weight desktop or mobile apps while business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location. Services are provided as a utility, most often on a subscription basis Saves money and energy, as a vendor maintains the infrastructure and applications that run in the cloud environment instead of the organization.

Why Cloud Computing?
Reduced internal IT infrastructure Backup & redundancy in the Cloud Predictable monthly costs Low/no cost upgrades – always running the latest version Anywhere, anytime access, on ANY device, i.e. everything through a browser No/limited install of local files & programs

Compared to On-Premises The Cloud Offers Better ROI + Shifts Fixed CAPEX to Variable OPEX
On-Premises Software Cloud Computing
Ongoing Costs Ongoing Costs • Apply Fixes, Patches, • Ongoing burden on IT • Subscription fee Upgrade • Maintain/upgrade • Training • Downtime hardware • Configuration • Performance tuning • Maintain/upgrade network • Rewrite customizations • Maintain/upgrade security • Rewrite integrations • Maintain/upgrade • Upgrade dependent database applications • Training

Cloud Deployment Models
16 8/12/2013
Deployment Models
Public cloud Private cloud Hybrid cloud
Public Cloud
Applications, storage, and other resources are made available to the general public by a service provider. These services are free or offered on a pay-per-use model. Generally, public cloud service providers like Microsoft and Google own and operate the infrastructure and offer access only via Internet (direct connectivity is not offered).
Public Cloud Vendors
Amazon Rackspace IBM Verizon AT&T HP Microsoft Google
17 8/12/2013
Private Cloud
Dedicated system of servers, managed for a single enterprise. Servers can be either maintained on-premise or off-premise at a third party location. Private cloud provides greater control and performance, besides providing greater security for data and applications. Best suited for industries that are highly regulated (defense, healthcare, etc) and enterprises that run strategic applications that require high performance.
Private Cloud Vendors
HP IBM Vmware Dell Microsoft Rackspace Cisco
Hybrid Clouds
Combine the best of private cloud (security, control) and public cloud (flexibility, cost) installations. In a hybrid cloud installation, the enterprise maintains a private cloud that takes care of the normal workloads and utilize the public cloud during peak workloads and dealing with less sensitive data. Best suited for organizations dealing with data of various sensitivity and with highly variable workloads.
