Cloud Computing  Presentation Transcript

1.Cloud Computing

2.The “Cloud” = 10X Improvements

3.Ease of Use
Deploy infrastructure with a mouse or API
No cabling, screwdrivers, racking, unboxing, buying
Middle of the night
Do it yourself remotely from anywhere anytime

4.Scalability
See Ease of Use
Control your infrastructure with your app
Nothing to purchase and take delivery on
Instant

5.Risk
Nothing to buy
Cancel immediately
Change instantly, even operating systems
Throw it out
Rebuild it instantly after testing

6.Reliability
Based on enterprise grade hardware
Design for failures:
Automatically spin up replacements
Use multiple clouds

7.Cost
“Turn off the lights” = turn off servers you aren’t using
Ex:  Turn off development and test environments
Pay for only what you use
No need to buy in advance
Zero Capital Outlay
No contracts

8.“Breaking the Dam(n!)”
Colocation – 1st step to outsourcing
Managed Hosting – dedicated servers managed by 3rd party take some pain away
Cloud Hosting – Lower cost, easier, lower risk, more reliable

9.Traditional Hosting Costs Continue to Grow
High CapEx
Low facility asset utilization (55%)
High Depreciation (42-50%)
Power/Cooling costs > Server Costs
Not “Green”
30% hardware obsolescence

10.Trending Away from the “Pain”

11.Forrester Research
“A pool of abstracted, highly scalable, and managed compute infrastructure capable of hosting end-customer applications and billed by consumption1”
 

12.Different than SaaS
Prescripted & Abstracted Infrastructure
Fully Virtualized
Dynamic Infrastructure Software
Pay by Consumption
Free of Long-Term Contracts
Application and OS Independent
Free of Software or Hardware Installation
“Cloud computing has all the earmarks of being a potential disruptive innovation that all infrastructure and operations professionals should heed.”

13.Other Definitions
“Cloud computing is an emerging approach to shared infrastructure in which large pools of systems are linked together to provide IT services.” – IBM press release on “Blue Cloud”
“…a hosted infrastructure model that delivers abstracted IT resources over the Internet” – Thomas Weisel Partners LLC from “Into the Clouds: Leveraging  Data Centers and the Road to Cloud Computing”
“Cloud computing describes a systems architecture. Period. This particular architecture assumes nothing about the physical location, internal composition or ownership of its component parts.” – James Urquhart blog post

14.Multiple Graphic Descriptions of the “Cloud”

15.SaaS
Software as a Service
Storage as a Service
PaaS – Platform as a Service
IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service

16.Colo vs. Managed vs. Cloud Hosting

17.Hosting Industry Ripe for Change
Technology has evolved
People demand more control
Instant gratification
In-house too costly from CapEx and Human Capital
Colocation for those who want to be physically there
Managed is not dynamic enough
Cloud Computing -“Enabling Technology” to move from Traditional Hosting to Cloud Hosting

18.The Cloud’s “Snowball Effect”
Maturation of Virtualization Technology
Virtualization enables Compute Clouds
Compute Clouds create demand for Storage Clouds
Storage + Compute Clouds create Cloud Infrastructure
Cloud Infrastructure enables Cloud Platforms & Applications
Multiple Cloud types lead to Cloud Aggregators
Niche requirements enable Cloud Extenders

19.The “Cloud Pyramid”
Build upon a foundation
Layers equate structure
Building blocks: Infrastructure, Platforms, Applications
Breadth vs. Niche

20.1000’s of Cloud Applications currently
Handful of Cloud Platforms
Elite group of Cloud Infrastructure providers

21.… virtualized compute power and storage delivered via platform-agnostic infrastructures of abstracted hardware and software accessed over the Internet. These shared, on-demand IT resources, are created and disposed of efficiently, are dynamically scalable through a variety of programmatic interfaces and are billed variably based on measurable usage.

22.Cloud “Applications”
SaaS resides here
Most common Cloud / Many providers of different services
Examples: SalesForce, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Quicken Online
Advantages: Free, Easy, Consumer Adoption
Disadvantages: Limited functionality, no control or access to underlying technology

23.Cloud “Platforms”
“Containers”
“Closed” environments
Examples: Google App Engine, Heroku, Mosso, Engine Yard, Joyent or Force.com (SalesForce Dev Platform)
Advantages: Good for developers, more control than “Application” Clouds, tightly configured
Disadvantages: Restricted to what is available, other dependencies

24.Cloud “Infrastructure”
Provide “Compute” and “Storage” clouds
Virtualization layers (hardware/software)
Examples: Amazon EC2, GoGrid, Amazon S3, Nirvanix, Linode
Advantages: Full control of environments and infrastructure
Disadvantages: premium price point, limited competition

25.Cloud “Extenders” (Wild Card)
Provides extension to Cloud Infrastructure and Platforms with basic functionality
Examples: Amazon SimpleDB, Amazon SQS, Google BigTable
Advantages: Extends functionality of Compute & Storage Clouds to integrate with legacy system or other clouds
Disadvantages: Sometimes requires use of specific Platforms or Infrastructure

26.Sits on top of various Cloud Infrastructures for management
Examples: RightScale, Appistry
Advantages: Provides more options for Cloud environments
Disadvantages: Dependent on Cloud Providers

27.The NEW “Cloud Pyramid”

28.Hosting Heads to the Clouds
