What Is Cloud Computing?

The on-demand delivery of IT

resources via the Internet with

pay-as-you-go pricing

(4)

Why Does the Cloud Matter?

Pave the Way for Innovation

It offers:

• Disruptive innovation

• Agility

• Twenty-first century capability

• New skills

• Cost savings

4

Make the World a Better Place

It enables:

• World-changing projects

• Economic development

• Citizen services and engagement

(5)

Why Are Customers Adopting Cloud Computing?

5

Seven main benefits experienced by customers in virtually every industry

1. It replaces up-front capital expense with low variable cost.

2. It offers lower variable costs than companies can achieve

themselves.

3. It provides pricing-model choice to support variable and stable workloads.

4. It drives down IT labor costs, both up-front and ongoing.

5. It offers a premium security spec at non-premium prices.

6. It supports highly available workloads for a fraction of the cost.

7. It saves you more money as you grow bigger.

Replace up-front capital expense with

low variable cost

2

Economies of scale allow us to continually lower costs

3

Pricing-model choice supports variable and

stable workloads

4

Save more money as you expand

Average of 400 servers replaced per customer

49 price reductions since 2006 Purchasing options: • On-demand • Reserved • Spot

Increase savings through:

• Tiered pricing

• Volume discounts

• Custom pricing

Security and

Compliance are

Becoming Reasons

(12)

Economies of Scale Apply to Security and Compliance

There is nothing better for the entire customer community than an exacting subset of customers.

Tough scrutiny, market-leading capabilities, constant improvements, and a world-class AWS security team benefit the whole client

community.

Global Impact Initiatives for Science

AWS Research Grants AWS Hosted Public Datasets AWS SciCo Team

17

• Initiate and support development of cloud-enabled technologies

• Typically one-off grants of AWS resources like EC2 (compute) or S3 and EBS (storage) or more exotic like Amazon Kinesis and Twitter feeds

• Frequently result in reusable resources, like AMIs or open data, which we strongly encourage

• Lowers the risk to try the cloud

• Large and globally significant datasets hosted and paid for by AWS for community use

• Data quickly and easily processed with elastic computing resources in the surrounding cloud

• Aims to more quickly enable increased innovation

• Datasets provided in partnership with content owners who curate the data

• Dedicated team focusing on scientific computing and research workloads

• Globally focused and engaged in big science projects like the SKA

• Leveraging AWS resources worldwide

• Ensuring the cloud is able to make a disruptive impact on science

(18)

Solution / Use Cases on AWS

• Development and testing

• Enterprise applications

• Big data and high-performance

computing (HPC)

• Storage, backup, and archiving

• Disaster recovery

• Web, mobile, and social apps

• Virtual desktops

• Data center migrations

(19)

Strategy 1: Cloud for Development and

Test Environments

ArcGIS 19 • Expanded data storage quickly • Achieved 100% reliability over 18 months • Saved costs Oracle Enterprise Applications • Reduced test environment costs Large Scale Education Application • Performed aggressive testing to prepare for more than 18 million youth coding on their website in a week, with a peak load of 330,000 concurrent users

(20)

Strategy 2: Build New Apps in the Cloud

• Faster to build

• Easier to manage

• Less expensive

to run

• Distributed

architectures for

high availability

large, complex datasets

from projects such as

robotic articulation

calculations and

exploration of the Arctic

climate, on-demand,

across the globe.
