Requirements for Cloud Services

A Service Providers Perspective

Cloud Computing – What is it?

"Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on‐demand network access  to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers,  storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released  with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.” National Institute of Standards and Technology (non‐regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce) At the industry level it has, to all intents and purposes, become a catch all phrase  for the provision of hosted and outsourced IT and telecommunicaitions services on  a commercial basis.

CIO Technology Investment For 2010

Cloud computing, virtualization and Web 2.0 are lighter‐weight technologies because they  entail reduced upfront costs, increased capacity and variable cost structures. Relatively small  investments generate significant business benefits at speed.  Note: The 2010 Gartner CIO Survey results are based on the responses of approximately  1,600 CIOs, representing more than $120 billion in IT spend.

Cloud Computing Myths

Myth: Only megaproviders will win. Fact: There are diminishing returns to economies of scale, there  are many fragmented markets that have good enough scale for  smaller providers, and innovation makes provider agility a  critical offset to size. Myth: There will be a "big switch." Fact: There will be a slow migration (including development of  private cloud services), the migration will take decades, and even  then quite a bit of IT will stay in‐house; in fact, most of the  interesting stuff will be hybrid models. Myth: Cloud computing is IT commoditization. Fact: While services offered in the cloud may be commoditizing, the  usage of those services may not — new, innovative businesses, proprietary analysis of data  in the cloud, etc. — new applications matter.

Key Issues

1. What is cloud computing, and how will it 

evolve?

2. What is private cloud computing and what 

does it mean to enterprises?

3. How should enterprises build strategies for 

private cloud computing?

Evolution of Cloud Computing:

The Internet

•Web standards •Pervasive browser

Efficiency 

Technologies

•Multitenant software •Virtualization •Automation •Parallel computing

Industrialization of IT

•Standardization •Commoditization •Open source

Business Demand

• Expenses (entry and ongoing) • Speed and agility • Need for simplicity

The Evolution of the Cloud Computing Supply Chain

•Proprietary •Monolithic •High volume •Platforms •"Ecosystems" •Federation •Standards •Brokers •Low volume •Monolithic •Customized •Packaged  platforms and  add‐ons •Shared layers •Overdrafting •Hybrid and  federation Private cloud services will evolve in the same way … Build to enable this evolution! The cloud computing market will evolve in three stages …

Private Cloud Computing

Service Access Anyone Exclusive Third Party Service Control/ Ownership Users Public Cloud  Services Private Cloud  Services

Service ownership and service access 

determine whether a service is public or 

private — but there will be many 

examples in the middle.

Private Cloud Computing: 

Getting From Here to There 

• Service inventory • Service levels/requirements • Current costs for each service • Road map for each service • Evaluate and predict cloud services • Business case for private cloud service • Build: service abstraction and interface, usage metering,  and shared technology implementation

YOU ARE

Future Challenge: Managing Cloud Sourcing

Client/Server: Customer‐driven • Costs skyrocketed, little integration Dynamic Sourcing TeamLarge enterprises • New team, new skills  (business‐ and IT‐savvy) • Manages day‐to‐day sourcing  decisions Service BrokersSmall enterprises • Evolution of today's system  integrators, VARs  • Orchestrates cloud  providers to meet needs • Industry‐specific, etc. Cloud computing: Going around IT • Lots of choices, little integration, little  understanding of real service requirements • Failures will be rampant, unless IT is involved
