Evolutionary Meaning

John McCarthy 1960s – “ Computation may

someday be organized as a public utility”

Metaphor

Internet

Today – Cloud Computing

Wide Spread Adoption

Virtualization SOA

Autonomic & Utility Computing

Details Abstracted from End User – No need

for expertise or control over technology or

infrastructure that supports them

Cloud Computing in a Nutshell

Cloud Computing is the transformation

of computer hardware, software and

networks into a Utility just like the your

Electric Company, Water Company, or

Gas Company.

Defining the Cloud

"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. This cloud

model promotes availability.

Defining the Cloud

Service Models

Deployment Models

The 2011 Gartner Hype Cycle Report

"Gartner predicts that the most transformational

technologies included in the Hype Cycle will be the

following: Virtualization, Big Data, Cloud Advertising,

Cloud Computing, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS),

Public Cloud Computing, and Hybrid Cloud

Computing.“

Cloud is Here & Now

“Annually Microsoft invests approximately 9 Billion dollars in R&D.

As of 2012, 95% of Microsoft's 40,000 engineers are working on new

cloud applications and new cloud services.

Technology leaders like Microsoft do not invest this heavily on

technology that is a fad or has no real chance of succeeding.”

“The Cloud is fast changing the landscape of information technology

and how businesses view and utilize IT resources”

Business Benefits of the Cloud

Top five advantages of

cloud computing:

1.

Pay only for what you use

2.

Easy/fast deployment to end

users

3.

Monthly payments

4.

Encourages standard

systems

5.

Requires less in-house staff,

Chief Objections to the Cloud

Top Objections to the

Cloud:

1.

Compliance Issues

2.

Security

What’s the Real Issue?

Underlying Issues:

1.

Fear

2.

Need to Own Stuff

3.

Control

4.

Change

The Microsoft View of

What is the cloud?

What is the cloud?

An approach to

computing that’s about

internet scale

and connecting to a

variety of devices and

endpoints

Cloud Computing Patterns

“Unpredictable

Bursting“

Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand Sudden spike impacts performance Can’t over provision for extreme cases

C o m p u t e Time Average Usage

“Predictable Bursting“

Services with micro seasonality trends Peaks due to periodic increased demand IT complexity and wasted capacity

Cloud Computing Patterns

“On and Off “

On and off workloads (e.g. batch job) Over provisioned capacity is wasted Time to market can be cumbersome

Average Usage C o m p u t e Time

“Growing Fast“

Successful services needs to grow/scale Keeping up with growth is big IT

challenge
