A Major Reason Why We Are Here Today

Gartner definition of cloud computing
• Gartner defines cloud computing as "a style of computing where massively scalable IT-enabled capabilities are delivered 'as a service' to external customers using Internet technologies."
as a concept of delivering services as opposed to components
6
• as a concept of delivering services as opposed to components
• defined and measured in terms of a service with associated service-level requirements.
• payment based on usage, not on physical assets. The payment can be subsidized (for example, by advertising) or paid directly by the customer.
Gartner definition of cloud computing
Key element is massive scalability. Economies of scale reduce the cost of the service. Implicit in the idea of scalability is flexibility and low barriers to entry for customers.
standards that are pervasive, accessible and visible in a global sense are used
7
used
services are provided to multiple external customers, leveraging shared resources to increase the economies of scale.
Gartner has identified the "cloud" as a purely abstract concept, originating in the presentation representations of the Internet and networks for many years. The cloud comes into existence when one or more cloud services is delivered to one or more customers.
Gartner - definition of a cloud communications service provider
An entity that leverages the cloud environment to provide telecommunication and other services

Key area for Cloud activity
What is Cloud Storage?
The use of the term cloud in describing these new models arose from architecture drawings that typically used a cloud as the dominant networking icon.
9
The cloud conceptually represented any to any connectivity in a network, but also an abstraction of concerns such the actual connectivity and the services running in the network that accomplish that connectivity with little manual intervention.

IT as a Service (ITaaS)
* Private Internal Clouds
What are the Analysts saying?
“Cloud is a way of using technology, not a technology in itself – it's a self-service, on-demand pay-per-use model. Consolidation, virtualization and automation strategies will be the catalysts behind Cloud adoption.”
–The 451 Group “Consumer and business products, services

–The 451 Group “Consumer and business products, services and solutions delivered and consumed in real-time over the Internet”
– IDC
Cloud computing allows executives to rethink IT architecture. By “architecture,” we mean how IT resources are organised. At the highest level, we see a transformation from the “inside-out” architecture of today, which finds it challenging to co-ordinate complex transactions across multiple independent parties, to an
“outside-in” approach - FT 10.02.11
Cloud Storage Defined
This abstraction of complexity and promotion of simplicity is what primarily constitutes a cloud of resources, regardless of type.
An important part of the cloud model in general is the concept of a pool of resources that is drawn from upon demand in small increments (smaller than what you would typically purchase by buying equipment).
The recent innovation that has made this possible is virtualization.
13
The recent innovation that has made this possible is virtualization.
Thus cloud storage is simply the delivery of virtualized storage on demand. The formal term we proposed for this is Data Storage as a Service (DaaS).
Delivery over a network of appropriately configured virtual storage and related data services, based on a request for a given service level. Typically, DaaS hides limits to scalability, is either self-provisioned or provisionless and is billed based on consumption

Some Basic Cloud Storage Attributes
Pay as you go/billing actual usage
Self service provisioning
Scalable, Elastic

Deduped/compressed/Snapshots/Cloning
Rich application interfaces
Simplicity of use/management
No need for consumers to directly manage their own storage resource
By offloading the Storage Management, data owners can focus more on the management of data requirements ...
Typical Cloud User Scenarios
Escalating Amount of Data, becoming more expensive to manageIs that old data worth keeping in my aging infrastructure?
Meet governance needsWho is in charge of deleting old data, finding it again?Archiving/compliance responsibility ?
15
New projects with a desire not to have isolated local storageDo they already go around existing storage IT practices?
Storage of important dataHow do you make sure its requirements are being met?
Storage for new Cloud Computing projectsWhere does the data live long term?ILM issues ?
Cloud use case examples
Offerings in the Data Storage as a Service (DaaS) space are increasing in capabilitiesAdditional service levels beyond “Best Effort” storageLocal appliances that “wrap” cloud storage for legacy applicationsCloud Storage offerings that layer onto best effort services
16
Cloud Storage offerings that layer onto best effort services
These offerings go beyond merely storing the data, and start to account for data with differing requirementsThere is a danger that the resulting complexity may cause the simplicity of cloud storage to be lostThere is an increasing “exit cost” to move from one provider to another
Other open questions about Clouds
Security & Privacy – What can the IT industry expect?
Trusting Service Providers – Are SLAs the only measurements?
Managing and/or using Cloud services across different geographies – what are the risks and constraints? Eg UK Government data ?
What are the legal and regulatory challenges with Clouds

What are the legal and regulatory challenges with Clouds
Can Cloud be specific to Industry Verticals?
How do I combine Services together?
Is Internet the Cloud bottleneck? What about Cloud network services?
How do I transform my IT to leverage or perform in a Cloud-like fashion?
What about DR/BC ?

Case study - Rearden
Rearden Commerce sells itself as a “personal travel assistant” to more than 7,000 companies, 160,000 merchants, and millions of users.
Rearden orchestrates a large number of partners to help corporate “road
Although a few companies such as Rearden are working through these issues in such specific markets as travel, they are building a critical mass of participants and are becoming the first wave of cloud providers driving architectural innovations.

of partners to help corporate “road warriors” manage their busy lives.
The challenge for its cloud-based architecture is to facilitate multi-party transactions – such as travel itineraries with multiple flights, car rentals, hotel stays and restaurant reservations. A change to any one segment, such as a flight delay, might require a chain reaction of compensating actions.
There is a potential for much more disruption ahead, as a host of companies, mainly in Asia, begin to adopt these architectures to pioneer more scalable network-based businesses.
Innovative companies in demanding global industries – consumer electronics, motorcycles, and clothing, for example –are increasingly playing an “orchestrator” role to harness the outside-in way of thinking.
Case study - T-Systems
Business ChallengeDeliver SAP and other applications as cloud-based services to gain a competitive advantage in flexibility, reliability and cost-effectiveness1.5m seats, 20TB largest SAP db, upto 25k concurrent users per clientTo deliver cloud Services at up to 30% Less than On-Premises IT
IT ChallengeOffer higher IT service levels at lower cost

Offer higher IT service levels at lower costSolution
Standardize on and maximize automation of virtualized servers and storage.
BenefitsUp to 30% lower costs than on-premises hosting8-hour time to value to deploy SAP vs. 6 to 9 weeks Nondisruptive upgrades eliminate planned storage downtimeStorage administration productivity more than doubledDisaster recovery services at 30% premium, down from 200%
Case study – T systems
IT resources on demand
Customers no longer have to invest in infrastructure and applications
Pay only for what they actually use. T-Systems is Deutsche Telekom’s corporate customer unit.
Using a worldwide infrastructure of computer centers and networks, T-Systems operates Information and Communications Technology (ICT) systems for multinational groups and public institutions
21
With a workforce of more than 46,000 employees and 80 data centers worldwide, T-Systems generated revenues of €11 billion (U.S.$15 billion) in 2008.
T-Systems needs to continuously enhance its competitive edge.
Answer from T-Systems is Dynamic Services, designed to provide customers with market-leading cost-efficiency, flexibility, and reliability.
Goal is higher IT service levels at a lower cost. The customer orders the CPU power plus memory plus storage that it needs and pays only for what it uses. There are several models of Dynamic Services that the customer can choose from.
IAAS - Lotus Notes/Domino, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Web apps, or mainframe capacity
T-Systems now manages over 1.5 million SAP seats and is a leader in its category.
Case study – T systems
Benefits:
According to the business consultants at Gartner, companies using T-Systems Dynamic Services can lower their IT costs by up to 30%.
Configuring SAP using the T-Systems Intranet is as easy as configuring a car on the Internet. The Application Manager answers a few questions on the T-Systems Dynamic Services portal and eight hours later, a customized SAP system is ready for log-in.

Just five years ago in the old business model deploying a SAP solution for a customer took 15 days, now it’s 1 day to scale up or down the storage
The team has clustered systems and switches applications between them so that maintenance and upgrades are nondisruptive and transparent to customers. T-Systems uses synchronous mirroring between data centers. This enables a recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes and a recovery point objective (RPO) of zero. (DR fast reliable failover)
Customer SLAs with $2m penalties per month
In a legacy data center model, customers would pay two to three times the cost of a server to cover complex clustering architecture. But with Dynamic Services, disaster recovery protection for servers and storage is available for just a 30% premium over the cost of a server, instead of 200% to 300%. Almost all customers choose it for their critical applications.
T-System’s ratio of terabytes per storage administrator has at least doubled since over the last four years.
