What is “the cloud”?

5www.us.sogeti.comLocal Touch – Global Reach

What is cloud - Definitions

Research firm IDC describes cloud computing as "an emerging IT development, deployment and delivery model, enabling real-time delivery of products, services and solutions over the Internet.“

Analyst firm Gartner defines the new technology pitch phrase as "a style of computing where scalable and elastic IT enabled capabilities are provided 'as a service' to external customers using Internet technologies."

Analyst firm THINKstrategies defines cloud computing as “a set of web-based tools and services, which permit users to acquire computing resources and development capabilities to build or support applications, or perform specific IT functions on a pay-as-you-go basis.”

What is cloud - Simplified

Cloud Computing is a pay-per-use model for enabling available, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction

National Institute of Standards and Technology

Put another way…

Cloud Computing is about making things you care about into

things you don’t.

Essential Characteristics• On demand self-service• Access Anywhere• Rapid elasticity• Measured Service

When have I found a provider?

Its like picking a bank• You’re trusting your IP to them

• What level of security do they have?

• Do they have the services you need?

• What about fees?

What about SLA’s?• What is it worth to you?

Is my team ready?

Change is scary• Jobs change, not necessarily go away

• Different than what we’re used too

Temper Expectations• Grass isn’t always greener

• Right tool for the right job
