Information technology assets are

more private, more secure – SAFER– in a Cloud than they are in a

traditional data center.

Cloud Computing – The Present

Cloud Computing in a Word

SCALABILITY!

What is Cloud Computing?

Computing Services on Demand

Massively scalable IT “as a service”

End User Has No “Need to Know” Underlying Technology

Economics

Only pay for what is consumed

Share hardware among users

Services

Web applications

Computing

Storage

Specialized services

(e.g. PBX, ERP, accounting, desktop, etc.)

5


Turning CapEx into OpEx?????

$$$ = $$$

6


Traditional Web Application

Code + database + content

firewalls, load balancers, servers, SAN

Linux, Apache, JBoss, MySQL,

monitoring, security, backup…

Same Application on an AppLogic Grid

same code + database + content

disposable infrastructure

US and other patents pending

Cloud Computing Platform

Reducing CapEx

7


Scalable shared deployment platform

Different applications served from the same platform

Handles hardware failures w/o data loss

Monitoring, backup/snapshots, metering

Single management view

Visual AJAX interface

hardware, applications

and users


Liberates app developers

Unburdens DC operations

Reducing OpEx

8


Cloud Computing is not a Substitute

for Good Architecture

Cloud Computing Done Right

Reduces CapEx AND OpEx

= $$$$$

9


And That is Icing on the Cake

Implementation/Deployment an

Order of Magnitude Faster!

10


Server Array

Each server provides computing, storage or both

Controller

User Interface

WAN

Commodity Servers with Disks + Gigabit Ethernet

Cloud Computing Architecture Example

11


116 HP Proliant DL145-G3, 2x Dual Core Opteron (2.4 GHz), 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD

464 CPU cores, ~1 TB RAM, 58 TB Storage

Score 42,540 on UnixBench WHT 4.1 benchmark, linear scaling of all scores

Achieving Performance w/o Diminishing Returns

The Cloud Behind the Firewall

Your data center as a metered utility

– Avoid over-provisioning by enabling “bursting” into available

resources only when needed

Connecting external clouds to your data center

– Capacity planning for web-based services

Geographic distribution of resources in multiple data centers

– Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity

15

Protecting Your Information Technology Assets

Security and Privacy

16


Your IT Assets in a Traditional Data Center

Your IT Assets in a Cloud

So, If you have this .....

..... and you have this .....

20


..... do you really need disaster

recovery as we know it today?

DR Becomes Inherent in Our

Information Technology

Cloud Computing – The Near Future


Cloud Computing with an Infrastructure Delivery Network

Cloud Computing – The Future

Web Apps DC as Utility New Apps Legacy Apps Data Storage

in the

Cloud

Evolution of Cloud Computing in the Data Center

23

Will the Traditional Data

Center Disappear?

Cloud Computing – The Future

24

Cloud Computing is NOT the Future of Information Technology

25


Cloud Computing IS the Future –

PERIOD!

IT is a Subset of Cloud Computing

IT, Web Services, storage and things we aren't even

thinking of yet, will be in The Cloud

26



PERIOD!




Cloud Computing is

27



PERIOD!




Cloud Computing is

the Next Great Utility
