The Big Switch

Rewiring the world- From generators to the power grid…- From private hardware, to online virtual

computing

Cloud Computing

New business models, new innovations

- A happy convergence of:o Open source technologieso Bandwidth (the internet and lots of it!)o Virtualization (virtual servers)o Social media

Eg: Groupon, Facebook, Crowdsourcing, Zynga

Defining the Cloud

Three common cloud terms- SaaS – Software as a Service- PaaS – Platform as a Service- IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service

IaaS makes PaaS and SaaS possible!

Defining the Cloud

How do you benefit from cloud computing?- Self service compute and storage over the internet- Scalable on demand- Rapid provisioning, instantly available, swipe your

credit card- Pay only for what you use- Minimal provider contact- Access to a large pool of compute resources- Opex vs. Capex

What is Cloud Storage?

The biggest growth area in cloud- Data storage- Business archiving, document sharing, remote

access, backup- Strong consumer demand to store music/video/docs

in the cloud

Independent to cloud computing- No need to create virtual machines to access- Simple access-anywhere data storage in the cloud

Eg: Dropbox, Oxygen Cloud, AWS S3, Ninefold cloud storage

Data Jurisdiction

The complexities of offshore clouds- Continues to be a barrier to cloud adoption- Risk can be reduced with careful planning- Different jurisdictions have conflicting data

privacy laws- Offshore hosting can multiply the risk of

breaching one or more of these laws- Three factors involved

- The location of the data centre- The location of your business- The location of the provider’s headquarters

Ninefold – About Us

Just who is Ninefold anyway?- Australian self-managed public cloud- Enterprise grade infrastructure backed by Macquarie

Telecom- Pay only for what you use; swipe and go with a credit

card- Targeting anyone requiring a self-managed cloud

(cloud forward businesses)- Free multi channel support (Twitter, phone, email, chat)- Cloud storage (AWS S3 alternative), first in Australia- Low latency (faster speeds) and local data residency

are key differentiators
