• When deciding on the new technology, we are concerned about

Lack of trained resources Lack of expertise Cost! Expansion

• “Success Disaster”

• More then 70% is spent on maintaining current IT infrastructures versus adding new capabilities.

• In distributed computing environments, up to 85% of computing capacity sits idle.

• The New York Times, for example, used Amazon Web Services (EC2 and S3) to generate PDFs of 11 million articles in the paper's archives in less than 24 hours using 100 instances of EC2, instead of buying hardware for the project, Derek Gottfrid senior software architect for the Times, wrote in his blog

• They include: IBM, Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft for example.

• Horizontal Services Provide Platform for development of new services.

• Infrastructure Services Provide hardware (computing) services.

• Functional Services Provide functionality as services. E.g SalesForce and

• Live Services: A way to access the 450 Million Microsoft user ‘s data!.

• Mesh Services: Enables synchronizing user’s data and extending applications across multiple devices.

User services provide facilities for managing all aspects of a user’s Mesh (devices, applications, and data) and enabling sharing of those resources across multiple users.

Device services provide facilities for managing the collection of heterogeneous devices within a user’s Mesh, including relationships, status, and security services.

Application Management services facilitate the configuration; deployment and versioning of applications which utilize the Live Framework including Web-enabled Mesh Applications.

Synchronization services as it ensures the synchronization of data and metadata between applications, devices, and the cloud

• Hosts the web application

• Provides detailed analysis of application workings

• Caters storage requirements.

• With SDS, you can easily provision and deploy relational database solutions to the cloud, and take advantage of a globally distributed data center that provides availability, scalability, and security with the benefits of built-in data protection, self-healing and disaster recovery.
