CIOs are Embracing Cloud Computing
• Following divestiture from Ford, JLR
had 18Tb of emails to extract from
Ford’s Microsoft Exchange Server
• JLR’s CIO saw this as an opportunity
to do things differently
• Adoption of cloud based applications
has helped to simplify their ICT/B2B
infrastructure
"The strategy will be one of
simplification, standardisation
and modernisation. Where I can
deem services and technology
as being commodity I will seek
to externalise, outsource or
place them in the cloud."
Jeremy Vincent, CIO JLR

Definition of Cloud Computing
A standardised IT capability (services, software or infrastructure) delivered via internet technologies in a pay-per-use, self-service way
A style of computing where massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided “as a service” using internet technologies to multiple external customers
Cloud services are shared services, under virtualised management, accessible over the internet

Characteristics of a Cloud Environment
• Dynamic- One of the keys to
cloud computing is on-demand
provisioning
• Massively scalable- The service
must react immediately to your
needs
• Multi-tenant- Cloud computing,
by its nature, delivers shared
services
Slide 9 | © 2013 GXS, Inc.
Characteristics of a Cloud Environment
• Self-service - As a user, you can
use the service as you require
• Per-usage based pricing model -
You should only ever pay for the
amount of service you consume
• IP-based architecture - Cloud
architectures are based on
virtualised, internet based
technologies

Types of Cloud
• Public Cloud – Available to the general
public or large industry group and is owned
by an organisation selling cloud services
• Community Cloud – Shared by several
organisations and supports a specific
community that has shared concerns
• Private Cloud – Operated solely for an
organisation or company
• Hybrid Cloud – Combination of two of the
above, they remain unique entities but are
bound together by standardised
technologies
