REASONS

FOR EVOLUTIONIncreasing dependence ofbusiness processes andfunctions on IT.

Service providers have

responded to this but with everevolving offering portfolios andservice models.

Virtualization and Datacenter

Automation have spurred thedevelopment of new and moreflexible ways of managing andconsuming IT resources

DEFINING

CLOUD COMPUTINGCloud computing is an emerging deployment & procurementmodel that facilitates real-time delivery and consumptionof cloud based IT infrastructure, networking, andapplication services over the Internet and/or private IPnetworks.

Cloud computing architectures

leverage virtualization,service automation and orchestration,&multitenancy

to create unified, scalable pools of hardware, software,and network resources to enable dynamic, on-demanddelivery of IT and application functionality

FEATURES

OF IAASIt is an evolution of market-testedmanaged hosting and datacentercollocation solutions that packageaccess to facilities, hardware/software, networking technology,

andsupport as remotely delivered,off-premises services.

All forms of IaaS are multitenant(i.e. shared infrastructure) solutions.

IaaS solutions (both public andprivate) can be either "bare-metal"application containers or integratedvirtual private datacenter resources.



7/16

IAAS:

MULTIDIMENSIONAL BENEFITS

FIANANCIAL BENEFITS No need for additional capital expenditure.

More tightly aligns utilization with operational cost.

INCREASED BUSINESS AGILITY IaaS also helps to simplify IT operations by enabling

consistent IT implementation across all corporatelocations.

IaaS' ability to speed up time to market (and time torevenue)



8/16

CONTINUED.

TECHNOLOGY FRONT: Rapid deployment capabilities and elasticity/scalability.

IaaS adoption frees IT staff to concentrate on strategicbusiness-enabling projects.

Elimination of lengthy IT procurement and implementationcycles, as well as on-demand access to IT resources.

IaaS solutions allow IT users to configure resourcesprecisely tailored to specific computing tasks,

IT departments, no longer constrained by limited (or lacking)infrastructure resources

Serves broader enterprise IT objectives related todatacenter consolidation and centralization of IT systems.

CASES SHOWING

IAAS BENEFITSShort-term or seasonal computing requirements.

Unexpected, unpredictable peak loads.

Rapidly expanding storage requirements.

New application road testing.

Datacenter capacity constraints.

Business continuity/disaster recovery.

RIGHT FOR YOU ??

New service delivery models take time to gain acceptance,and there are often technological and organizationalinhibitors to adoption.

Some of these concerns can be addressed through careful

assessment of providers' IaaS service functionality.All types of companies enterprises, SMBs, and "cloud-native" start-ups can leverage IaaS for some aspect oftheir IT infrastructures.

However, the cloud sourcing model may not be appropriatefor every application or business process.



12/16

CONTINUE.

When exploring IaaS options, businesses need to consider

the type of service provider they want to work with,&,

the type of service being offered.

PURE CLOUD SERVICE

BUSINESS CLASS CLOUD SERVICEService provider due diligence should involve evaluation ofproviders platform testing, upgrade, maintenance, andtroubleshooting processes, as well as government and

industry compliance certifications.



13/16

CONCLUSION &

RECOMMENDATIONS

IaaS provides enterprises with simplified, performance-oriented IT infrastructure solutions with enhancedscalability and self-service/on-demand features.

Cloud computing is about evolution. IaaS solutionsrepresent an aggregation of technological innovationsimplemented as an economically efficient, scale-orientedservice delivery model.

Service providers can help businesses with concerns about

shared-tenant, offsite resources reap the benefits of"cloud sourcing" in ways that position IaaS as more than

just servers and storage "out there" in the cloud.



14/16

CONTINUED.IaaS is the next evolution of managed hosting, providing

dynamic sourcing elements that accommodate variabledemand at variable cost.

Businesses need to take a life-cycle approach to theirIT-related "build versus buy" decisions for IaaS andtraditional services.
