Cloud ComputingWhat is it?

Cloud Computing is a shared pool of configurable computing & networking resources that has some type of ubiquitous network access

Data Center

Not all data centers are equally.

Check out the fundamentals:

The Secret To Cloud Computing . . .

A hypervisor is a piece of computer

software, firmware or

hardware that creates and runs

virtual machines on a physical

machine.

Bare Metal Examples: Oracle VM Server for SPARC, Oracle VM Server for x86, Citrix XenServer, VMware ESX/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V

• vCPUs = virtual CPUs = task-specific computing cores• RAM = computational memory = performance• Storage = size of long term data memory =

storage

vCPU StorageRAM

Often represented as vCPUs x RAM x Storage(Example verbal description: “1 times 4 times 200” = 1vCPU x 4GB RAM x

200GB storage)

2015 Adoption StatusCloud is a given; Hybrid cloud is preferred strategy.

93% of organizations surveyed are running applications or experimenting with IaaS

82 % of enterprises have a hybrid cloud

strategy, up 8% from 2014.Enterprise central IT teams take the reins to broker cloud services.

62% of enterprises report that central IT makes the majority of cloud spending decisions.

43% of IT teams are offering a self-service portal for access to cloud services, with an additional 41 percent planning or developing a portal.

Public cloud leads in enterprise adoption; Private cloud leads in workloads.

88 percent of organizations are using public cloud while 63 percent are using private cloud.

13 percent of enterprises run more than 1000 VMs in public cloud, while 22 percent of organizations run more than 1000 VMs in private cloud.

Enterprises anticipate growing public cloud workloads more quickly.

Significant headroom for more enterprise workloads to move to the cloud.

68 percent of enterprises run less than a fifth of their application portfolio in the cloud.

55 percent of enterprises report that a significant portion of their existing application portfolio

is not in cloud, but is built with cloud-friendly architectures.

What is Internet of Things (IoT)?

IoT is not necessarily new . . . New terminology for evolving ecosystem Basic technologies have been around for 20 years Just now becoming cost effective to begin to

deliver everywhere Driven by low cost semiconductor system in a

package / system on chip technologies Compute, memory and network costs at inflection

Summary Value propositions are real Homework is required to get the best deal Use standard financial modeling to understand the

value to your business Watch for hidden fees or other ‘gotchas’ Be mindful of risks such as security and jurisdictions Seek trusted business partners to help alleviate

implementation risks
