The Future of Cloud Computing

Public Cloud Defined

Public cloud or external cloud describes cloud computing in the traditional mainstream sense, whereby resources are dynamically provisioned on a fine-grained, self-service basis over the Internet, via web applications/web services, from an off-site third-party provider who bills on a fine-grained utility computing basis.[26]

Public Cloud

Increased Operational Efficiencies• Admin to server ratio of 1: 1,000-3,000 • On-demand provisioning • Eliminates hardware maintenance• 27 MW datacenters operated with Less than 50

people

10x efficiency in admin to server ratio

• Use what you know; Connect to what exists• Interoperable & Heterogeneous2

• Open, flexible

Economies of Scale

Worldwide datacenter investments

Right-sized Servers• Eliminates unnecessary components• Increased power efficiency • Optimized performance by workload

Reduced Infrastructure costs• Servers operate at higher temperatures• Use of free air cooling where possible• Advanced power management techniques• Eliminate chillers• Commodity hardware purchased in quantity

Server Consolidation with Virtualization

90% decrease in power

Proliferation of Web APIs fuel the popularity of a web service…increasingly the API is the service

The web has evolved to more than just a browser experience; it’s a heterogeneous mix of browser, smartphone, tablet applications and app-markets.

What’s Next For Cloud Computing

Simplifying the complexAgility and entrepreneurshipHybrid applications & premises aware systemsRide, don’t resist the wave of dataSynchronized, multi-form factor user experiences

Wrapping Up (just one more slide…)

Bet on the public cloud for new innovation and to extend what exists

Cloud computing abstracts complexity and be heterogeneous and open

There are new frontiers for the cloud to power multi-format user experiences and harness the explosion of data on the web
