Agenda

• Introduction

• Open Standards and Cloud

• Interopability in the Public Cloud

• Interopability in the Private Cloud

• Open Data

• Open Source and Cloud

• Conclusion

DATACENTER EVOLUTION: CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS

• Journey to the Cloud is Unique and

Hybrid: • Traditional Data center: Continue Virtualization

Investments

• Evolve to a Private Cloud infrastructure

• Consuming Public Cloud Services: IaaS, PaaS and

SaaS

• Next-Gen Datacenter = Federated cloud

provider and broker that combines its own

private cloud services with those of other

public cloud providers

Open Cloud

• Reduce cloud vendor lock-in

• Development of standards for cloud computing and frameworks for interoperating between clouds

• Interoperability and Portability

Open Standards

• Applications must be able to communicate and interoperate

• Open Standards are the foundation for this

• Open Standards are created through open processes and are generally available

• Standards means Substitutability, ergo reduces Lock-In!

Cloud Standard Committees

• Re-use of existing Open Standards

• Cloud Security Alliance

• DTMF: Virtualization and Management

• OASIS: Web-Services and Identity in the Cloud

• SNIA: Cloud Storage management

• TM Forum: Self-service and Billing

• UCI Forum: Unified Communications Interop (On-premise and Cloud)

Interoperability in the Private Cloud

OPTIMIZE SERVICE DELIVERY FOR HETEROGENEOUS DATACENTERS

Interoperability in the Private Cloud

• Hyper-V integration of VMWare and XEN images

• Supported Hyper-V virtualization of Linux: RHEL, SUSE, and CentOS

• Management of heterogeneous envs: eg. VMWare and XEN

• Datacenter Automation: Integration of DC mngt tools (IBM, HP, BMC, ...)

• Application Server Virtualization

Open Data (1)

“We don’t have better algorithms than anyone else. We just have

more data.”

Peter Norvig, Chief Scientist, Google

(Thx to Tim O’Reilly)

Open Data (2)

• Started of in Open Government

• What is Open Data? (ongoing work) Data Must Be Accessible

Data Formats Must Be Non-Proprietary

• Microsoft and Open Data: The Open Data Web Protocol

(www.odata.org)

Open Government Data Initiative

Open Government Data Initiative

Open Source (1)

What is Open Source? (http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd) • A community of developers (consensus-driven projects) • Distribute binaries and source code • Freely modifiable and re-distributable • Governed by a license (the “reference” GNU GPL)

Open Source (2)

Three Open Source Models:

1. Free Software

Original view: Free as in “Free Speech”

2. Commercial Open Source, Community-driven

e.g. Linux Foundation, Drupal/Acquia, Java

3. Commercial Open Source, Vendor-driven e.g. OpenOffice, Alfresco, LifeRay, MySQL, Google Android & Chrome, etc.

Open Source (3)

Microsoft participates significantly in OSS projects:

• +350000 open source apps run on Windows

• MSFT Open Source Technology Center

• PHP community

• Apache foundation

• Linux foundation

• Eclipse foundation

• Codeplex foundation (www.codeplex.org; +13000 projects)

To drive the Interoperability value proposition

Conclusion

• Cloud Standardization started, but complex

• Microsoft Strategy: Interopability and Portability is a reality today by re-using existing open standards and vendor collaboration (eg. via OSS projects)
