Private Cloud

“The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an organization. It may be managed by the organization or a third party and may

exist on premise or off premise.”

Private Cloud


� Single-tenant

� Dedicated infrastructure

� On-premise or hosted

Community Cloud

“The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g.,

mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a

third party and may exist on premise or off premise.”


� Multi-tenant

� Shared infrastructure

� On-premise or hosted

Community Cloud

Public Cloud

“The cloud infrastructure is made available to the general public or a large industry group and is owned by an organization selling cloud

services.”

Public Cloud


� Massive multi-tenancy

� Internet-based

� Discrete, non-core apps

Hybrid Cloud

“The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are

bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for

load-balancing between clouds).

Explosive Data Growth

IDC Says amount of managed data is going to GROW. A lot!

•Last year Data grew by 62% to 800,000PB

•This year it should exceed 1,200,000PB (1.2ZB)

•By 2020, it will grow 44x to 35ZB (35 trillion GB)•Zettabyte = 1million PB

Why Cloud?

“The Federal Government’s current Information Technology (IT) environment is characterized by low asset utilization, a

fragmented demand for resources, duplicative systems, environments which are difficult to manage, and long

procurement lead times. These inefficiencies negatively impact the Federal Government’s ability to serve the

American public.


American public.

Cloud computing has the potential to play a major part in addressing these inefficiencies and improving government

service delivery. The cloud computing model can significantly help agencies grappling with the need to

provide highly reliable, innovative services quickly despite resource constraints.”

What is a Storage Service?

� A Storage Service represents a set of services a subscriber can choose from− Implemented as Protection Policy, Provisioning Policy,

Resource Pool and Template− Storage services are defined by the provider− SLAs exposed to orchestration and management tools as

APIs


APIs− Aligned with technical service catalog (ITIL v3)

� Operationalize storage for the dynamic data center− Simplify the automation of storage provisioning and

protection− Higher-level abstraction encapsulate implementation
