What is Cloud Computing

Cloud computing, often referred to as simply

the cloud, is the delivery of on-demand
computing resourceseverything from
applications to data centresover the Internet
on a pay-for-use basis.

Why go for Cloud Computing

Cloud computing can help enterprises

improve the creation and delivery of IT solutions
by allowing them to access services
more flexibly and cost-effectively.

Key benefits of Cloud Computing

Elastic resources - Scale up or down quickly and
easily to meet demand
Metered service - so you only pay for what you
use
Self service - All the IT resources you need with
self-service access

IaaS, Paas, Saas ????

IaaS
Infrastructure as a service provides companies with computing resources including
servers, networking, storage, and data centre space on a pay-per-use basis

PaaS
Platform as a service provides a cloud-based environment with everything required
to support the complete lifecycle of building and delivering web-based (cloud)
applicationswithout the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying
hardware, software, provisioning, and hosting

SaaS
Cloud-based applicationsor software as a servicerun on distant computers
in the cloud that are owned and operated by others and that connect to users
computers via the Internet and, usually, a web browser.

Types of Clouds

Private Cloud
A private cloud is infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed
internally or by a third party, and hosted either internally or externally. Private clouds can take
advantage of clouds efficiencies, while providing more control of resources and steering clear of
multi-tenancy

Public Cloud
Public clouds are owned and operated by companies that offer rapid access over a public
network to affordable computing resources. With public cloud services, users dont need to
purchase hardware, software, or supporting infrastructure, which is owned and managed by
providers

Hybrid Cloud
A hybrid cloud uses a private cloud foundation combined with the strategic integration and use of
public cloud services. The reality is a private cloud cant exist in isolation from the rest of a
companys IT resources and the public cloud. Most companies with private clouds will evolve to
manage workloads across data centers, private clouds, and public cloudsthereby creating
hybrid clouds

First steps in Cloud Computing

Build the business case
Link the Key Initiative to the overall drivers or objectives of the business. Gain support from senior business leaders and senior stakeholders. Set a
baseline for assessing the impact of the investigation. Estimate costs and resource requirements.
Develop the strategy
Align the investigation with the business strategy, and show how it can deliver business value. Show how the investigation might lead to changes that
will affect your business environment. Work with key stakeholders to identify business needs.
Assess readiness
Identify the budgetary, staffing, technology and other requirements necessary to prepare the business for the investigation. Develop a total cost of
ownership analysis framework. Review established policies for assessing risk and managing governance.
Pilot or prototype
Identify a group to pilot, or develop a prototype for the investigation. Develop and communicate detailed requirements. Manage the pilot/prototype.
Assess and communicate the results.
Gain approval
Analyze findings of the readiness assessment and pilot or prototype effort, and revise the strategy and business case accordingly. Present
of the investigation to senior stakeholders and business leaders.
