What is Cloud Computing?
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud is simply a metaphor for
the internet
Users do not have or need
knowledge, control, ownership in
the computer infrastructure
Users simply rent or access the
software, paying only for what they
use
Simple Introduction to Cloud
Computing
Potential Issues
Potential Issues
Data residency time delay between data being requested
and delivered
Security and confidentiality of data being stored outside the
company
Business buy-in; convincing companies of the infrastructure
and reliability
Functionality
Functionality
Cloud computing is an emerging technology that is
revolutionizing IT infrastructures and flexibility, and software
as a service (SaaS)
During this economic time of recession, there are huge cost-
reduction pressures and cloud computing allows businesses
to do just that by tapping into cloud computing platforms on
a pay-as-you-go basis
Customer retention is vital, especially today in our economy.

Software and applications are extremely costly. With cloud,
you rent so the heavy investment is forgone
Cloud computing is a set of technologies and business
practices that enable companies of all sizes to build, deploy,
monitor and scale applications using resources accessed over
the internet

Cloud computing is replacing large Corporate Data
Centers and unnecessary, expensive private server
infrastructure.
Web 2.0, SaaS, Enterprise and government users are
adopting cloud computing because it eliminates capital
investment in hardware and facilities as well as reduces
operations labor

Google 101
Network made up of millions of cheap servers, that would store staggering
amounts of data, including numerous copies of the world wide web
Makes search faster, helping ferret out answers to billions of queries in a
fraction of a second
Google has invested more than $2 billion a year in data
centers for cloud computing.
By far the leader in the technology
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Amazon EC2
web service interface that provides resizable computing capacityin a cloud
designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers
reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server space from
weeks to minutes
allows developers to pay only for capacity that they actually use
Azure
Internet-scale cloud computing and services platform hosted in
Microsoft data centers
Provides a range of functionality to build applications that span from
consumer web to enterprise scenarios
Designed to help developers quickly and easily create, deploy, manage,
and distribute web services and applications on the internet.

Cloud Computing Usage
Cloud Computing Usage
Cloud Computing has 3 major uses:
Infrastructure as a Service
Platform as a Service
Software as a Service
Infrastructure as a Service
Infrastructure as a Service
Defined as delivery of computer infrastructure as a service
Fully outsourced service so businesses do not have to purchase servers,
software or equipment
Infrastructure providers can dynamically allocate resources
for service providers
Service providers offer this service to end users
Allows cost savings for the service providers, since they do not need to
operate their own datacenter
Ad hoc systems allow quick customization to consumer demands
Platform as a Service
Platform as a Service
Provides all the facilities necessary to support the complete
process of building and delivering web applications and
services, all available over the internet
Infrastructure providers can transparently alter the platforms
for their customers unique needs
Software as a Service
Software as a Service
Defined as service-on-demand, where a provider will license
software tailored
Infrastructure providers can allow customers to run
applications off their infrastructure, but transparent to the
end user
Customers can utilize greater computing power while saving on the
following
Cost
Space
Power Consumption
Facility

The Future of Cloud Computing
Cloud is in the Infancy Stage
Cloud is in the Infancy Stage
Many companies are only using cloud computing for
small projects.
The trust hasnt been accepted
Details such as licensing, privacy, security, compliance
and network monitoring need to be finalized for the
trust to be realized
Future Personal Uses
Future Personal Uses
No more backing up files to thumb drives or syncing
computers together
Services replace devices
A single hard drive for the rest of a persons life,
accessible anywhere with internet
