The benefits and why PDS is best positioned to help you.
CLOUD COMPUTING
Drivers fueling move towards Cloud Computing Architecture
Data-Intensive Applications: From massively parallel (e.g., Google) to
large data files (e.g., YouTube)
Infrastructure Technologies: Virtualization and automation
Networking: Growth in connectivity and bandwidth through
the Internet
Industrialization of IT:Standardization and commoditization
(e.g., e-mail), open source
Application Technologies:From parallel processing
(grid, MapReduce, Hadoop) to Web 2.0, SOA
Data Center Pressures:Growing costs of power and
space, server sprawlWeb Platforms and
Applications:Elastically scalable global class infrastructure and mashable services built on WOA (e.g.,
REST, RSS/Atom)
PRIVATE CLOUD COMPUTING
PDS reference architecture for building a Private Cloud based on five pillars, which leverages the best aspects of Cloud
Computing technology like elasticity, precise cost allocation, and capacity management without sacrificing control, security,
or bearing the higher cost of full public Cloud Computing.

DYNAMIC VIRTUAL COMPUTE MODEL
A Dynamic Virtual Compute Model
DVCM INDUSTRY DRIVERS:
A fundamental shift in the management of the client end point• From device based to “container”
based model• Applications or environment will be
based on combination of device, bandwidth, usage model & policy
Alternate Client Devices:• Explosion of form factors, mobility,
connectedness
IT’s client platform business is becoming more complex and costly to manage
• Consumerization, Multiple OS, Multiple Vendor influences
• Ratio of devices to users becoming 1:many
Business model for enterprise clients is becoming more complex.
Users will require access to corporate applications and data from multiple devices
• Not always corporate owned or managed• IT will require scalable solutions to manage
that complexity
DYNAMIC VIRTUAL COMPUTE MODEL
DVCM DEFINITION
The Dynamic Virtual Compute Model is an architectural framework PDS uses to strategically position existing and
emerging end-user technology to deliver the best user experience with the greatest efficiency.
Our approach allows organizations to visualize and plan their strategy over multiple years; taking into account trusted computing elements, different form factors, virtual infrastructure, application delivery, and automated
management. The approach has significant advantages over traditional flat compute models and allows organizations to apply proactive strategy to an
area of computing that has been overly reactive in the past.
