The Cloud - Hotel Analogy Where do you start? • You build a hotel

– How big and what ‘*’ rating do you choose?

– Physical Location?

• You build Rooms / Floors – Rooms can be of different sizes and

features • Large screen TV, Jacuzzi etc • Executive room / budget Room

• Risk of empty rooms not being used

• What happens when we are full – Move customers to other hotels? – Build an extension?

Or… Somewhere in the Middle>?

Where are you on this Journey?
