What is the Cloud?
What is The Cloud
Cloud Services are any information technology services executed outside of your traditional network infrastructure.
These services accumulatively are referred to as The Cloud.
Characteristics:o On-demand self-serviceo Ubiquitous network accesso Location independent resource poolingo Rapid elasticityo Measured Service

Cloud CompositionPlatform as a Service: Evolution of hosting concept
Spark: virtualization
Evolution: OS options Better pricing
Utility billing model Granular feature set control “Transient instances in an constant state
of dynamic, self adjusting flux”, Yousef Khalidi, Microsoft Engineer
Sub categories / Azure examples: Single platform – Windows Azure Database – SQL Azure Infrastructure – Windows Azure Platform Data – ? Live Services user data ? Storage - Mesh – coming at PDC09

Software as a Service: Evolution of website and web services
Spark: Success of pay as you go websites I.E.
salesforce.com
Evolution: Integration options Increased stability Improved SLAs
Range of applications: From CRMs to subatomic & quantum
physics calculation engines Azure: Office, Exchange, SharePoint,
Dynamics

Dark Cloud - The Cloud is over-hyped
F5 survey: 67% of IT
managers have reserved a portion of their budget for The Cloud
71% expect to focus on The Cloud in ‘10
My survey: There are more
definitions for “The Cloud” than cloud implementers.

Cloud Scenarios

Cloud Scenarios – When is The Cloud appropriate?
Warning: Before we continue I must warn you:
o The Cloud is not a Silver bulleto The Cloud is not always cost effectiveo Do your homework before moving to The Cloud
Next ->
Cloud Scenarios – When is The Cloud appropriate?
Common reasons to use The Cloud Fiscal motivators:
o Capital Shortageo High strategic importance & Low projected ROI
Odd usage patterns:o Unstable usage patternso Low anticipated useo Insufficient data to product accurate usage

Cloud Deployment
Cloud deployment– Not all clouds are created equal
Types of clouds Public Clouds:
o Owned by Cloud provider
Private Cloud: o Owned by the organization
o Internal Cloud: Hosted on-premise
o External Cloud: Hosted by a Cloud provider

Cloud Planning
Mapping your walk in The Clouds
Mapping your walk in The Clouds
Basic architectural elements you should understand before taking a walk in the clouds
Is the Org. & culture ready for The Cloud? Does The Cloud add long-term value in this scenario?
Are the data, services, & processes well documented? What initial & long term resources are needed to support them? How do Cloud providers compare to these needs?
Are those providers compatible with existing Security, Governance, & Operational plans?
Should you adjust these plans? How?
The cloud gives technicians additional architectural options. It does not give us an excuse to deploy solutions without the proper IT
architecture.
