What is a ‘Cloud’
Cloud is a model for IT consumption with the following characteristics:-– Self service provisioning of resources
Templates, catalogued services, standardised operating models etc
– Chargeback or utility billing
Pay only for what you use for as long as you use it
– Elasticity
Scalability both up and down on demand
– Automated Service Management
Workflows
Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
Defined Quality of Service (QoS)
Implementation– Private – single tenanted, shared/pooled infrastructure, management/hosting/ownership options
– Public – multi tenanted, shared/pooled or dedicated infrastructures, supplier owned & run
Benefits of moving to a cloud model– Users experience – rapid provisioning, ease of access to best in class functions, choice, reduced
costs, better security and reliability
– Enterprises experience – reduced operating costs, improved capex efficiency, rapid flexible service enhancements

In general any ‘IT as a Service’ (ITaaS) Cloud requires storage Storage efficiency is essential to maintain growth whilst containing costs Along with server, software and infrastructure – storage will be provisioned as part of the
Cloud service catalogue/templates Storage is subject to the common issues/functions of the cloud:
– Self service/Orchestration driven
– Operational Management
– Service Monitoring
– SLAs and QoS guarantees
– Security and access controls
– Resource metering
– Service termination and resource reuse
Storage integrated into the Cloud Portal, Orchestration and Workflow frameworks
Also ‘STorage as a Service’ (STaaS) in it’s own right

Storage is under a Cloud too!

Clouding; The Issues
Self Service requires:– Storage VIRTUALISATION
– Thin Provisioning
– Free space reclamation
Chargeback and utility billing requires:– Comprehensive metering software
– Integrated accounting and charging capability
Elasticity requires:– Highly scalable hardware, both horizontal and
vertical
– Space efficient storage using compression, de-dupe, integrated tape etc
– Dynamic commercial models allowing flex up and down
Automated Service Management requires:– Self-managing ‘autonomic’ storage
– Comprehensive monitoring and alerting
– Automated performance optimisation
– Reliable backup, replication and DR capabilities
