Jesus Villar, jesus at virttoo.org

2. CONTENTS
• What?
• Why?
• Effect.
• Conclusion.

3. CLOUD COMPUTING
The buzzword itself in 2009!

4. THE OTHER BUZZWORDS
• Cloud computing is just one approach
• Though, there are more to go:
• SaaS, PaaS, XaaS
• Webservices
• etc.

5. WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?!
"Clouds are hardware-based services, offering
compute, network and storage capacity where:
1.Hardware management is highly abstracted from the buyer
2.Buyers incur infrastructure costs as variable OPEX
3.Infrastructure capacity is highly elastic (up or down)"
Source: McKinsey&Comp

6. CLOUD CHARACTERISTICS
What do the NIST Guys tell us:
• Broad network access
• Resource pooling On demand self-service
• Rapid elasticity
• Measured service
• On demand self-service
Source: The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

7. LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
On demand self-service:
"A consumer can unilaterally provision computing
capabilities such as server time and network storage,
as needed automatically without requiring
human interaction with each service’s provider."

8. THE PROMISE
IT consumption as easy
as energy consumption

9. LET'S COMPARE
In the early industrialisation phase all factorys
generated their required electricity by
themselfs.
And today?

10. ELECTRICITY TODAY?
• Its just there.
• Always available.
• Instantly usable.
• Its
method of production has
no relevance for us.
(* except green electricity relevance, etc.)

11. THE SAME PROMISE FOR
OUR TECHNOLOGY WORLD?

12. SO WHAT, EVERYTHING IS COOL?
Way to go:
Standards are more
important than ever!

13. SO WHAT, EVERYTHING IS COOL?
More to go...
Sometimes you want to know where
your data is stored?

14. WHAT ABOUT US?!

15. THE EVOLUTION IS ONGOING
• Accept that you can't control everything!
• Learn managing instead of administrating your workset
• Partner with your users/customers.
• Focus on convention over configuration!
• Make friends with KPIs, SLA and efficient orchestrating!

16. WHAT IS CHANGING THE WORLD?
• Your
users are used to eperience performance in satisfing their
demands!
• Why? Say thank you to those guys:
*
• Your customers are used to have instant access to information
*and of course many more...

17. THREATS
• Cloud computing will be a Oligopole business
• The bigger you are the better your ecomony of scale will be
• Ifthere are just a limited set of providers, only limited
competition may be achieved. Image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hrefnabjorg/3906280271/

18. CHANCES
THE MARKET IS STILL
GROWING
Specialized providers
Focused on security and
respecting local laws
Offering sustainable SLAs
