About Kelley Blue Book
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform Why? Cost Flexibility
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform How we operate servers on premise
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform How we use our servers on premise
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform How we really operate our servers on premise
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform How do we pay for servers on premise?
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform Viral Marketing
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform How much flexibility is there?
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform Problems with this approach Focus on planning for scale rather than building applications Hard to handle the unexpected Load and stress testing becomes critical up front Large initial cost
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform Why not just virtualize everything? (“The Private Cloud”)
Cloud as a Utility Computing Platform Why not just virtualize everything? (“The Private Cloud”) Is this realistic? How many problems have we really addressed? Focus on planning for scale rather than building applications Hard to handle the unexpected Load and stress testing becomes critical up front Large initial cost
Cloud as a Storage Platform Same benefits as Compute Built-in redundancy Built-in scalability Lower initial cost, and most likely lower overall cost

Notas do Editor

  1. CostPay for what you useCapEx to OpExRemove the huge spikes when buying hardwareMinimize the need for load/stress testingImprovements see a direct savings. It’s hard to realize immediate savings when you have already invested in hardware.FlexibilityAlways have additional capacityReduce the planning cycles for marketingFocus on our business, not on ITPlanning time can be spent in product planning, not scalability planning
  2. Consistent resources based on long planning and purchasing cycles
  3. For the most part, predictable trafficDaily, weekly and seasonal fluctuations in trafficUp to a 95% drop-off in peak vs. non-peak
  4. We actually try to run our servers under 50%, even at peak traffic.This isn’t uncommon, but why?Waiting for something to go wrong?Able to handle extra load?Because you don’t want to have to ask for money too often?Because this is the way it’s done?
  5. We buy our hardware so we see big spikes in cost and there is a lower operational cost to running those servers.Everything is doubled because we have 2 datacenters, one is our primary and the other one is for DR and to handle burst capacity.Important note: your savings increases greatly the more variable your load is. If you plan to operate the cloud like your on-premise data center you’ll see a reduction in un-front costs, but probably end up paying more long term. Renting is typically more expensive than buying.
  6. What happens when something goes “viral”?
  7. It can take 6 weeks to get new servers deployed to the datacenter. In an emergency we can get everything ready in 2.
  8. Virtualization advantages:Lower operational costsResource managementThis can also apply in a global environment, but you probably want to get your data closer to the edge for a good experience.
  9. MarketplaceTrusted source to find high-quality, accurate, and authoritative contentQuickly understand data formats and query capabilities with the Service ExplorerChoose from flexible purchasing options and begin using data immediatelyData accessStandard protocol for accessing data through DallasFor developers, interoperable and simple to consume (RESTful protocol with an XML representation for the data)For end users, OData can be consumed by a growing list of products(we’ll show the Excel integration later)BillingProvider users choice on how they pay (subscriptions, per transaction)For V1, payments with credit cards, but provide choice over time
