  1. We can examine the idea of the game change created by cloud in greater detail. The diagram expresses the idea of the paradigm shift at the interaction of two separate timelines.The lower timeline represents the client / server computing era (or PC era). This exists mostly in the past. It describes the progression of PC technology in the enterprise, from its early days as personal applications sourced by individuals, to enterprise applications, to virtualisation leveraging shared infrastructure and finally to private cloud – on-demand computing provided from inside the enterprise. This timeline is characterised by consolidation – the need to get greater value from a fixed investment in technology and minimising of cost. It is about creating efficiency through management of a commodity and has outputs measured in terms of cost. As you move along this timeline, you create value by increasing efficiency.The upper timeline represents the cloud computing era. We have mapped out what we anticipate the key milestones might be in line with Fujitsu’s vision of cloud computing. This represents the progression of a new set of online technology services. This timeline also describes increasing value, but a different type of value - business mobility. Moving along this line, businesses can exploit technology services for real and immediate business benefit.This paradigm of the upper timeline is of higher value than the lower timeline as it is better able to respond to real needs of the business. At the centre of the diagram is a value shift. As we move from one curve to another, we are switching to a different set of values. This is the game change, or the disruption.This model is workload specific. Over time individual workloads are moved up the curves to attain higher value positions – i.e. to deliver greater value. If and when appropriate, workloads can be jumped onto the new curve to realise the different set of values. It is likely that for most enterprises their workload portfolio will exist in a hybrid state, a blend of client/server and cloud services, with the ratio delivery models changing over time.
