3 What is The Cloud A style of compu.ng in which scalable and elas.c IT- enabled capabili.es are delivered as a service using Internet technologies. (Gartner) 3

4 A Wide Range of Cloud Services SaaS: Software as a Service PaaS: Platform as a Service IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service DaaS: Desktop as a Service StaaS: Storage as a Service BCDRaaS: Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery as a Service 4

5 The Cloud is Growing Cloud services overall are growing by 25% - over half of enterprises are on their way to the cloud. Source IDC IT cost savings (lower CAPEX, managed OPEX and IT consumerization (i.e. user demand for mobility and collaboration tools) are driving cloud growth In 2014, IT organizations in 30% of Global 1000 companies will aggregate, integrate, and customize wo or more cloud services (up from 5% now). Source: Gartner Within five years, the primary use of the term cloud will be to describe initiatives that are business-led rather than IT-led. Source: Gartner 5

9 The Cloud Delivers.. Lower Costs, Continuous Innovation and AGILITY.. Yesterday: Lower CAPEX/TCO drove cloud computing Today: Continuous innovation shifting the focus of IT from operational to strategic Expand benefits throughout the organization as additional applications, services, tools and technologies are moved to the cloud New application delivery models Tools that empower employees to be more efficient and effective 9

10 The Cloud Supports: the New Role of IT Yesterday: IT was the gatekeeper: No, you can t have that device. Today: IT has to allow smartphones, tablets and other devices requires policies and processes for BYOD Cloud services such as DaaS can keep all the data centralized and behind firewalls supporting SSAE16, HIPAA or other controls Reducing risks while still allowing users to have much more flexibility supports the new role of IT 10

11 The Cloud Supports Hybrid Infrastructures Yesterday: IT investments were 100% in on premise solutions (i.e., the data center) Today: Enterprises take advantage of legacy investments while gaining efficiencies via the cloud Not everything within an enterprise can move to the cloud immediately A hybrid architecture cloud and a traditional, hosted infrastructure delivers the benefits of both Rapid deployment, scalability and consumption-based billing 11

12 The Cloud is Changing the World of Business Continuity The ability to use the cloud to replicate workloads between geographies is changing Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Now IT Services can be accessed from within the network, outside the network, or from a virtual desktop Remote workforce does not get held up by a blizzard in Providence where the servers are located The overall business is not crippled if workers cannot get to the office 12

13 The Cloud Supports The Evolution of Remote Workforces Yesterday: DaaS/BYOD focused on simpler applications: call centers or in healthcare; clearly defined apps, not a complex desktop Today: DaaS for people who work remotely: contract programmers who are thousands of miles away DaaS can present a virtual desktop with the needed tools and access only to the required data, disabling USB ports, CD- ROM drives, clipboards, and even printing ability to prevent removal of any data 13

14 The Cloud Enables A New Generation of Application Hosting Yesterday: Application hosting primarily for technical support Today: Support for both business value and technical support of applications: Minimize costs of purchasing software licenses for peak periods Establish extensive customer support, accessible via phone, , chat 14
