2 What Is The Cloud? Simple description Simple technical description Cloud Services = Consumer and Business products, services and solutions delivered and consumed in real-time over the Internet 1) Shared Services, 2) under Virtualized Management, 3) accessible over the Internet (by people and other services) via Internet Standards Key Attributes (must meet ALL) Shared (one-to-many) service built for a market, not a customer Self-service provisioning Dynamic, and fine-grained ("elastic"), service scaling Usage/user-oriented pricing (and utilization and cost tracking) Standards-based UI (browser and successors) Published program/service interface (e.g., web services APIs) Deployment Models [Note: large gray zones between these two broad categories] Public - open to a largely unrestricted universe of potential users; designed for a market, not a single enterprise Private - designed for, and access restricted to, a single enterprise (or extended enterprise) 2

5 Why IT Infrastructure in the Cloud? Cloud solutions address many business requirements I don t t want to build a data center Lower cost of entry for start ups (SaaS( SaaS,, Web 2.0, departments, etc ) Its where the users are Efficient delivery of information/applications I have a temporary problem IT Infrastructure on-demand for intermittent, bursty or unpredictable workloads (e.g., reporting, analytics, media launch) I need to park some data for a long time Lower/shared cost solutions for long term archiving of digital assets a (medical records, personal images, backups. ediscovery archives) 5

6 What is Cloud for Providers of IT Infrastructure Hardware, Software, and Services? Cloud is an architecture Services-oriented applications running on virtualized servers, storage, and networks in an optimally managed and designed data center Cloud is a customer base BPaaS, SaaS,, Web 2.0, and other service providers Cloud is a delivery strategy (ITaaS( ITaaS) Basic IT resources (Capacity, processing) Advanced IT applications asset management information management security 6

9 Essential Guidance The Cloud is not an isolate development in storage Organic growth in general business data will remain strong, but key challenges for businesses are come from the growing diversity digital data sources Storage solutions are evolving to leverage common hardware components that optimize for efficiency, density, and longevity Advanced capabilities for organization and protection of information assets must be part of the basic storage and information management solutions, not an afterthought 9
