1 Towards the Cloud! Ian Osborne Director, Digital Systems KTN, Intellect

2 About the Speaker Director, Digital Systems KTN Technology Strategy Board programme Launched October 2009 IT Knowledge Transfer Network Cyber-Security Location and Timing Scalable Computing Built upon the foundations of Grid Computing Now! KTN Focused on Cloud/Utility, Sustainability and Distributed Applications/Services Working since October 2009 on G-Cloud & Apps Store Towards the Cloud 2

3 "Software as a service is just the tip of the iceberg. We re moving to a future state where everything will be delivered to you as a service." SHANE ROBISON, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT & CHIEF STRATEGY AND TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, HP Towards the Cloud 3

4 Agenda Towards IT as a Service Cloud Computing - G-Cloud Programme Application Trends Challenges Conclusions Towards the Cloud 4

5 Where are we heading? Old World Static Silo Physical Manual Application New World Dynamic Shared Virtual Automated Service Towards the Cloud 5

6 Flexibility IT Architecture Trends Range of solutions The Cloud! Service Oriented Architecture On Demand Service Ubiquitous Virtual Network Access Location Computing Independent Resource Pooling Infrastructure Rapid Elasticity Consolidation Measured Service Services Towards the Cloud Resource Sharing 6

7 Delivery Model Model Capability Provided Example Services SaaS PaaS To use the provider s applications running on a cloud infrastructure and accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface such as a Web browser To deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumercreated applications using programming languages and tools supported by the provider (e.g., java, python,.net) Citizen Engagement (Wikis, Blogs, Data.gov) Government Productivity (Cloud based tools) Business Enablement (Salesforce.com) Enterprise Applications (Core Mission & Business Services Database and Database Management Systems Developer / Testing Tools Virtual Environments IaaS To provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications Computing Storage Application hosting Towards the Cloud 7

8 Deployment Model Overview COMMUNITY CLOUD PRIVATE CLOUD Operated solely for an organization. Shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns PUBLIC CLOUD Made available to the general public or a large industry group and is owned by an organization selling cloud services. HYBRID CLOUD Composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability Towards the Cloud 8

9 Market Dynamics SaaS: Services (Hotmail, Gmail) CRM Systems (SalesForce) Office Systems (Google Docs/Apps) Microsoft Azure Application Migration (RNLI,...) Virtual Data Centres (Cisco, Betfair) Outsourced IT Services (Bechtel) Financial Sector Private Cloud, CRM Government Initiatives US Federal Cloud Computing Initiative/Storefront UK G-Cloud Towards the Cloud 9 James C.

13 Opportunities:- Reduced Capital Outlay Purchase Flexibility Instant Access Reduced Unit Costs Scale Up, and Down! Elasticity in Usage Costs Offloaded Power/Carbon Costs Interoperable Open Services Steve Staso Issues:- Challenges Life beyond the firewall Physical Security Network Access Latency Quality of Service Service Level Agreements Data Security Provisioning Models Proprietary Interfaces Application Support Scalability Models Software Licensing Models Towards the Cloud 13

14 Application Trends Virtualisation and scale-out versus silos and user limits Dynamics of operation Few viable licensing models SaaS vs Installed Software Multi-tenanted versus multiple installs Zero Maintenance Public Cloud or Private Network based Security Service Levels Service-based versus integrated applications Data Management and Disaster Recovery Rise of the Applications Store (iphone, Microsoft, Google, G-Cloud) Towards the Cloud 14

15 Getting Started Consolidate your list of applications Reduce duplication, improve efficiency Look to adopt Virtualisation in house Increase utilisation, flexibility available capacity? Look at options to out-saas standard business services , CRM, Payroll, HR, Project Management, etc. Look at in-saas options for core business applications Cloud enabled business applications suite Look at options to extend your own Data Centre Cloud bursting for peak demand Disaster Recovery Services Towards the Cloud 15

16 Security A Cloud Service Provider is just that:- Due diligence on the company (CIF*) ISO and SAS 70 Service Level Agreements Data Security Plan Application Escrow or Portability Network Access Security Billing Mechanisms/Controls Location of Data Storage Disaster Recovery Plan Towards the Cloud 16 *FAST Cloud Industry Forum

17 Conclusions Cloud is over-hyped but over here and it s rise as an utility approach to computing is irresistible Cloud Service Providers will emerge to provide any shape, form or function of services from infrastructure to information Customers will expect access to services on-demand Businesses of all sizes will require access to dynamically provisioned services The benefits are being realised now, big and small! But, it doesn t come for free: Expertise is required to guide potential XaaS adopters Expertise is required to design effective solutions Expertise will be required to troubleshoot Towards the Cloud 17
