Evolution to Transformation
The evolution of the Internet from a database to an industrial tool/factory is driving change Customer Office Customer Network Twisted pair, Coax, and 1 to 3G wireless Tools to reach the internet were computers with processors and storage at the end user The Internet was used to communicate, retrieve and post data Old School internet of the last 20 years LTE, 4G, Fiber at 1T to 100T The new Internet has industrialized processing and storage will accelerate the new computer bus between end-users and their industrial processing and storage Servers, Storage facilities,
In addition to traditional enterprises, a new enterprise ecosystem has been created The rising tide of next gen tech companies will continue to drive innovation in the foreseeable future Cloud computing: The latest evolution of hosting ISP 1.0 Provided access to the Internet (Dial-up ISDN, T1, T3) ISP 2.0 Access to servers at the Internet access point Colo (ISP 3.0) Racks for your equipment at the Internet access point ASP (ISP 4.0) Hosted (traditionally designed) applications on servers at the Internet access point Cloud (ISP 5.0) Dynamic, Internet-optimized infrastructure for hosting your applications SaaS Internet-based applications and services Source: Forrester Research, Inc.

Case Study
Real life example CRM Intranet, email, storage and collaboration ERP System Website/Customer Portal Legacy apps
Intranet, email, storage and collaboration Public Cloud Hybrid deployment model Improve performance Regulatory compliance Interaction with other apps Internet WAN Customer Office Private Cloud Customer Network
ERP application Requires control and security Performance is key specialized hardware preferred to off the shelf components If built from the hardware up, requires in-house skills on server management, VMs and orchestration The Private Cloud model allows deployment of high performance applications without the complexity of all the layers below This means the application team focuses on the application
