Cloud Computing A Major Paradigm Shift for IT Source: IBM 2
Cloud Computing - IT as a Service Cloud Computing is a computing and business model of shared network-delivered services: - Massive infrastructure - Scalability - Elasticity - Delivered as a Utility 3
Disruptive Innovation Major elements of Disruptive Innovation Lower gross margins Smaller target markets Simpler products and services Clayton M. Christensen Technology Performance Cloud Technology is Sustaining Innovation Cloud technologies improve functionality and performance to satisfy same targeted market Cloud technology IS NOT disruptive innovation, but a sustaining one Commodity Server Mainframe Commodity Server + Virtualization Time Source:ITRI IEK Service Performance Incumbent Software Cloud Service Time Cloud Service is Disruptive Innovation Cloud services adopt pay-as-you-go licensing model Cloud services target non-mainstream, smaller segment customers Cloud service users require not professional IT knowledge 4

Taiwan - Hardware Leadership Cloud Computing a Challenge? Source: MIC, March 2010 Worldwide Market Share Notebook PCs 95.3% Motherboards 93.5% Cable CPE 93.0% WLAN NIC 90.8% Netbooks 90.7% Servers (System/Pure MB) 88.7% LCD Monitors 71.8% DSL CPE 65.0% CDT Monitors 59.2% IP Phones 54.0% DSC 42.6% Desktop PCs 38.9% Servers (System) 37.3% ODD 25.8% CPE : Customer Premise Equipment NIC : Network Interface Card LCD : Liquid Crystal Display DSL : Digital Subscriber Line CDT : Color Display Tube DSC : Digital Still Camera WW No. 1 WW No. 2 ODD : Optical Disk Driver 6
Taiwan Cloud Strength & Opportunities Strength A. World No. 1 ICT Hardware manufacturing capabilities Opportunities Opportunity 1 : To develop cloud solutions and services integrating with leadership clients (Device and Service) B. Leading broadband infrastructure deployment and ICT applications in Asia Pacific region Opportunity 2: To develop cloud systems for enterprises And data centers Opportunity 3: To develop devices for the Cloud (Service Oriented Devices) Source:Cloud Computing Promotion Office, MOEA 7
Container Computers (Inventec, Wistron etc) for the Green Data Center Significantly lower energy cost; Speed up deployment PUE(Power Usage Effectiveness) lowered from 2.0~2.5 to 1.2~1.3 8
Devices to Support Cloud Services Old World : PC is King Brave New World : Cloud is King King Cloud takes up his place - Good old times for PC was in the past. Will PCs disappear in the future? No, but not good. Service is King - Cloud is the next brave new world What will the new generation of devices be? SOD (Service Oriented Device) to support Cloud Computing 9
Service Oriented Devices (for Cloud) App service / Data / Status synchronized from the cloud. Offline operations still important. Device may not be thin, but need to be smart enough. Computing power will still need to be powerful, but not a driving force. Flash storage will be main stream, but need not too large. Always on (power on & online) Battery life is key - 8 working hours at least. 10

III Vision CAFE Cloud Appliance For Enterprise Partner with major hardware/software vendors to develop Cloud Appliance for Enterprise (2-30 nodes) - for private cloud or hosted private cloud. Key components include Kernel environment, cloud file system, virtual desktop, cloud security guard to support CPU cloud, storage cloud, application cloud etc. Bundle with key applications as application cloud appliances. Work with ISVs to develop domain specific cloud platforms such as education, SMB etc. 雲 端 安 Cloud 全 防 護 管 Security 控 Guard Cloud Security Guard 中 小 教 育 企 業 Cloud Cloud App App Cloud Appliance For Enterprise 數 位 內 容 Cloud App Domain-specific Application Platform 特 定 領 域 雲 端 應 用 平 台 Personal Cloud Cloud Object Computer Storage Appliance 雲 端 桌 面 系 統 雲 端 檔 案 庫 系 統 Cloud Appliance Kernel Environment 雲 端 伺 服 器 核 心 業 界 發 展 資 策 會 發 展 12
CAFÉ (Cloud Appliance for Enterprise)- CAKE (Cloud Appliance Kernel Environment) Hypervisor (KVM) supports multiple virtual machines Can run different operating systems and application environments Rapid startup/shutdown of virtual machine (provisioning) Network and storage also virtualized Tune virtual machine share of physical resources (load balancing) 1: Light weight: 1 processor, 2GB memory, 2GB disk space are sufficient to start Control node 2: Significantly lower infrastructure cost 13
CAFÉ (Cloud Appliance for Enterprise)- PC² (Personal Cloud Computer) 2. Integrating with CAKE for application resource management/scalability Installed as pre-configured when appliance is purchased or upgraded Users NOT associated with a particular virtual machine Users can run applications on different OS / application platforms. 1. Do not provide dedicated VM for a single user resource savings Desktop and integration provided by PC2 virtualization environment Application Management Session control and management File System Access Web Applications 14
CAFÉ (Cloud Appliance for Enterprise)- COSA (Cloud Object Storage Appliance) 1. Keep sensitive data within the enterprise 2. An A4 size box can provide 9TB of data (with RAID) Single user sharing between devices Locations Office, home, travel Devices Workstations, laptops, cell phone, tablet etc. Personal convenience Groups of users collaborating Business groups, school classes, Productivity PROMISE VTrak Ex30 RAID PROMISE NS6700 15
CAFÉ Adding Applications Key Features Integrate third party applications with enterprise environment Seamless user access to domain specific applications Managed enterprise data CAFÉ + Third Party Applications Opportunities Domain Specific applications Education, Government, Health etc. ERP, CRM, Business Integration (BI), etc. Partners: Application Solution, System Integration and Online Service Providers, Server Resellers Client Devices CAFÉ Appliance Thin-client hardware Various architecture CAFÉ SSO Appliance Module Application Single Sign-On Federated Identity Optional local enterprise directory PC2 Appliance Module Desktop Virtualization Cloud Application Integration COSA Appliance Module Object Storage Document Management Collaboration Third Party Application Hypervisor / Provisioning (CAKE) 16
