Daughter (14): “It’s where my pictures and stuff are stored”
Me: …Where is that?
Daughter: I dunno. Um, do you care? You didn’t look at them did
you? And, don’t even try to ‘friend” me on Facebook
Son (10): I think it lets me access a server to play Mindcraft and
Clash of Clans with my friends online.
Me: Well, what do you think a server looks like?
Son: Hmmm, I don’t know, a popsicle?
What is cloud computing?
Infrastructure as a Service – Compute, Storage, and Network
Platform as a Service Software as a Service Desktop as a Service Fill in the blank IT Function as a Service
Our main focus today will be on IaaS.
Main Types of Cloud Computing
2003 $5.2B retail business 7,800 employees A whole lot of servers
2014 Every day, AWS adds enough server capacity to power
that whole $5B enterprise
4/16: Azure Infrastructure as a Service released for general availability, to compete with Amazon.
4/18: New Iowa datacenter announced. The data center is 1.16 Million Square Feet, and expected to cost nearly $1.13 billion. “The new giant Data Center will bring 84 jobs - 66 of which will have an hourly wage of $24.32 an hour”

Technology Adoption over the Years
In the future, a Data Center will be run by a man and a dog. The dog’s job is to make sure the man doesn’t touch the computers & the man’s job is to feed the dog.
The Future of the Data Center…

• Evaluating the potential return and a program approach to Cloud Enablement and IT Transformation
What is Cloud ? Deliver IT functionality as a Service

Service Based
Scalable and Elastic
Shared
Metered By Use
Internet Technologies
• No need to own SW or HW assets
• No need to integrate or maintain service
• Orders when needed, pays for use
• Owns and manage all of the IT assets
• Assume functions, costs and risks of the service components
Public Cloud• Leverages Service Provider shared resources / investment• Elasticity: Maximum flexibility, scalability, no CAPEX• Typically Metered use – OPEX model• GRC / ISSO controls and policies are on the buyer to develop• Nature of IT planning changes – not hardware bound • Lead-times are fast / agile ability to deploy workloads
Private• Uses internal version of Public Cloud model • Requires complete standardization and capacity on demand• Changes Accounting model – not per-project costing• Metered billing and “infrastructure lease model”• Retains internal GRC controls, but with scalable, flexible model• Limited in gross scale and internal capacity constraints
Hybrid• “Split” model – Public AND private platforms leveraged• Use cases defined for appropriate cloud model selection • Leverages Public flexibility / Scalability and private GRC / internal
controls as needed• Seen as common interim step in the full journey to cloud for
many customer• Allows IT to have broad solution model once policies are
established
Cloud Models: Public / Hybrid / Private

A Sense of Urgency for Private CloudBusinesses are now circumventing IT
Shadow IT
94% of organizations surveyed are running applications or experimenting with infrastructure-as-a-service.
87% of organizations are using public cloud.
According to a Cloud Survey done in February 2014 by RightScale
74% of enterprises have a hybrid cloud strategy and more than half of those are already using both public and private cloud.
No matter where you are, a cloud journey requires...
1. A structured, service lifecycle
approach.
2. Capability model and roadmap that
addresses people, process and
technology.
3. A flexible design you can evolve for
tomorrow’s cloud model.
4. Solution architecture blueprints that
provide customization to protect key
investments already made.
5. Solid Implementation plan built on real
life projects.
Bristol-Myers Squibb used cloud to cut trial simulation times by 98%, and therefore eliminating additional blood tests.
Steelcase is a Fortune 1000
company used the cloud to backup Sharepoint databases. Total SAN costs reduced by 46%. Backup and restore functions now 75% faster. Individual database restore times reduced by 87%.
Etsy, uses cloud-based capabilities to cost-effectively analyze data from the approximately one billion monthly views of its Web site and use the information to create product recommendations leveraging computing power that might typically only be affordable for larger retailers.”
Cloud Computing in Action
Netflix is able to spin up thousands of servers and terabytes of storage within minutes using AWS Cloud to stream movies to their mobile clients
As Hess divested from a number of businesses in its portfolio, they were able to transfer the IT piece of those businesses to AWS Cloud and hand that infrastructure over to the new buyer within 6 months. The handoff took 30 minutes.
NBC Olympics used massive cloud infrastructure to quickly deliver largest live streaming event in history, the US vs Canada hockey match (over 2 million viewers).
Cloud Computing in Action
Current State
- Legacy Infrastructure - Inefficient IT staff focused
on maintenance
- Not aligned to main business objectives
Future State
- Cloud Infrastructure - Strategic IT staff
- Aligned and driving business solutions
Relus Technologies – How Do We Fit
Significant Book Value on Current Data Center Infrastructure
Unaware of Assets, Lifecycles and Application Dependencies and the process for moving them
IT Team skill set is not aligned with future initiatives
Legacy Infrastructure maintenance and upgrade costs are too high on older hardware.
Aggressive Valuations on Asset Disposition and Buybacks, lower cost upgrades until you migrate.
People, Process and Tools, for Asset Discovery and tracking, Application Dependency Mapping, Migration, and Data Syncing
State of the art technology training solutions. Cloud specific staffing and perm placement expertise.
Aggressive, cost-effective and highly customizable maintenance solutions
