The Cloud

2013 LENOVO

The Traditional View of The Cloud - DataCenter Services

…resources…

…provided as a service

Leverages distributed computing

technologies pioneered by consumer Web

firms and delivered by virtualized servers

Three “as-a-service” models

Iaas (infrastructure)

Paas (platform)

Saas (software)

Public (off-premise) or private

(on-premise or dedicated hosted)

Underlying technologies and operations

abstracted from user

Users typically billed or charged back on

simple pay-per-use basis

Lenovo’s View of The Cloud — It’s More Than Just Content Services

The Cloud itself.

Deliver “content” as a Service

Both public, private and hybrid cloud solutions

Infrastructure

The Middleware

The Access Device

Public Cloud

Private Cloud

Hybrid Cloud

The DataCenter, Servers, storage, etc… between the middleware

and content services

Secure access to private, public and hybrid clouds, as well as

monitoring the cloud performance

Cloud access devices, both normal PCs and network centric

devices, that display and connect to the Cloud

At The Client, Today’s Approach To Cloud Is Unbalanced

An Unbalanced Approach assumes a ―dumb-downed‖ client

Cloud Capabilities are delivered by the Data Center

to the “least common denominator” of Device

Cloud

Content

Services

2013 LENOVO

A Better Approach Moving Forward - Balanced

A balanced approach requires both the Client & the Cloud to be

“aware” of each other

The Cloud via a Browser Based

Desktop

Web based application delivery

Delivers multiple application types and other

datacenter resources

− Web applications

− Publish applications

(RDS, Citrix, etc.)

− Virtualized applications

− Local application

Using Clients that are aware of

Cloud

A client whose attributes are discoverable &

consumable by the Cloud

− Graphics processing

− Local Processor power

− Multi-factor authentication

− Memory usage

− Network bandwidth
