Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Your vendor provides access to an application
• Your vendor manages the physical infrastructure, Operating System,
Applications, and Databases
• Allows you to focus on using the application

Cloud Computing
• Your vendor provides physical infrastructure
• You control your server(s) Operating System, Applications, and Databases
• AKA Utility Computing
• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
4. The Personal Cloud
• Web 2.0 brings the power of the cloud to individuals and small organizations
• Services tend to be free or low-cost
• Learning curve tends to be shallow
• Data is backed up more effectively
• Makes data available from multiple devices and platforms
• Tends to emphasize use of mobile devices
• May require a lightweight front-end app
5. Mobile Devices and the Cloud
• The cloud drives the success of mobile devices
• Using the cloud with mobile devices
• Mobile devices vs. PCs
6. Website Creation and Content Management
• WordPress
• Drupal
• Confluence
• PBWorks (formerly PBWiki)
• and many more…
28. Not Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
• Security Awareness
• Reliability and Loss of the IT Relationship
• Everyone is in the Cloud Now
• Data Privacy and Control of Location
• Reliance on Bandwidth (and plenty of it)
• How much access do you get?
• How social are you feeling?
29. Dispelling the Hype
• You can’t rely on the cloud.
• Your data isn’t private!
• It’s insecure!

DonovanStart off by asking who has heard of cloud computing. Ask who feels confident they know what it means. It’s a buzzword with a lot of hype.Software as a Service is a software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally (typically in the (Internet) cloud) and are typically accessed by users using a thin client, normally using a web browser over the Internet.Formerly known as Application Service Provider (ASP). Differences are significant but exist in the background. Both provide access to an application and it’s data to the end user.
DonovanCloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet).Example: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)The advantages to cloud computing are many. For example, a business or user doesn’t have to use up their storage for their data. Data can be accessed from anywhere, usually with nothing more than an internet connection and a web browser. Data is backed up and secured off-site, with redundancy in the event of failure that most users and even businesses cannot afford to maintain.

Mike You can’t rely on the cloud. Your data isn’t private! Who is in the know and what do they know about you? The Government / Corporation is coming for your data! The IT guys know you better than you realize…
