8. Computation as a Utility
“If computers of the kind I have
advocated become the computers of
the future, then computing may
someday be organized
as a public utility just as the telephone
system is a public utility... The computer
utility could become the basis of a new
and important industry.”
—John McCarthy, MIT Centennial in 1961

9. The Big Switch
Recall the world before the Internet
Imagine the world before electricity
―The Big Switch,‖ by Nicholas Carr
(Jan 2008) draws strong parallels
between the maturation of the
electricity and computing industries
The implications for IT are profound

10. The Big Switch
IT is racing toward a new paradigm:
Computing delivered as an on-demand
service
The transformation is like that of the electric
industry during the 20th century
It’s the biggest IT transformation since
the introduction of the World Wide Web

11. Within the DoD, why now?
Consumer market successes Awareness
Unprecedented capability Potential
Technical advances Feasibility
Virtualization
Security
Economic pressures Necessity

29. Considerations: Types of Applications
What are the computational demands
of the applications?
Web apps load = transactions / s
Grid apps load = calculations / s
Data apps load = throughput / s

39. Considerations: Cost of Dedicated
Hardware
100 node (200-400 core) cluster ~ $200,000 /
yr
(includes cost of power, space, cooling, labor &
support)
Frontier Online
$0.10 - $0.30 / cap-hour (Ch)
100 C @ $0.15 / Ch for 10 hrs = $150

40. Final Considerations
The DoD has ~5M desktops
At 20% utilization, rougly $10B of capacity
is wasted annually
At the same time, there are few examples
of high-value SOA mashups that demonstrate
the value of this latent capacity
This ―Mashup Gap‖ has resulted in
requirements
that may not live up to the demands of the
applications that will ultimately create the most
value for the DoD
