9. Benefits of a Utility Service Model
Easy
Ubiquitous
Lower barrier of entry
Consumption-based billing
Capacity on tap
10. Debunking the Myths
It’s been done before
The Cloud is just fancy Virtualisation
The Cloud is not for me because I don’t …
Build hugely scalable applications
Use technical computing, map/reduce, etc.
The Cloud is not for me because I am an Enterprise
Cloud Computing locks you in to a vendor
The Cloud is not secure

20. Scenarios for Cloud Computing
Scenario Why Suitable
Public facing Web Sites You’re already comfortable with it being on the Internet
Applications with Changing Load Benefit from cost efficiency provided by Elastic nature of the Cloud
Only pay for what you use
Applications with Uncertain Lifetime Easy Entry and Easy Exit
Scale Fast or Fail Fast Turn up the power, turn down the power as you need
Data Centre Extension Burst overflow during peak periods
Disaster Recovery Off-site back-up storage or fail over
SaaS Business Model Cloud is ideally suited to do SaaS
21. What are (some of) the challenges?
Physical Control
Geographic Proximity
Regulatory Compliance
Data Security
Data Sovereignty
Does this mean Cloud is NOT for me ?
22. How do I get this Cloud Thing?
“Reach for the Sky.” – Woody in “Toy Story”
23. Evaluating Cloud Computing
“Adventure is just bad planning” – Roald Anderson, Norwegian Explorer
Clarity & Insight
1 2 3 4
Awareness Assessment Experiment Adoption
(POC)
24. Identifying Opportunities
Platform Alignment SLA Requirements
Ease of Code Migration Data Sensitivity
Ease of Data Migration Policy Barriers
Savings Regulatory Barriers
Access Method
Usage Pattern
25. Calculating TCO
On-Premises TCO In-Cloud TCO
Hosting Data transfers
Facilities – including Compute
energy & cooling costs Storage
Hardware CDN
Licensing SQL Azure
Maintenance Access Control
Labour Service Bus
Other Other
26. Savings & ROI
Monthly Savings = In-Cloud TCO – On-Premises TCO
Total Savings = Savings X Months
ROI = Total Savings – Migration Expenses
27. And that’s a wrap…
The Cloud is BIG, it’s REAL, it’ Happening!
Microsoft is well positioned in PaaS
Microsoft has synergy & symmetry from on-premises to
the Cloud and back again
Windows Azure Platform is great, for the right scenario
Intergen knows Windows Azure…
