2. Proof of concept: George
Favaloro poses with a 1996
Compaq business plan. The
document is the earliest
known use of the term
“cloud computing” in print.
Technology Review tracked the coinage of the term back
[...] to late 1996, and to an office park outside Houston.
Inside the offices of Compaq Computer, a small group of
technology executives was plotting the future of the Internet
business and calling it “cloud computing.”
Their vision was detailed and prescient. Not only would all
business software move to the Web, but what they termed
“cloud computing-enabled applications” like consumer file
storage would become common.
For Compaq, it was the start of a $2-billion-a-year business
selling servers to Internet providers.

Who coined “Cloud computing”?
Mainframe
concepts,
but using
modern
technology

3. IDC Research
The cloud has changed the fundamen­
tal nature of computing and how
business gets done and it will
continue to do so through 2020.
In fact, IDC predicts that by 2020
clouds will stop being referred to as
"public" and "private" and ultimately
they will stop being called clouds al­
together. It is simply the new way
business is done...
IDC research also shows that the
global cloud infrastructure is super­
scaling and becoming the launch pad
for infrastructure innovation and as a
result, hardware vendors’ innovations
are shifting to “cloud first”.
IBM
Cloud computing is the delivery of on-
demand computing resources — every-
thing from applications to data — over
the Internet on a pay-for-use basis.
What is Cloud Computing?
Google
By moving to the cloud,
you free your team to
focus on development,
rather than maintaining
servers. You can also
save dramatically over
the the high costs of on-
premises infrastructure.
Oracle
Cloud computing is a significant
advancement in the delivery of
information technology and
services.
By providing on demand access
to a shared pool of computing
resources in a self-service,
dynamically scaled and metered
manner, cloud computing offers
compelling advantages in cost,
speed and efficiency. Microsoft
Cloud is a once­in­a­
generation technology
advancement, and our
customers are using the
power of cloud to
reimagine their
businesses — whether by
accelerating innova­
tion, enabling new
business scenarios,
speeding time to market,
or driving cost savings.
PwC
Agile companies are seizing
opportunities around the cloud to
create innovative new services
and business models that
decrease time to market, create
operational efficiencies and
engage customers in new ways.
Cloud services are more than
technology delivery paradigms
[and offer] the potential to propel
IT agility to new heights and
fulfill the role of technology as a
strategic enabler.

4. COMMON FEARS:
1. Security risk perceptions (privacy / confidentiality)
2. Risk of vendor lock-in
3. Risk of data access lock-out
COMMON UNCERTAINTIES:
4. Weak legal and regulatory frameworks
5. Technological complexity and technical competencies
6. Incompatibility with current infrastructure
COMMON DOUBTS:
7. Limited awareness among executives
8. Fear of change and job loss
9. Inability to quantify value
10. Concerns over long-term costs
Misgivings about the Cloud
...are best addressed by engaging with: “trusted partners”

5. 1) Expanding Scale with Lower Entry-barriers
●
Users
●
Transactions
●
Computations
●
Data
2) Increasing Complexity + Consumability
●
Data and data management
●
Workloads
●
Discovering insights
●
Interaction
3) Accelerating Pace
●
Evolving business eco-system
●
Dynamic scalability
●
Minimize time to value
●
Pace of technology & globalization
4) Growing Contextual Overload
●
Proliferation of sensors/devices
●
The “Internet of Things”
●
Demand for personalization
●
Just in time deliveries
Global Mega Trends
TECHNOLOGY DRIVERS (mobility + social-networks + big-data + cloud) ARE:
...SO KEY FUTURE IMPERATIVES ARE TO CONTINUOUSLY:
a) Reinvent Business Models b) Grow Business Intelligence c) Integrate Risk Management
➔ Seek an agile, simplified &
stream-lined enterprise.
➔ Balance growth & efficien-
cy with business resiliency
➔ Develop capability to make
better-informed decisions
➔ Build customer-centricity &
profitable growth strategies
➔ Achieve compliance,
mitigate risks, fight crime
➔ Optimise financial returns,
job satisfaction, staff loyalty

6. About 70% of I.T. operating costs...
...are on management & administration of existing systems, not innovation!
Now
68%29%
20 yrs ago
* IDC; Converged Systems: End­User Survey Results presentation
New server spending
Power & cooling costs
Systems management & admin costs
But is I.T. ready for the challenge?

7. The continuum of options for Cloud service-delivery
Private Public
IT capabilities are provided “as a
service”, over an intranet, in-house
and inside the corporate firewall
IT capabilities are provided “as a
service”, over the Internet, either
openly or through a secure VPN
In-house hosted,

8. Software as a
Service (SaaS):
• Collaboration
• Analytics
• ERP/SCM/CRM
• Industry applications
Business-Process as a
Service (BPaaS):
• Industry-specific processes
• Employee benefits management
• Business travel
• Procurement
Infrastructure as a
Service (IaaS):
• Servers
• Storage
• Network
• OS, Virtualization
• Dynamic provisioning
Platform as a
Service (PaaS):
• Middleware
• Database
• Development tools
• Web Application
• Backup/Restore
Four major categories of Cloud consumption

9. …can be either a Single-Step or an Evolutionary-Process:
CONSOLIDATE
Physical Infrastructure
CLOUD
Dynamic provisioning for workloads
VIRTUALIZE
Increase Utilization
STANDARDIZE
Operational Efficiency
AUTOMATE
Flexible delivery & Self Service
SHARED RESOURCES
Common workload profiles
Ready
the
Infrastructure
and
HR
com
petencies
Integrate
with
existing
infrastructure
Traditional IT
Migrating from Traditional I.T. into Cloud

10. 3. Automation
Faster cycle times
Lower support costs
Optimized utilization
Improved compliance
Optimized security
End user experience
2. Standardisation
Easier access
Flexible pricing
Reuse and share
Easier to integrate
1. Virtualisation
Higher utilization of resources
Economy of scale benefits
Lower capital expenses
Lower operating expense

The key “building-blocks” towards Cloud

11. Cloud computing has 5 key
characteristics:
1.On-demand self-service
2.Broad network access
3.Location independent
resource pooling
4.Rapid elasticity
5.Measured service
Cloud enables:
 Self­service
 Sourcing options
 Economies of scale
 Business flexibility & agility
Cloud represents:
 The industrialisation of delivery
for IT supported services
Multiple cloud deployment models
coexist:
 Private, public and hybrid
 Workload or programming
model–specific
Cloud Computing is an IT consumption and
delivery model, that is inspired by consumer
internet services and optimised by workload
Cloud addresses conflicting business demands
