What is Cloud?

Cloud is:

• The on-demand provisioning of applications, services, and/or infrastructure from a network, rather than a local computer

• Not new technology, but new management capabilities, processes, and packaging

2

Context

Why Cloud?

• Cloud is frequently promoted for:‒ Cost savings and efficiency‒ Flexibility and scalability‒ Reduced data center issues‒ Rapid application development‒ Better data security

• But some fear:‒ Loss of control‒ Other data privacy and security issues

• Audit process support, data location, etc.

3

Value

Cloud Definition

• NIST* definition of Cloud

• This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of:‒ 5 essential characteristics‒ 3 service models‒ 4 deployment models

4

*National Institute of Standards and Technology-v15

Cloud is not just about technology but about automating service management

Let’s quickly review to have a common basis of understanding
