Public - service provider makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to the general public over the Internet. ◦ may be free or offered on a pay-per-usage model. Ex. Apple, Amazon ,

Google. Private - virtualized cloud data centers inside your company’s

firewall.◦ may also be a private space dedicated to your company within a cloud

provider’s data center. Hybrid – Combination of two or more clouds (private or public)

that remain unique entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models. ◦ multiple cloud systems can be connected in a way that allows programs

and data to be moved easily from one deployment system to another.

Should be based on the evaluation of benefits and risks – it all comes down to control

Should be weighed based on the following criteria: Ensure hardware and software infrastructure is in place to support

cloud technology Ensure that security model is in place to support cloud technology Ensure resources and expertise exist to support cloud technology Calculate and compare total cost of ownership Connectivity that is device independent Transparent to users Security and Compliance

M-DCPS Example◦ Transparency/Single Sign-On ◦ In house experience◦ Meet regulations and security standards◦ Challenges

Resistance to change – especially in cloud storage and collaboration

Security and collaboration don’t always play nice◦ Always think “Path of Least Resistance”

- find the balance

Cloud based computing requires a leap of faith – are you willing to relinquish some control to reap the benefits?

Baby Steps (Action Items)◦ Begin by establishing a private cloud and give users tools and

access to data◦ Migrate to an SSO configuration to connect users to third

party resources and other clouds◦ Consider shifting internal software and services to cloud-

based as they become more robust
