What is Cloud Computing?
A pool of compute, memory and i/o resources, applications or operating environments with seemingly infinite scalability, delivered as a service over a network, be it private or public.

Cloud computing is witnessing growing traction in Asia Pacific
Cloud Computing is my # 1 priority for current/future fiscal year
Public Clouds are less secure than private clouds
There is more pressure on me from the top management to procure Cloud services
I believe that Cloud computing is going to shrink IT teams and make some jobs redundant
At this stage, the risks of cloud far outweigh the benefits

State of Virtualization in Asia Pacific
Although early adopters used server virtualization primarily for test and development environments, more customers today are moving production workloads to a virtual
machine.
Have you virtualized your server infrastructure?

Ease of Usability
Enable cloud users to Collaborate with each other ; “ mimic” web 2.0 capabilities
Easy interface so that usersDon’t need to be trained ; Intuitive interface
While the upfront pricing models Are largely CAPEX based, long run pricing models will beUser based with shared riskand rewards
Rapid provisioning and implementation
Off-the-shelf templates to ensure customers start seeing ROI right away. At the same timeit needs allow flexible servicecreation
Critical
Success
Factors
14
• Business skills such as project, relationship management will take front-seat • Cloud will run on commoditized, open source platforms with stringent SLA’sIt is all about Business
• IT automation will render several “dull” IT jobs obsolete• Skills in demand will include technical architects, vendor relationship
managers, risk management professionalsIT departments will evolve
• SMB’s have an unique ability to scale quickly and obtain access to enterprise class infrastructure
• Advent of start-ups that live in the “Cloud” with no infrastructure
SMB’s will have access to Enterprise class ICT
resources
• MNC’s and Conglomerates will offer “IT as a Service” both internally and potentially to external customers as well
• Drastic improvements in efficiency, effectiveness and measurability of IT
Conglomerates will become “Service
Providers”
• “Browser” is the software and “Internet” is the network• Ubiquitous access from any device, anytime, anywhere, any networkBrowser is the software
Cloud Prediction: There will be a shift in how IT functions
15
These are three critical areas where we expect considerable industry efforts in the future and in a recursive sense are essential for Cloud computing to become mainstream
Standards Development • Use cases • Reference implementations• Publishing of test results
Risk Management Frameworks • Adequate security controls• Vendor assessment standards• Stringent privacy laws on data integrity• Third-party audits and review
Improvement of SLA’s • More heterogeneity in SLA’s• SLA’s with clear response time • Financial liability • Robust privacy standards
Cloud Prediction: Significant efforts will be devoted to Standards, Security and SLA’s
