Cloud Value
3
A Crisis of Complexity Exists The Need for Progress is Clear
85% idleIn most typical computing environments, up to 85% of computing capacity sits idle.
Explosion of information driving 54% growth in storage shipments every year.
1.5x
70¢ per $170% on average is spent on maintaining current IT infrastructures versus adding new capabilities.

IT Requires Significant
Capital
Estimated capital cost of one cabinet of servers
$200,000
Expensive, Uncertain ROI, “Risky”
5
Operating Costs• Power, cooling, network:
$100,000/year• HR: $100,000/year
Expensive during idle time• Consumes power• Requires cooling • Requires maintenance• Depreciates quickly (Moore's Law)
Poor Utilization Rate of 5-15%
Average Server Lifespan is 3 years
And more than Capital Expenses

Users • simply log on through a website or
software application as usual• use resources as needed, when
needed IT Managers
• focus on enterprise IT applications, rather than supporting hardware infrastructure
• have access to automatic scaling, updating, backup, availability
Enterprises • only pay for what is used• operating expense tied to lines of
business rather than large capital expenditures
What is Cloud Computing?
Just like a utility – Turn on the tap when needed – off when not
HIGH PERFORMANCECompute, Storage,
Network, SecurityREDUCE CAPITAL EXPENSES
and LOWER OPERATING COSTS
The CloudComputing Solution

Less Expensive, Superior Solution
The current market for cloud services is $46.4 billion. By 2013, the market will reach $150.1 billion - Gartner Group.
By 2011, early technology adopters will forgo capital expenditures and instead purchase 40 percent of their IT infrastructure as a service - Gartner Group.
By 2013, 12 percent of the world software market will be Internet-based form of SaaS and Cloud Computing - Merrill Lynch.
Cloud Computing- growing rapidly
2013$150B
2008$46B

US: Apps.gov - save on their $75B/year
IT expenditure and expect to save
$5B/year on energy
Japan: Digital Japan Creation Project -
100 trillion yen in 5 years
Korea: Part of Government Green
Initiatives
European Union: RESERVOIR project
Government of Canada: Cloud

Standards - What system should I use?
Confusion - So many options
Complexity - How do I start?
Transition - What training is needed?

VRStorm Cloud Interface
22
VrStorm’s Interoperable Cloud Architecture
Red Hat RHEL – most robust, flexible, scalable operating system
Red Hat KVM virtualization is highest performance
VrStorm customizable cloud user interface
Callouts to other public clouds
Use other methods of virtualization if desired

Conclusions
Cloud computing is inevitable, happening globally
Potential to save Canadian Enterprises $ billions
Supports higher performance, flexible, scalable, robust, reliable, resilient, more mobile applications
Canadian companies must adhere to Canadian Privacy laws
Different types of cloud Infrastructure as a Service are suitable for different types of applications
Develop a roadmap for migrating to the cloud
