Let’s use a simple analogy
Say you just moved to a city, and you’re looking for a place to live

You can either
Build a house or
Rent an apartment

If you build a house, there are a few important decisions you have to make…

How big is the house? are you planning to grow a large family?
Remodel, addition typically cost a lot more once the house is built

You make a fewer,
simpler decisions
You can start with one unit and grow later, or downsize

But…
You do not have a lot of options to
customize your unit

What is cloud computing ?
Cloud Computing is a new way of delivering computing resources, not a new technology.
European Network and Information Security Agency, Cloud Computing, 2009
Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet).
Wikipedia
20 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Main cloud computing models Software as Service (SaaS) Software as a service, sometimes referred to as "on-demand software", is a software delivery model in which software and associated data are centrally hosted on the cloud.
Wikipedia
Platform as a Service (PaaS) Platform as a service (PaaS) is a service that provide a computing platform and a solution stack (database, web server etc..) as a service.
Wikipedia
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Infrastructure as a Service is a provision model in which an organization outsources the equipment used to support operations, including storage, hardware, servers and networking components.

Cloud Computing
23 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Public cloud Public cloud applications, storage, and other resources are made available to the general public by a service provider.
Wikipedia
Community cloud Community cloud shares infrastructure between several
organizations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.
Private cloud Private cloud is cloud infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.
Hybrid cloud Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community or public) that are bound together.

Federal Act on Geoinformation (GeoIG), 1. July 2008
Art. 1 Aim
This Act has the aim of ensuring that geodata relating to the territory of
the Swiss Confederation is made available for general use to the
authorities of the Confederation, the cantons and communes, the private
sector, the public and to academic and scientific institutions in a
sustainable, up-to-date, rapid and easy manner, in the required
quality and at a reasonable cost.

Why cloud computing ?
Boost innovation
• Offer services that were previously not implementable (…bandwidth of 500 MB/s)
• «Start 10 servers …in 10 minutes … and stop
them 10 minutes later»
66 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Why cloud computing ?
Focus on your business
• Rent IT ressources, don’t manage them
67 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Why cloud computing ?
Cost Reduction
• From 25’000 EUR/server to 6000 EUR/server 8 physical servers: 200’000 EUR/year (maintenance + investition costs) 100 cloud servers: 600’000 EUR/year (maintenance + investition costs)
• No investition cost
• Infrastructure is never obsolete
68 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Why cloud computing ?
Flexibility • Generate millions of tiles in one night • Adapt infrastructure to customer usage • FSDI can be hosted on whatever cloud provider
(thanks to automation and OpenSource)
• Faster time to market. An IT ressource is «only» an API call.
69 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Why cloud computing ?
Improve security • Compliance with high security standards (ISO
27001, SOC 1/SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 etc…)
• Automation allows faster patching
• Data centers are located on several places worldwide. Possibility to use various locations
• Big players will not play with security. It’s the hearth of their business, and not of your business.
70 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Why cloud computing ?
Improve availability
99.95 % availability (24/24 – 7/7) in 2012
71 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Why cloud computing ?
Improve customer services
• No slashdot effect • New services are implementable in weeks • React fast to customer requests • No downtime (…almost: status.geo.admin.ch)
72 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
Keep in mind
• Cloud offers are not standardized. Cloud API’s are not standardized. -> Provider dependency has to be evaluated.
• Be careful with private and sensitive data. -> Hybrid cloud has to be evaluated
• You still need sysadmins to manage your IT. • Usually, the current applications have to be
migrated to the cloud in order to use it efficiently (clustering, load balancing etc…).
73 Federal Office of Topography swisstopo COSIG
CONCLUSION
"FSDI customers and visitors benefit of a
performing and flexible spatial data infrastructure
based on public cloud computing"
