The Call for Innovation
2
Rapid time to market
Improve efficiency
Low capital investment
More and more, IT departments are burdened with increasing infrastructure requirements but without
the corresponding increase in resources.

Ready or Not: the Cloud is no “VAPOR”IT-related capabilities are now being provided “as a service” at a very rapid rate
Mobile applications are taking advantage of online services for storage, processing, building relationships, and various other ways
Technology R&D is shifting towards on-demand resources
RP CIOs look up to Cloud Computing as Top Solution to achieve cost savings, reduced time to market, and rapid ROI
Cloud Computing market to reach $150.1 Billion in 2013 - Gartner

What exactly is the Cloud?Combination of Internet-based technologies developed to provide on demand and
dynamically scalable and virtualized resources for a specific need
Services could be in a form of Software Applications (SaaS), Platform and Solution
Stack (PaaS), or on-demand Infrastructure (IaaS).
Current players include Amazon (AWS), Google (Google App Engine), Microsoft
(Azure), and Rackspace
In the Philippines, we have Morph Labs

But this is essentially what it is:No infrastructure - like electricity, pay for
what you use; leverage web connectivity

Once Cloud Computing is established, users are
able to engage “productized”
infrastructure within minutes.
Instant Availability
Resources within can provide near unlimited
capacity for burst requirements.
Unlimited Capacity
The main benefit of CLOUD COMPUTING is the provision of instant capacity and the release of that capacity when it is not needed. Morph has developed
technologies and deployed an operational center to bring the benefit of cloud computing to the enterprise reliably.
Automatic Scaling

One-Two Punch!

Open Source and Cloud Computing: An
Industry-Altering, One-Two Punch!
Cloud computing and open source software share a symbiotic relationship in that each is driving the growth and maturation of the other. Its combination will increase service delivery over traditional forms of software consumption, and together will drive down the costs traditionally associated with the software industry.

Public and Private CloudsPublic Clouds
Infrastructure provisioned on-demand using publicly available resources
Pay-per-use model
Shared resources
Potential Single Point of Failure if not managed properly
Setup is usually ephemeral, failure strategy is essential
Security of applications is a concern (because of its shared nature)
Private Clouds
Cloud infrastructure similar to a public cloud but setup is done on-premise and utilizes own hardware
Applications can be secured as needed by organization’s IT directive
Flexible to organization’s needs
Still requires substantial management of hardware resources and internal skillsets
Can be modeled to utilize public clouds when private cloud resources become constrained

MAP Builder
The MAP Builder enables system administrations
and web operations engineers to visually
design the cloud deployment
infrastructure. The MAP Builder also auto
calculates the implementation cost of a cloud configuration and
allows profile creation for multiple infrastructure
load scenarios.
Operations Support Services
Morph Labs provides a pre-built operational support services environment that can be customized for SaaS vendors. This allows software companies to
transition to a SaaS model rapidly.
Morph Application Platform
The Morph Application Platform (MAP) resides on distributed physical data centers called Morph Routing Centers (MRC). These centers act as “brains” for cloud management that provides the RELIABILITY and INTEGRATION service platform for cloud customers. MAP also enables hybrid deployment models.
Language Optimization
The Morph Application Platform SIMPLIFIES
adaptation of pre-built software into the “cloud” by supporting the 3 most widely used development languages. The language optimization layer hides
the complexity of the cloud infrastructure from the software developer.

SummaryCloud Computing is evolutionary, and is meant to optimize Big Iron environments
when needed
Infrastructure is generally underutilized and CLOUD technologies enable more
efficient use of existing resources
Open Source is a major driver on the development of Cloud Computing as a
technology and an industry by itself
As one of the players of the Cloud Computing ecosystem, Morph Labs harnesses
publicly available resources to create cloud computing solutions as well as enable
existing data center environments to create private clouds
