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.

Increasing levels of virtualization across the region
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?
At what stage are you in server virtualization journey?

Transformation: The Seven Ingredients
This flexibility helps maintain quality of service by avoiding resource contention.
Moving from 3-tier to a 2-tier switch architecture reduces latency in server-server communications.
Reduces i/o connections per server, number of switches and routers, and power and cooling costs.
Flexibility
Simplification
Convergence
17
Creating a data center architecture that is simple, secure, flat and virtualized is critical
Direct links between all devices and change to TRILL and SBP protocol helps eliminate looping in STP.
Virtualizing security environment will help ensure VM level security measures are in place.

Eliminate Looping
Hybrid Clouds

The IT architecture should be able to support a hybrid cloud model

• Explosive growth ahead
• Low barriers to entry
• SaaS vendors need to move beyond “pure SaaS” to “PaaS”
• Lock-in model
SaaS
• A segment headed for rapid commoditization
Cloud Prediction 1: PaaS will emerge as key battleground

• A segment headed for rapid commoditization
• Robust service delivery platforms and flexi-pricing models crucial
• SaaS is a path of natural progression
IaaS
• The key battleground in the future of cloud
• PaaS market participants are expected to venture aggressively into the SaaS, IaaS turf
• Openness and integration with other platforms, mobile devices crucial

• Business skills such as project, relationship management will take front-seat
• Cloud will run on Commoditized, open source platforms with stringent SLA’s
It 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 professionals
IT departments will evolve
SMB’s will have access
Cloud Prediction 3: There will be a shift in how IT functions
23
• 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
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
Cloud Prediction 4: Significant efforts will be devoted to Standards, Security and SLA’s
24
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 5: Clouds will change how business use IT
IT departments will be under pressure to deliver “ITaaS”. IT
departments will have to contend with and compete against the external service providers with better SLA’s,
agile provisioning and resource allocation models
For private cloud to succeed in the enterprise IT needs to be
underpinned by three important characteristics – Self-service automation, Measurability
and Chargeback and Service assurance
25
Cloud computing adoption will be the primary driver for data center consolidation in the
large enterprises
Cloud will enable governments to provide better public
access to applications and data in a cost effective manner
In Asia Pacific, there will be several start-ups that will
eschew the traditional IT model and build their IT infrastructure on the cloud in a OPEX model
