Storage Cloud 101

Unlimited storage available over the internetOn-demand and Elastic

Over-provisioning: A thing of the past

Web services interface (REST,SOAP)Other protocols can be built on top of these

Cost typically based on actual storage and bandwidth usedOff-site

Ideal for Secondary and Tertiary Storage

Amazon S3 is the market leader

Moving to the Cloud: Storage Considerations

Robustness

Scalability

Cost

Flexibility

Location of Application Binaries

Locking up your backup data in

proprietary formats (including proprietary clouds) comes with a

HUGE cost.

Why Backup to Cloud?

No capital expenses.

Reduce infrastructure management tasks

Faster recovery from offsite backups

Geographic accessibility

More efficiency and reliability for SMB customers

Multiple cloud vendors to improve reliability

Backup data available in the cloud for additional analysis such as e-discovery

Example Use CasesBiopharma – various applications

Collaboration, grids for compound analysis

Compute intensive statistical analysis

Challenge: internal lead times, cost of data center build-out

Cloud payoff: agile deployment, cost savings, application compliance, portability to avoid lock-in

Health insurance – claim form processingGrid processing of 10M's claim forms for fraud, etc.

.NET based application, hybrid system, HIPAA compliant

Challenge: support business, avoid $1M+ data center build-out

Cloud payoff: automation of scale-up and scale-down, enabled contracts previously not possible

27

Example Use CasesMedia – social networking site

Web 2.0: Rails, MySQL

Challenge: scalability, agile deployment, automation

Cloud payoff: quick on-ramp, responsive to flash crowds, easy to clone for other projects

Software – version update site

Parallel updates for thousands of installations

Challenge: servicing frequent update efficiently

Cloud payoff: scalability for speed, cost-savings
