2 What are the cloud questions. Most want to know: What is cloud computing and how does it work? What benefits can cloud bring to my organization? Can I depend on clouds to save my organization money? How will clouds affect the way my organization operates in the future? What risks must my organization manage? What are my next steps? 2

4 What is Cloud Computing? Cloud Computing is the dynamic provisioning of IT capabilities, whether hardware, software or services, from a third party via the Internet. Attributes Little or no capital investment required Variable pricing based on consumption; buyer pay per use Paid acquisition and deployment Lower ongoing operating costs Services that are programmatically controlled on-demand Loosley coupled set of services Services are elastic Services housed somewhere else 4

7 The drivers IT environments have grown increasingly complex, with many new issues requiring the attention of CIOs Technology is not the problem how it is applied, and how it performs is. Experience, solutions and methods exist they just aren t always used. Too much is being spent on old complex IT systems that are struggling to deliver competitive advantage. Walking away from existing large, complex, proprietary systems isn t feasible either. Evidence shows that organizations that invest in technology as a competitive advantage trump those that do not. Many do it without spending more. Users are more empowered than ever to get the technology and tools they need they simply download it off the Internet. 7

8 Companies are considering cloud for multitude of reasons Cost reduction Elasticity/scalability Speed to market High performance computing 8

9 IT leaders believe that within five years cloud will enable speed, flexibility, responsiveness and innovation. Today 2-5 years IT Leaders are looking to the Cloud IT Leaders are embracing the Cloud Source: Global Cloud Computing Survey, Accenture Institute for High Performance,

10 Cloud services are expected to grow rapidly and impact all areas of IT Zopa. Founded in 2005; calls itself the world s first social finance company. An electronic marketplace where people lend and borrow money with each other, sidestepping banks. Cloud-based. Oversaw more than $55 million of loans in Netflix moves its Web technologies to a chief rival s cloud, Amazon. Kevin McEntee, VP of Engineering, says switch was to focus our innovation around finding movies, rather than building larger and larger data centers... It s in their interest to make us successful in the cloud. That s why we felt comfortable. NASA uses Amazon servers to process large amounts of telemetry data coming from the Mars rover. On Amazon s peak holiday shopping day, Dec. 14, 2009, Kindle customers ordered more than 9.5 million items worldwide from the cloud, a record-breaking 110 items per second. On Dec. 25, 2009, customers ordered more Kindle books than physical books, for the first time ever. 10

12 IaaS Case Study IT & Telestyrelsen, Denmark The Danish IT & Telestyrelsen is by the government responsible for working to establish a digital world class infrastructure, so the Danes can communicate electronically when and where they want it.. Key benefits include: To accurately scale as needed and eliminate costs from excess capacity To meet future needs without having to make large investments To maintain a consistent user experience regardless of the load on the system Improved ability to adapt to change in business demand while remaining cost competitive ITST to focus on value-added services (not Infra) Pay per use (per hour) and cost savings Governmental security concerns of the data location were handled by using an IaaS service located in EU 12

13 SaaS Case Study Global Transport & Logistical company 1 2 A Danish-headquartered global leader in Transport & Logistics with operations in 50+ countries adopted cloud services to drive benefits within their marketing & sales function. Business challenge The company had grown rapidly through M&A, resulting in a non-heterogeneous IT landscape. One challenge (of many) were around the sales & marketing function that had multiple CRM systems across countries resulting in a poor service response to global customers. Key benefits include: Cost savings by consolidation of multiple sales systems into one standard global system Ease and flexibility of SaaS web-access Full customer insight (on a global level) Templates for common client communications Management reports and forecasts impoved Ability to improve sales incentive programs, using internal benchmarking, and leveraging good local approaches globally Migration to service-based model increasing ability to manage based on business requests Switch from CAPEX to OPEX based financing Improved ability to adapt to change in business demand while remaining cost competitive Better visibility into the sales pipeline to better align resources, improving client penetration Improved collaboration and data sharing, especially important for global clients and deals 13

14 SaaS Case Study Global Transport & Logistical company 2 2 Key take-aways Internal Knowing which business processes are transformational and/or provide competitive advantage Determining the master data implications and the key integration points between SaaS applications and on-premises legacy IT systems Understanding the iterative development process and the relationship with deeper integration requirements Outlining a plan for the security and risk management implications Defining how to make the solution scalable across the enterprise Align incentives and adapt to the culture (SaaS has a 80/20 rule to drive iterations) 14

16 Identifying cloud opportunities Easy Business Continuity (Storage) Extensive storage Backup and recovery Desktop Productivity Web 2.0 applications Workgroup applications Office suites and calendaring Software Development and Testing Software development and testing environment Performance Testing Non production projects R&D activities Reduced time to market Batch and Data Intensive Applications One-off applications that don t rely on real-time response Data and high performance intensive applications (financial risk modeling, simulation, data compression, graphics rendering ) New back-office applications Peak Load Demands New business activities Applications w/ peak-loads Seasonal websites Applications with Scalability needs Hard Legacy Specific existing infrastructure Complex legacy systems Sensitivity Mission critical applications Regulation-protected data (HIPAA, SOX, PCI ) Value to the Enterprise High Value 16

21 NGDC Vision: Current Data Center Evolution Path The IT world is shifting from a paradigm of management of complex technologies, to a paradigm of management of complex services. Some Data Center technologies in increasing maturation are driving this change. This is enabling the Cloud Computing paradigm that many Telco would like to achieve in order to manage IT environment as a Telco.

22 Cloud currently enables most popular Internet services Consumer Cloud examples One web search touches nearly 1,000 servers in the cloud, delivering you results in ½ second. Facebook currently stores 1.5B user photos; showing over 1M photos every 2 seconds Microsoft s Hotmail provides 5GB of storage to over 270M users Apple s itunes store provides a library of over 10 Million Songs to any ipod globally Business Cloud examples Salesforce.com provides Cloud based CRM services to 1.5M users Microsoft is providing entire enterprises with hosted and collaboration services Cisco acquired WebEx in 2007 to enable businesses to have online meetings. Amazon is providing cloud computing on demand though AWS 22
