Working Definitions of Cloud Computing points to improved business agility benefits Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction

A style of computing in which massively scalable IT-enabled capabilities are delivered “as a service� to multiple customers using Internet technologies

A standardized IT capability (services, software, or infrastructure) delivered via Internet technologies in a payper-use, self-service way

This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models info@quontrasolutions.com 7

Cloud solutions need to meet some key characteristics  On-demand selfservice  Ubiquitous network access  Location independent resource pooling  Rapid elasticity

 Shared infrastructure  Advanced Virtualization  Multi-tenancy  Lower time to value

 Measured service

Inability to meet these characteristics will reduce the benefits harnessed from cloud computing info@quontrasolutions.com

Cloud technology adoption can be categorized under three major delivery models  Business Process as a Service (BPaaS)  Software as a Service (SaaS)  Platform as a Service (PaaS)  Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)  Other Delivery Models – Database as a Service – Government as a Service – STorage as a Service – Information as a Service Identity as a Service be– considered “cloud”

– E-mail as a Service – ERP as a Service – TAX as a Service – DEsktop as a Service

To they must be deployed on top of cloud infrastructure that has the key characteristics 9

Cloud technology adoption falls under different deployment models  Private cloud –enterprise owned or leased

 Community cloud –shared infrastructure for specific community

 Public cloud –Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure

 Hybrid cloud –composition of two or more clouds

Two types: internal and external 11

Cloud computing implementation has some common characteristics  Massive scale  Virtualization  Free software  Autonomic computing  Homogeneity  Geographically distributed systems  Advanced security technologies  Service oriented software Some of these characteristics will be limited when implementing private clouds 12
