What are Cloud Services “Cloud computing is about how computing is getting done, not where it is getting done. The great promise of the cloud is that it will enable things to get done faster and more cheaply—by removing and hiding complexity. ” - Paul Maritz CEO of VMware

Let’s use a simple analogy Say you just moved to a city, and you’re looking for a place to live

You can either Build a house or Rent an apartment

If you build a house, there a few important decisions you have to make…

How big is the house? are you planning to have a large family? Remodeling and additions typically cost a lot more once the house is built

But, you get a chance to customize it flooring tile windows Roof lighting floor plan landscaping

Once the house is built, you’re responsible for maintenance Hire Landscaper Plumber Electrician Pay property tax Electricity Heating and Cooling House Keeping Water Gutter Cleaning

How about renting ?

Consider a builder in your city builds a massive number of apartment units

A unit can easily be converted into 2, 3, 4 or more units

You make fewer, simpler decisions You can start with one unit and grow later, or downsize

But… You do not have a lot of options to customize your unit

No need to worry about maintenance cost No need to Hire landscapers, electricians, plumbers

Cloud Computing Services • • • VMware v. Sphere 5 Based v. Cloud Director Interface (coming soon) Flexible Billing Methods Robust Datacenter Self Service or Fully Managed

Why Cloud Computing? Developers and other users place high demands on IT… “May we have an application server please? Developers / Project Team § § IT Admin Queues? Custom requests? Hardware acquisition? Individual approvals?

Solving the demand on IT • Achieve the economics and agility of cloud computing without sacrificing security or control • Customers can selfprovision virtual servers from scratch or templates, eliminating wait times associated with hardware purchasing and setup • Scale capacity as needed without purchasing more hardware or having idle equipment Self-Service Portals Catalogs Virtual Data Centers

v. Cloud Billing Methods • Pay-As-You-Go - Resources are committed only when v. Apps are created, pay for only what you need. (Great for Test/Dev environments) • Allocation Pool - Only a percentage of the resources you allocate are guaranteed. (Great for Tier 2 Applications that are important, but do not demand 100% committed resources 24 x 7) • Reservation Pool – All resources you are using are guaranteed. Meaning CPU / RAM / Storage, and are not effected by other customers on the cloud. (Great for Tier 1 Applications that are business critical)
