Is it real,or is it adream ?

The Web the way it was meant to be !

What is Cloud Computing ?

“The Web the way it was meant to be !”

A cure-all solution

A universal panacea

A return to the mainframe

Obviously advantages in all cases!

The  Cloud  -­‐  what  is  isn’t  !

Social  Inclusion ✔

     Inherently  Green ✔

Reduces  Waste ✔

       Socially  Beneficial ✔

Poten4ally  :cking  all  the  boxes!

Cloud  Mythology!

Imposes performance penalties over PCs

Security substantially downgraded

Needs large scale investment

Just the same as Grids

Just a fad!

Cloud  Mythology!

Networking will by-pass hoarding

Optimise everything for sharing

Make everything a resource

Let users decide

Influence is more important than power

The  mindset  change!

Creativity is nowat the edge, outof control, open, & distributed...

…and now entering the workforce… - Any platform - Any OS - Any Application

- An entirely different expectation!

~20 years of living on line…..

And IT Dept’s then do this to them…

                                                                         We  don’t  do  this  any  more

   We  shouldn’t  be  doing  this!

Time  and  technology  –  waits  for  no  man!

If it is realit changeseverything…

Get  rid  of  all  this  –  it  ain’t  core!Others  can  do  it  far  beDer  and  far  cheaper  –  

achieving  greater  reliability,  resilience  and  QoS

Spot the problem...

~9 months Tech Cycle

~2.5 years Management Cycle

~5 years People Cycle

2 - 10 years Procurement Cycle

Some  headlines  you  will  never  see....  

Here are the keys:- Reliability- Resilience- Connectivity- Efficiency- Energy- Openness- Mobility- Two-way Bandwidth

We  are  good  at  building  ultra-­‐reliable  systems  from  dirt  cheap  components!

Unfortunately  the  same  cannot  be  saidfor  soXware  &  security....yet!

And  just  one  more  way  of  looking  at  The  Cloud…
