Cloud ComputingThe 4th Platform Shift?

• Confusion and skepticism abounds.. as always!- SaaS > Software as a Service

- PaaS > Platform as a Service

- DaaS > Dev/Deployment Environment as Service

- XaaS > X as a Service

• P4.0 - the most disruptive force in software industry and by extension, the hardware industry, the storage industry… the whole freakin’ technology industry since the Web

OLTP > PC > Web > Cloud

• Collaborative Dev, Instant Deployment, New Application Delivery and Integration Models.. Out of the Box! Now!

• Explosion of offerings at accelerating pace

Page 3: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

Cloud Computing EnablersA Perfect Computing Storm!

• Server Virtualization… From one, let there be many!

• Grid Consolidation… From many, let there be one!

• Ubiquitous Fast Network Availability… WiFi, 3G, WiMax, FIOS, Hi-Speed Cable

• Standard Interactive Rich Client… JavaScript, AJAX, DHTML, CSS… Desktop / Laptop / SmartPhone

• Open Source Development Tools Everywhere… Components, Widgets, Libraries (mootools, jstween, jquery, etc)

• IT Automation and MegaScale Management!… Automatic Deployment, Metering & Billing

Cloud Computing for Dummies:Landry’s Simple Usage Model

• Amazon S3- If you bought a book, you have an S3 ID

- Keys and Buckets – not for dummies!

• Jungle Drive- Sets up J: “Local” drive on Windows / Mac / Linux File System

(WebDAV) that’s really on S3

- Drag and Drop / File Save As / Copy-Paste / Access Control

- Web Access to Files / Block Moves (Advanced Features)

• GoodSync by RoboForm (still a good idea!)- Syncs files between Local Drive and Jungle Drive

- Access Control / Sync Settings by Folder Groups

• Photo’s, Docs, Music, Vids all in one safe secure place… or in every place… and all accessible from the Web for virtually no money~!

The Cloud Stack: A Useful Taxonomy

• Infrastructure:  the core computing resources and network fabric for the cloud deployment

• Platform: the software infrastructure that allows sys admins and developers to deploy an app to the cloud

• Services: additional services that can be woven into the cloud app, such as billing, storage, integration

• Applications: the ultimate cloud product - the actual cloud based application that the user touches.

..a better, faster, cheaper CDN?

“Amazon CloudFront has no upfront commitments - you only pay for what you have used. There are no upfront

fees or high volume requirements and no

negotiations are necessary because we have published low prices from the start.”

“Amazon CloudFront builds further on that seamless integration by making it

really simple to distribute Amazon S3 content world-

wide”

..the utility bill

Page 14: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

…not the poor stepchild anymore

AWS trades heavily on the fact that Amazon itself is the biggest customer. "We tend to build the things people are asking for internally," Jassy says.

And the idea that AWS is mostly about wringing extra bucks (especially off-season) out of Amazon's data centers? "We've far exceeded the excess capacity of our internal system," Jassy says. "That ship sailed 18 months ago."

For a company at which operational data is a state secret, that's a telling detail: AWS is now big enough to be piling up its own silicon.

… the full Monty vision

Page 16: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

Google… cute apps for the masses?

And there's the real disruption. Instead of building cute apps and ladling them out to the masses — the Google and Microsoft model — Amazon is delivering silicon power to the people.

Bezos is fueling a flotilla of nimble, aggressive entrepreneurs, including frontier types chafing inside gilded prisons like the Googleplex.

For them, AWS is a launch pad, not just for the next million Facebook apps, but also for personal live TV channels, virtual desktops, pay-by-the-mile auto insurance, and no doubt plenty of things no one has thought of yet.

Page 18: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

..is it all too simple?

• Millions of CPUs, dozens of data centers, customized Red Hat Linux• Google File System (GFS)

- Index split and replicated; data split into "shards" and replicated

• MapReduce for massive data queries (1,000+ servers)• Global Work Queue

•Google AppEngine

• Simple Storage Service (S3)- $0.15/GB/month; similar cost for data

transfers• Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

- Amazon Machine Image (raw and VM); $0.10/hour for small server

• Customer Examples:- SmugMug: up to 750 VMs, 400TB- Zillow: 500 servers and 4TB for 3 weeks- Animoto, Sonian, TwinStrata, Akiba

…and will the VCs fund…

Page 20: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

Maybe I’m an idiot, but…

“ I can’t think of anything that isn’t cloud computing with all of these announcements” ______ said.

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about. What is it? It’s complete gibberish. It’s insane. When is this idiocy going to stop?

We’ll make cloud computing announcements. I’m not going to fight this thing. But I don’t understand what we would do differently in the light of cloud computing other than change the wording of some of our ads. That’s my view.”

..still a dinosaur

• But what I'm asking today is whether you have changed your opinion. Do you think that Microsoft is still a dinosaur?

• Benioff: I think Microsoft is still a dinosaur. More than ever, it tries to hold onto its monopolistic position around technology that they hold, whether it's SQL Server, whether it's NT, whether it's Windows, whether it's Office--these are their cash cows they don't want slaughtered.

…Looking at the cloud thru Windows?

• Red Dog? Pink Poodle? Azure?

• Srivasta coaxed Dave Cutler, the father of Microsoft’s NT operating system, out of “semi-retirement,” and began assembling a core team of engineers. Because of Srivastava’s and Cutler’s pedigrees, the team consisted primarily of “Windows guys.”

• So how do you turn a bunch of Windows guys into services guys? Mary Jo Foley 2/23/09 ZD-Net

5-10 Years?

• What we announced today was much broader than anything anyone has tried before," says Microsoft Senior Vice-President Robert Muglia.

• Gartner analyst David Mitchell Smith says "this is much bigger than NT. It is a tremendously broad and ambitious strategy. This is clearly about more than just competing with Amazon.“

• But it will be a long time before any of Microsoft's plans come to pass. "Realistically, you're talking about five to 10 years" before Azure's full impact is felt, said Muglia. So far, all it has done is give programmers at the conference some software tools to begin experimenting with Azure. Actual services won't begin to roll out until 2009

Page 27: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

..it’s all about margins?

"I'd be surprised if no one else does this," he says, pausing for effect. "It's a really good idea!" And there may be an ace up his sleeve.

Any economist will tell you that a commodity business — storing and processing data, for instance — is a mug's game, with prices that plunge inevitably toward the cost of production (in the case of bits, pretty close to zero). That's music to his' ears. "Commodity businesses don't scare us," he says. "We're experts at them. We've never had 35 or 40 percent margins like most tech companies.

Clouds & Open Source

• Berquist said: "With cloud computing the operating system and the infrastructure is managed and paid for by the vendor rather than by the customer.

• "The more we move towards cloud computing, the more that rewards open source because the cloud software vendor can not afford to pay for software for say 25,000 server CPUs.

• "They will go towards open source and in many cases self support. People can not afford to spend the money that would be necessary in the old client to server model.

• "It can be 10 times cheaper than relying on the commercial guys.“

..and what about hardware?

• Dell is projecting, in fact, that 35 per cent of x64 server sales could be driven by high performance computing, service providers, and these hyperscale distributed computing deployments within the next three years.

• …the differences in the ways that search engine companies implement their code to distribute data and queries across their machines will drive the architectural choices Dell helps these companies make. Different search engines get slightly different, but still custom, boxes

..the death of hardware?

• Manufacturers like IBM and Sun are struggling to move to the new model. Sun already offers an online rental system and expects to keep selling hardware. "We've got to be the infrastructure," says Greg Papadopoulos, Sun's chief technical officer. If you can't be them, arm them.

..they’ve got the power!

Project 02: The DallesOregon Data Center68K Sq Ft

Google: 450,000 Servers! 105+ Mwatts

Google Data Centers power needs equivalent to San Francisco

Operational Competency & cheap power is key cloud-dominance

..and upstream on the Columbia, Microsoft and Yahoo have contracted for 95MW

..and MS announced plans for data centers in Siberia and Dublin, Google in Lithuania and Dublin, and AT&T for couple in Shanghai

Page 38: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

Google.. It’s special?

• …it is now the norm for Google to construct its data centers by piecing together intermodal shipping containers pre-packed with servers and cooling equipment. In 2003, Google filed for a patent on this sort of modular data center, and the patent was granted last October.

• If Google can leverage an extra five degrees centigrade from Intel, it can save a few penguins - and some serious cash. According to Data Center Knowledge, Google runs at least 36 data centers across the globe, and several more are under construction.

• Intel also customizes power saving motherboards for Google - a service not afforded other customers.

Page 39: John Landry at Mass TLC Feb09

Intel gets it…

• Intel says that by 2012, Mega Data Centers run by the likes of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook will account for 20 to 25 per cent of its server chip sales. Unless the economy is still melting… currently 10%

• Focused on optimizing server hardware and software for use in any "shared, dynamically-scalable resource pool.“

• Economics are different: you get so much scale that the cost of labor becomes [much smaller]. And what you're left with is that about 50 per cent of the total cost of ownership...is the cost of the compute infrastructure - server and storage - and about another 25 per cent is the cost of power.“

• The company has even reorganized itself to create a single organization dedicated to cloud fluffing. Its new high-density compute organization is building lower-power, high-density servers. It's fashioning containerized data centers that run at higher temperatures and consume far less power. It's optimizing code.

… but is Apple the sleeper cell?

• the iPhone can easily sync applications such as e-mail, contacts, calendar, music and video content. It is estimated that there have been 600 million downloads of iTunes making it the most successful app in history

• the iPhone fills as hub of users' digital lifestyle. The proof is in the numbers: Apple recently reported that over 100 million applications have been downloaded from the AppStore site.

..and live from the PDC

• For example, Muglia points out that Microsoft can run e-mail programs for corporate customers in its own data centers for a fraction of the cost of customers running the systems themselves. That can free up capital spending dollars and allow staffers to focus on more critical jobs.

• Lubor Ptacek, an executive at software maker Open Text, which helps companies keep track of various types of information, plans to advise customers to let Microsoft archive older records at its data centers. "In this economy, companies still need to keep their content, but they don't have the money to spend on fancy new storage systems," he says.

Using S3 to Avoid VC

• Amazon's developer-customers reap several advantages. Capital efficiency is one. (Trendy Mountain View- and Delhi-based startup SlideShare cheekily dubbed one of its presentations "Using S3 to Avoid VC.") Another is instant scalability. AWS users can add or delete server and storage capacity without getting up from their Aerons.

..invest in apps? Amazon, Google, Apple?

• That's not Amazon's only edge. Chasing those fat margins, both Google and Microsoft are building their own Web apps — the same market indie developers can enter on the cheap using AWS.

• Sergey and Larry will gladly toss you the API for Google Earth — but if you're building a better mapping app, Amazon is your place. And even if Google or Microsoft eventually does embrace utility computing, would anyone building, say, a better search engine want to park their code in Mountain View?

• As VC Fred Wilson suggests, "Amazon is out-Googling Google."
