Proof of concept: George Favaloro poses with a 1996 Compaq business plan. The document is the earliest known use of the term “cloud computing” in print.

Technology Review tracked the coinage of the term back [...] to late 1996, and to an office park outside Houston.

Inside the offices of Compaq Computer, a small group of technology executives was plotting the future of the Internet business and calling it “cloud computing.”

Their vision was detailed and prescient. Not only would all business software move to the Web, but what they termed “cloud computing-enabled applications” like consumer file storage would become common.

For Compaq, it was the start of a $2-billion-a-year business selling servers to Internet providers.

Who coined “Cloud computing”?

Mainframeconcepts, but using modern

technology

IDC ResearchThe cloud has changed the fundamen­tal nature of computing and how business gets done and it will continue to do so through 2020. In fact, IDC predicts that by 2020 clouds will stop being referred to as "public" and "private" and ultimately they will stop being called clouds al­together. It is simply the new way business is done... IDC research also shows that the global cloud infrastructure is super­scaling and becoming the launch pad for infrastructure innovation and as a result, hardware vendors’ innovations are shifting to “cloud first”. 

IBMCloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing resources — every-thing from applications to data — over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis.

What is Cloud Computing?Google

By moving to the cloud, you free your team to focus on development, rather than maintaining servers. You can also save dramatically over the the high costs of on-premises infrastructure.

OracleCloud computing is a significant advancement in the delivery of information technology and services. By providing on demand access to a shared pool of computing resources in a self-service, dynamically scaled and metered manner, cloud computing offers compelling advantages in cost, speed and efficiency. Microsoft

Cloud is a once­in­a­generation technology advancement, and our customers are using the power of cloud to reimagine their businesses — whether by accelerating innova­tion, enabling new business scenarios, speeding time to market, or driving cost savings. 

PwCAgile companies are seizing opportunities around the cloud to create innovative new services and business models that decrease time to market, create operational efficiencies and engage customers in new ways. Cloud services are more than technology delivery paradigms [and offer] the potential to propel IT agility to new heights and fulfill the role of technology as a strategic enabler.

COMMON FEARS:

1. Security risk perceptions (privacy / confidentiality)

2. Risk of vendor lock-in

3. Risk of data access lock-out

COMMON UNCERTAINTIES:

4. Weak legal and regulatory frameworks

5. Technological complexity and technical competencies

6. Incompatibility with current infrastructure

COMMON DOUBTS:

7. Limited awareness among executives

8. Fear of change and job loss

9. Inability to quantify value

10. Concerns over long-term costs

Misgivings about the Cloud

...are best addressed by engaging with: “trusted partners”

1) Expanding Scale with Lower Entry-barriers● Users● Transactions● Computations● Data

2) Increasing Complexity + Consumability● Data and data management● Workloads● Discovering insights● Interaction

3) Accelerating Pace● Evolving business eco-system● Dynamic scalability● Minimize time to value● Pace of technology & globalization

4) Growing Contextual Overload● Proliferation of sensors/devices● The “Internet of Things”● Demand for personalization● Just in time deliveries

Global Mega Trends

TECHNOLOGY DRIVERS (mobility + social-networks + big-data + cloud) ARE:

...SO KEY FUTURE IMPERATIVES ARE TO CONTINUOUSLY:

a) Reinvent Business Models b) Grow Business Intelligence c) Integrate Risk Management➔ Seek an agile, simplified &

stream-lined enterprise.

➔ Balance growth & efficien-cy with business resiliency

➔ Develop capability to make better-informed decisions

➔ Build customer-centricity & profitable growth strategies

➔ Achieve compliance, mitigate risks, fight crime

➔ Optimise financial returns, job satisfaction, staff loyalty

About 70% of I.T. operating costs......are on management & administration of existing systems, not innovation!

The continuum of options for Cloud service-delivery

Private PublicIT capabilities are provided “as a service”, over an intranet, in-house and inside the corporate firewall

Software as a Service (SaaS):

• Collaboration• Analytics• ERP/SCM/CRM• Industry applications

Business-Process as a Service (BPaaS):

• Industry-specific processes• Employee benefits management• Business travel• Procurement

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):

• Servers• Storage• Network• OS, Virtualization• Dynamic provisioning

Platform as a Service (PaaS):

• Middleware• Database• Development tools• Web Application• Backup/Restore

Four major categories of Cloud consumption

The key “building-blocks” towards Cloud

Cloud computing has 5 key characteristics:

1.On-demand self-service 2.Broad network access3.Location independent

resource pooling4.Rapid elasticity5.Measured service

Cloud enables: Self­service  Sourcing options  Economies of scale Business flexibility & agility

Cloud represents: The industrialisation of delivery 

for IT supported services

Multiple cloud deployment models coexist:

Private, public and hybrid Workload or programming 

model–specific

Cloud Computing is an IT consumption and delivery model, that is inspired by consumer internet services and optimised by workload

Cloud addresses conflicting business demands
