Everyone is talking about Cloud
….a lot of noise, everybody has their own definition!
How I got to present here today … a conversation with my Cloud Head Techie• Me: I have a presentation on Cloud at an MIA event • Cloud Techie: MIA as in “Missing in Action”, So that is where
people go to go “Missing”• Me: No MIA as in Malaysian Institute of Accountants. • Cloud Techie: Oh! You the right person to talk about Cloud at
that event • Me: Why do you say that ? • Cloud Techie: Because the only thing you ask the techies, is how
much is going to cost and how much we an make money out of this ? Blah ! Blah ! Blah !
• Me: Yeah. I wonder how much is going cost you to have this conversation. OK, I need you inputs so give me what ever slides you have brother.
• Cloud Techie: OK Boss.
What is Cloud Computing ?
Cloud Computing is a style of delivering IT services to users without the need for the user to buy, install, manage or own any
infrastructure.
Everything will be delivered to you as a service – from computing power to business processes to personal interactions – wherever,
however, and whenever you need it.
Often characterised by:• Virtualised computing resources• Massive scalability/elasticity• Dynamic provisioning
• Multi-tenancy• Web-based User Access• Pay-as-you-go pricing
