Perceptions & Questions

Where the Rubber Meets the Road
A good proportion of the data center has leaked OUT of the data center
This particular genie will never go back
into the bottle
We will have to learn to live in THE CLOUD,
so how can we do that?
The Bloor Group
The Cloud Advantages
Zero capital investment / pay-as-
you-go
Very fast deployment of resources
Very fast deployment of software
Increasingly rich software ecosystem
“Standardized” (security, service
levels, etc.)
Cost
Extensibility
Increasingly versatile services

Going Forward
The question is not whether cloud adoption
will increase.
The question is whether your cloud adoption will be well-executed.
IT WILL

Questions
The Bloor Group
! How does load balancing work? How does Boomi scale, in practice?
