We always try and find humor in IT with Dilbert.3 What is the Cloud? What is the cloud?

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data, software and computation.

Examples: Google Apps, GMAIL, shared file servers, iCloud, Amazon

Example Human Resources, Payroll, CRM (Salesforce.com) Website sales, website hosting4Cloud ProvidersPersonaliCloud DropBox

5Why use Cloud Providers?Cost Equipment cost, setup install,

Scalability quickly scale up or down

Pay for what you need

Allocate IT resources by department

Shift responsibility

1. Equipment cost, purchase cost from management time, maintenance cost, management cost, electric, power, UPS, parts 2. Scalability create servers for specific projects, as application increase in size need for more processors, memory, disk space (Gone are the days of putting a request in the storage admin, )

3. Pay for your need wish I could do that with my house, when at work de-allocate cost,

4. Break cost out by department

5. Shift responsibly I make widgets, I am not an IT expert 6Private Cloud vs Public CloudAmazon: poor mans public cloud

HP/Microsoft: Enterprise Public Cloud

GoDaddy: What type of public cloud is this?

How do we define these terms?

Integrated Cloud and research issuesPrivate cloud within the company internal network

Public cloud hosted within public company

7Cloud RequirementsReview your company needsEmail hostingApplication services Sharepoint, Financial AppsStorage capacity

What are you trying to accomplish? Or needs to be met?

Reduce your exposure and risk of security and responsibility for uptime.

8When to use a Private Cloud ?Company wants to maintain environment within the company network and maintains responsibility

Cost to move to the public cloud

Current infrastructure already in place Management nervous about moving to different public hosting environment, IT management like to responsibility

Cost of migration to the public cloud increases due to onetime migration costs

Larger organization that has the IT staff to support the private cloud

Or create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) containing your applications, libraries, data, and associated configuration settings.Configure security and network access on your Amazon EC2 instance.Choose which instance type(s) and operating system you want, then start, terminate, and monitor as many instances of your AMI as needed, using the web service APIs or the variety of management tools provided.Determine whether you want to run in multiple locations, utilize static IP endpoints, or attach persistent block storage to your instances.Pay only for the resources that you actually consume, like instance-hours or data transfer.

Ability to expandElastic Amazon EC2 enables you to increase or decrease capacity within minutes, not hours or days. You can commission one, hundreds or even thousands of server instances simultaneously. controlled with web service APIs, application can automatically scale itself up and down depending on its needs.

Previously, when working on IT projects. We had to write up the justification, purchase the hardware, IT would install the hardware, and user group would test. This is now minutes.

18Best Practices Cloud SecuritySecurity in depth - Firewalls active checking packets, - Network security isolation, intrusion detection, - virtual private network VLAN - Application security - Security review annual 19 SecurityAmazon EC2 includes web service interfaces to configure firewall settings that control network access to and between groups of instances.When launching Amazon EC2 resources withinAmazon Virtual Private Cloud(Amazon VPC), you can isolate your compute instances by specifying the IP range you wish to use, and connect to your existing IT infrastructure using industry-standard encrypted IPsec VPN. You can also choose to launchDedicated Instancesinto your VPC. Dedicated Instances are Amazon EC2 Instances that run on hardware dedicated to a single customer for additional isolation.
