Public Clouds Public clouds are “stand-alone,” or proprietary, clouds mostly off-premise, run by third party companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and others. Public clouds are hosted off customer premises and usually mix applications (transparently) from different consumers on shared infrastructure.
Private Clouds Private clouds are typically designed and managed by an IT department within an organization. A private cloud is usually built specifically to provide services internally to an organization. Private clouds may be in a collocated facility or in an existing data center. This model gives a high level of control over the cloud services and the cloud infrastructure.
Virtual private Clouds Virtual private clouds allow service providers to offer unique services to private cloud users. These services allow customers to consume infrastructure services as part of their private clouds.
Inter Cloud In long term the inter-cloud will emerge as a public, open, and decoupled cloud-computing internetwork, much like the Internet

Details about the various tiers make it easier to qualify and compare various
aspects of Data Centre availability
Tier 1 Basic: % Availability
Susceptible to disruptions from both planned and unplanned activity
Single path for power and cooling distribution, no redundant components (N)
May or may not have a raised floor, UPS, or generator
Takes months to implement
Must be shut down completely to perform preventive maintenance
Tier 2 Redundant Components: % Availability
Less susceptible to disruption from both planned and unplanned activity
Single path for power and cooling distribution, no redundant components (N+1)
Includes raised floor, UPS and generator
Takes up to six months to implement
Annual downtime of 22.0 hours
Maintenance of power path and other parts of the infrastructure require a processing shutdown

8. IOT Critical Impact on DC Design
Tier 3 Concurrently Maintainable: % Availability
Enables planned activity without disrupting computer hardware operation, but unplanned events would still cause disruption
Multiple power and cooling distribution paths but with only one path active, includes redundant components (N+1)
Takes 15 to 20 months to implement
Annual downtime of 1.6 hours
Includes raised floor and sufficient capacity and distribution to carry load on one path while performing maintenance on the other
Tier 4 Fault Tolerant: % Availability
Planned activity does not disrupt critical load and Data Centre can sustain at least one worst-case unplanned event with no critical load impact
Multiple active power and cooling distribution paths, includes redundant components 2(N+1), that is 2 UPS each with N+1 redundancy)
Annual downtime of 0.4 hours

9. IOT Critical Impact on DC Design
N Base Requirement - System meets base requirements and has no
redundancy.
N+1 Redundancy provides one additional unit, module, path or system
to the minimum required to satisfy the base requirement. The failure or maintenance of any two single units, modules or paths will not disrupt operations.
N+2 Redundancy provides two additional units, modules, paths or
systems in addition to the minimum required to satisfy the base requirement. The failure or maintenance of any two single units, modules or paths will not disrupt operations.
2N Redundancy provides two complete units, modules, paths or
systems for everything required for a base system. "Failure or maintenance of one entire unit, module, path or system will not disrupt operations".
2(N+1) Redundancy provides two complete (N+1) units, modules, paths
or systems. Even in the event of failure or maintenance of one unit, module, path or system, some redundancy will be provided and operations will not be disrupted.

Which Service Delivery Model?
Software as a Service (SaaS) Where application services are delivered over the network on a subscription and on-demand basis. Cisco WebEx™, Salesforce, Microsoft, and Google are a few providers in this layer.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) Consists of run-time environments and software development frameworks and components delivered over the network on a pay-as-you-go basis. PaaS offerings are typically presented as API to consumers. Examples of this are: Google Apps Engine, Amazon Web Services, force.com, and Cisco® WebEx Connect.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Is where compute, network, and storage are delivered over the network on a pay-as-you-go basis. Amazon pioneered this with AWS (Amazon Web Service), and now IBM and HP are entrants here also. The approach that Cisco is taking is to enable service providers to move into this area.

Unified Fabric – all links active (even redundant)
IaaS
Less Data Centres in Tenancies (trending to zero)
More converged networks in commerical data centres
Active Cable management
More SaaS – Office 365 – 5devices per user (phone, tablet, work laptop, home laptop, )
