3. Topics Define “cloud” and types of clouds
Abstraction levels (IaaS  PaaS  SaaS)
Service models (Private  Hybrid  Public)
Examples of key Vendors and Software
What is impact on IT Professional? Why should you care?
How can you prepare yourself for maximum impact in this Cloudy future?

4. What Makes a Cloud a Cloud?
FLEXIBLE, METERED USAGE
COMMODITY HARDWARE
The cloud continues trend from differentiated hardware towards smarter software – the software-centric data center
The cloud continues trend from differentiated hardware towards smarter software – the software-centric data center
HOMOGENOUS, Over-PrOVISIONED, “∞”
Highly automatED VMs
Generally speaking, a cloud is a pool of resources – like a smart phone, multi-tasking computer, or server farm – the next step
Self-Service

Cloud Computing & IT as a Service ….connecting the dots
Private and Public Cloud Computing: Better together?
Microsoft’s unique position in the industry
Available Today! Microsoft’s IT as a Service offerings & solutions
Private Cloud
An internal service-oriented IT environment optimized for performance and cost that is deployed inside a customer’s datacenter. Powered by products including Windows Server® and Microsoft® System Center family of products, private clouds are deployed to work with existing applications and new applications while using cloud principles like elasticity, scalability and chargeback proportional to use.
Public Cloud
A deployment model that provides highly scalable and elastic cloud services to multiple customers from Microsoft’s datacenters or other service providers’ (e.g. hosting partners, datacenters. Windows® Azure™ is a highly scalable cloud services platform delivered from Microsoft’s datacenters that provides pay–as-you-go flexibility in a public cloud deployment model.
Private Cloud - Public Cloud -
Private Cloud for the Enterprise
The private cloud is a new model of success for enterprises because it allows them to scale up as needed, quickly and cost-effectively while improving business capabilities with dynamic, flexible applications. Benefits include the ability to:
Deliver scalable applications and workloads.
Enable federated services across the full cloud continuum.
Manage the data center fabric as a single pool of resources.
Focus on the management of the data center service and its dependencies.
