2. Today’s Agenda Introduction Defining cloud computing
The benefits of cloud computing
The state of the cloud in Canada
The future of the cloud

3. Who is Canadian Cloud?
We are a facilities-based cloud computing services provider
We have built our own cloud platform located in Canada and are delivering cloud services today to commercial clients
We are a member of the Communitech Accelerator Program
Founded in 2009
Moved in to the Communitech Hub in Kitchener in September 2010
Launched commercial service in January 2011
Member of the Canadian Digital Media Network
Our management team have 9 decades of experience in high-growth technology companies but this is our first start-up from scratch
Our management team has its roots in telecom, so we understand the meaning of the word “reliable”

4. Defining cloud computing: NIST
"Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on- demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.”
Essential Characteristics:
On-demand self-service
Broad network access
Resource pooling
Rapid elasticity
Measured Service
 Service Models:
Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS)
Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Deployment Models:
Private cloud
Community cloud
Public cloud
Hybrid cloud

9. Cloud has Multiple Delivery Models
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Use provider’s applications over a network
e.g. Provide applications
Built upon IaaS or PaaS platforms
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Deploy customer-created applications to a cloud
e.g. Provide web servers
Built upon IaaS platform
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Rent processing, storage, network capacity, and other fundamental computing resources
e.g. Provide bare-bones servers

12. Benefits of Cloud Computing
Reduce capital costs
Cloud computing removes the need to purchase hardware and software and replaces capital expenses with operating expenses
Increase quality of service
Clouds are usually located in a data centre where power, cooling and Internet connectivity are designed and maintained to meet strict reliability levels
Reduce implementation time
The cloud delivers a server up and running within minutes or hours instead of weeks or months
Increase flexibility
Cloud computing lets you change CPU, memory or storage as required.
Save money
Leave server operations and maintenance to the cloud provider, which reduces manpower costs

13. Canadian Competitive Overview
Canadian IT hosting market is highly concentrated
Top 15 companies have 80% of the market
Global public cloud computing providers (Google, Amazon, IBM)
Managed Service Providers
Data centre operators (Q9, PEER1, Bell)
The remaining 20% is split between 2,000 companies
Few direct Canadian competitors in cloud

14. Who Should be Concerned
Companies that have legal requirements
Medical
Banking
Companies that have regulatory requirements
Insurance
Financial
Companies that just want to sleep better
“at risk” groups
Cautious decision-makers

15. Most cloud legal issues are not new
Service level agreement
Qualify and quantify
Remedies are both contractual and legal
User access
Who has access to the data?
Regulatory compliance
Data recovery
What happens on exit or breach of service?
Investigative support
Are foreign service providers subject to local warrants/demands?
What resources does the operator have?

16. Some legal issues are unique to cloud
Data location
Where is the data located?
Who is aware of the data’s location?
Who controls the data’s location?
What jurisdiction applies?
Data segregation
Comingling of data
Security
Auditability
Software licensing
