• On-Demand Self-Service• Broad Network Access• Resource Pooling• Rapid Elasticity• Measured Service• Delivered as:

• SaaS (Software as a Service)• PaaS (Platform as a Service)• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

NIST Cloud Reference Architecture

Some Key Points Nothing in the NIST definition or reference

architecture specifies the types of processors, servers, operating systems, or hypervisor/virtualization technologies

Public Sector agencies with large installed base of SPARC/Solaris systems have a clear path to SPARC/Solaris Cloud solutions

Oracle’s SPARC/Solaris Cloud technologies and services are already being used at several federal agencies
