Who do we believe?


The Evangelist


"These are crazy times,

these are wacky times, but

there has never been a

better time for

Cloud Computing”Marc Benioff

Chairman & CEO

j alpha


Low CAPEX & TCO, Predictable cloud

Pay as you go usage models Time to

value in weeks Rapid prototyping

Flexibility gains Central security &

compliance Automatic upgrades &

updates Easy to customize & use

No infrastructure Virtualized &

abstracted Federated, interoperable

Low risk, simple implementation No

physical or geographic limits

service oriented Low maintenance

scalability increased, self- service

The Pessimist


Cloud computing is

"worse than stupidity."Richard stallman

Founder

j alpha


Traditional IT resistance Encourages

business to operate as lone ranger

Data portability & interoperability

Provider trust & security Network

latency & availability IT, cloudy day

transparency Disaster recovery tbd

questions Data security & privacy

concerns Questionable regulatory control

Lack of audit, governance & security

accountability Questionable reliability

& performance Lack of management tools

Lack of integration with internal

infrastructure cloud, hypervisor failure

What can we do?


• Are they stable? How would we know?

• Who’s backing them financially?

• SAS70 certified?

• How is overall QoS measured?

• How will we communicate and escalate?

• Do SLAs really matter after our

reputation is shot and our customers

have moved to the competition?

Yes, On Demand is Demanding


But, the Cloud Case is

Compelling in response

to Crisis and despite

Communication &

Culture Challenges,

so . . .


Commence Cloud Construction


But keep in mind . . .


1. There’s a lot of hype; the cloud is not a panacea

2. XaaS is valuable, but not the only solution

3. There’s no need for radical change

4. Leverage Lessons Learned

a. Crisis presents opportunity

b. Culture is critical

c. Don’t underestimate Communication

5. Using Internet services in your architecture is wise

6. Heterogeneous environments are OK, common, & mitigate risk

7. You’ll likely end up with a hybrid cloud anyway

8. Insist on transparency

9. Governance & security strategies really do matter

10. Assess your business processes, culture, value of the cloud

CEO, CFO, CTO, and Timmy:

In the words of Elton John,

“The walls get higher every day

The barriers get in the way

But I see hope in every cloud”

More to come, when I pull my head out of the clouds . . .
