Cloud Computing
A model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., servers, storage, networks, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
Cloud Computing
• on-demand*
• shared pool of computing resources
• rapidly provisioned
• minimal management effort
* differentiates from just data center/virtualization/shared storage
Typology
Drivers?

• Elasticity
• Expertise
• Infrastructure– Compute
– Storage
– Network
Implications
• Security/Privacy (legal restrictions)
• SLAs
• Deployment policy
(not so fast)
• BYOD
• IT workforce shift
