Departments and employees are likely using Cloud services more than you think

90% of Cloud activity is being driven by individuals and small teams

Unmanaged Cloud adoption is cause for concern related to privacy, security and corporate compliance

Pricing Factors• 3 factors that have the greatest impact on cost

o Compute - How many processing units and memory being usedo Storage - How much and what type of storage is deployedo Data Transfer Out - Outbound Data Transfer

• Typical pricing options

o Pay as you go - No minimum commitments or long term contracts required‐

o Pay less when you reserve - You can invest in reserved capacity and get a significantly discounted rate

o Pay less per unit by using more - You save more with more overall usage


Pricing ExampleTypical cost for Amazon Web Services for a small data warehouse environment with a 1 year commitment

• 1 Database Server (16 CPU units, 128 GB RAM, 6x200 GB Disk)o Compute Cost = USD 668 per Montho Disk Cost = USD 120 per Month

• 1 Application Server (4 CPU Units, 16 GB RAM, 300 GB Disk)o Compute Cost = USD 297 per Montho Disk Cost = USD 30 per Month

• Inbound Data Transfer Cost = Free • Outbound Data Transfer Cost = USD 90 per TB per Month• Amazon Support (optional) = USD 100 per Month or 10% of Billing


Physical Security

You don’t need to concern yourself with keeping people out of the data center, or access and background checks for staff

managing the hardware, as the Cloud provider takes care of these

security aspects


Network Security

The Cloud provider provides built-in firewalls and tools to define a Virtual Private Cloud

o A logically isolated environment with private IP Address range and Network Access Control Lists

o Security Groups to control access to inbound and outbound traffic

Bridge your VPC and your onsite IT infrastructure o industry standard encrypted VPN connection over interneto Private network connectivity between your data center

and provider network

Attach Public IP Address too Any server in your VPC so it can be reached directly from

the Internet

VPC


System Security

You can define individual user accounts, groups and roles to configure access to cloud resources

You can configure user identity with multifactor authentication

You can also integrate on premise corporate directories for access control


Data Security

Protect your data at rest Cloud providers have data encryption capabilities in storage and database serviceso Encrypt the underlying storage so everything get

encrypted automaticallyo Encrypt each piece of data as it’s stored

Protect your data in motiono Use encrypted communication channels

throughout your deployment. o Use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to

encrypt the data transfer between the client and cloud
