Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing as a service, where shared hardware, software and information are accessed by devices as a utility

It’s an Evolution in technology, pricing and delivery for a “pay as you go” business model to purchasing or using computing

You’re already an expert and use it now!◦ Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, Instagram, Google Mail, LinkedIn

34.3% of the world is connected to the Internet and worldwide IP traffic will quadruple by 2015◦ 30 billion pieces of content were added to Facebook in the past month◦ 2 billion videos were watched on YouTube yesterday◦ The average teenager sends over 4 thousand text messages per month

By 2016, it is forecasted that there will be nearly 18.9 billion network connections―almost 2.5 connections for each person on earth― compared with 10.3 billion last year

The Green Agenda mandates we MUST become more efficient in our use of computing ◦ Electronic waste makes up five percent of all municipal solid waste worldwide and is the fastest growing

component◦ CO2 emissions of the IT industry exceeds that of the entire worldwide aviation industry and will grow 4.5X by 2020◦ IT emissions from data centers today account for almost 5% of the world’s carbon emissions ◦ Two Google searches create the same energy required to boil a kettle of water

Business models demand utility-based compute/storage as open systems enable applications growth

McKinsey found today’s Internet economy was 3.4% of overall GDP in the nations they studied

Start-up business plans are based on cloud technology, eliminating need for owned infrastructure

Software spending resulting from proliferation of smart technologies will increase by 25 percent◦ Previous “dumb” devices will have software embedded in them and be linked to the internet to send and receive data

The “mobile workplace” will enable decisions to be made in real time and reduce the need for location and time zone dependency

The rise of “Shadow IT”◦ IT is no longer “protected” in a closed environment, CIO’s have become business partners and not just technologists

Web Services/SOA—Web becomes the #1 dev platform◦ Rise of open sourced software, simple beats complex, heterogeneity rules

“Big Data” and next-gen analytics◦ Store, evaluate, analyze and monetize all of the information that’s being collected

Through 2015, 90% of enterprises will bypass broad scale deployment of Windows 8◦ Era of PC dominance is coming to an end with the proliferation of tablets, smartphones and “BYOD”

“Wearable” smart electronics will emerge as a $10 billion industry◦ Shirts, shoes, glasses, Fitness tracking, gps, worker productivity, targeted advertisements

Estimated that there will be 70 Billion app downloads every year by 2014 Estimated that 40% of world smart phone users will opt-in to context service providers that

track activities of our digital habits Mobile payments becomes a real player worldwide

◦ NFC becomes more widespread and we move past “early adopter” phase

By 2014, IT hiring in major Western markets will come from Asian companies Market consolidation will displace up to 20 percent of the top IT services

providers◦ Lower cost cloud services will reduce upwards of 15 percent of top outsourcing revenue◦ Global approach to staffing given the need for specific skills

In-memory computing growth through advent of cheaper flash storage◦ Violin Memory, FusionIO, SolidFire

By 2015, “big data” demand will create 4.4 million new jobs globally, but at the current pace only one third of those jobs will be filled

“Big Data” in the very early stages◦ IT will focus on developing analytics that enable, track and store data to predict decision making◦ Hadoop distributions, software, subprojects and related hardware, Next gen data warehouses and

related hardware;◦ Data integration tools and platforms, analytic platforms, applications and data visualization tools
