What are Cloud Services

“Cloud computing is about how computing is getting done, not where it is getting done. The great promise of the cloud is that it will enable things to get done faster and more cheaply—by removing and hiding complexity.”

- Paul MaritzCEO of VMware

Let’s use a simple analogy

Say you just moved to a city, and you’re looking for

a place to live

You can either

Build a house or

Rent an apartment

If you build a house, there are a few

important decisions you have to make…

How big is the house?

are you planning to have a large family?

Remodeling and additions typically cost a lot more once the house is built

But, you get a chance to

customize it

Roof floor plan

landscaping

windows

lighting

Once the house is built,

you’re responsible for maintenance

Pay property tax

Electricity Water

Gutter CleaningHeating and Cooling House Keeping

How about renting?

Consider a builder in your city builds

a massive number of apartment units

A unit can easily be converted into 2,3,4 or more units

You make fewer,

simpler decisions

You can start with one unit and grow later, ordownsize

But…You do not have

a lot of options to customize your unit

However, builders provide you with

very high quality infrastructure

high speed Internet

high capacity electricity

triple pane windows

green materials

No need to worry about maintenance cost

No need to Hire landscapers,

electricians, plumbers

Why Cloud Computing?

Developers / Project Team

IT Admin

Developers and other users place high demands on IT…

“May we have an application server please?

Queues? Custom requests? Hardware acquisition? Individual approvals?

Solving the demand on IT

• Achieve the economics and agility of cloud computing without sacrificing security or control

• Customers can self-provision virtual servers from scratch or templates, eliminating wait times associated with hardware purchasing and setup

• Scale capacity as needed without purchasing more hardware or having idle equipment

Self-ServicePortals

Virtual Data Centers

Catalogs

vCloud Billing Methods

• Pay-As-You-Go - Resources are committed only when vApps are created, pay for only what you need. (Great for Test/Dev environments)

• Allocation Pool - Only a percentage of the resources you allocate are guaranteed. (Great for Tier 2 Applications that are important, but do not demand 100% committed resources 24x7)

• Reservation Pool – All resources you are using are guaranteed. Meaning CPU / RAM / Storage, and are not effected by other customers on the cloud. (Great for Tier 1 Applications that are business critical)
