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
tileflooring
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 a LAMP stack, 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)
