Cloud Computing -- SaaSSaaS -- Software as a Service • Examples -- Salesforce.com, LegalZoom, AM3 Technologies• SaaS provides a software package as a service over the internet and generally has a monthly or annual fee – Pay as You Go model

• SaaS Benefits Reduce/eliminate Pay to Own/lease software Automatic upgrades, generally Reduce application management costs Rapid scalability

Cloud Computing -- IaaSIaaS -- Infrastructure as a Service • Examples – AM3 Technologies Amazon Terremark • IaaS provides computer infrastructure, typically a virtualized computing platform delivered over the Internet/Intranet as a service

• You no longer purchase servers, software, data center space or network equipment, but instead you buy/rent those resources as a fully outsourced service.

• IaaS Benefits The service is typically billed on a utility computing basis Improve computer resource efficiency and pay for only what you need Automatic upgrades, generally Improve service provisioning and time-to-market

11AM3 Proprietary

Cloud Computing -- PaaSPaaS – Platform as a Service • Examples – VMware, EC2, Azure, Xen• PaaS provides a virtualized platform such as VMware to run servers, desktops and their associated applications and services.

• The selection of a PaaS provider should be decided based on the overall needs of your environment (basically what applications and operating systems you want to run) and the extensibility of the platform itself.

• PaaS Benefits Similar to IaaS and SaaS – Pay as you go A good PaaS provider allows for a large array of OSes and apps to be ran in the cloud

Green I.T.

Green I.T.

I.T. Energy Consumption

•EPA Report 109-431 states that by 2011, the cost to power a server over its 3 year lifespan will be 3 times the cost of the server itself.

• Cloud computing removes the server hardware from your physical environment and all associated energy and cooling costs.

AM3 Proprietary 23

Green I.T. Utilization Rates

• On average computers utilize only 10-15% of their computing resources.

• Cloud computing utilizes ~65-85% of its resources, creating a more efficient environment.

• This utilization rate allows a cloud computing environment to run the same services on less physical hardware, significantly reducing energy

consumption.

Green I.T.

The End of the Desktop Computer

• The average desktop computer consumes 85-100 watts of electricity and has a lifespan of 3-4 years.

• A Thin Client with attached monitor only consumes 13.2 watts of electricity and has a lifespan of 6-7 years.

• Cloud computing allows organizations to replace energy consuming desktops with Thin Client access points, reducing energy consumption by approximately 85%.

•AM3 Technologies is the only San Diego cloud computing provider specializing and offering virtual desktop infrastructure
