IT Infrastructure

• “The hardware, software, and telecommunication/ networking systems or equipment together provide the underlying foundation to support the organization’s goals.”

Cloud Computing/mobile device BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices)

The Network Is the Computer

• "Sun has always been very early, and often way too early with a lot of our ideas.

• For example, in the '80s we were preaching that the network is the computer.

• Shame on us for not summing it up in one word – cloud.“

– Scott McNealy

On the Cloud

• The cloud symbol is often used as a notation as a network in the a system architecture diagram.

Without Virtualization

• All require same power

• All emit same heat

• All require physical space

• Setup, (re-)configuration

• Maintenance, support…

Definition of Cloud Computing

• The NIST definition of cloud computing:

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

• The ability for end users to utilize parts of bulk resources and that these resources.

Characteristics of Cloud Services

NIST identifies several characteristics for a service to be considered “Cloud”:

• On-demand self-service: The ability for an end user to sign up and receive services without the long delays that have characterized traditional IT.

• Broad network access: Ability to access the service via standard platforms (desktop, laptop, mobile etc).

• Resource pooling: Resources are pooled across multiple customers.

• Rapid elasticity: Capability can scale to cope with demand peaks.

• Measured Service: Billing is metered and delivered as a utility service can be acquired quickly and easily.

Platform Continuum

• Bring your own machines, connectivity, software, etc.

• Complete control• Complete

responsibility• Static capabilities• Upfront capital costs

for the infrastructure

• Renting machines, connectivity, software

• Less control• Fewer

responsibilities• Lower capital costs • More flexible• Pay for fixed

capacity, even if idle

• Shared, multi-tenant infrastructure

• Virtualized & dynamic• Scalable & available• Abstracted from the

infrastructure• Higher-level services• Pay as you go

Technology drivers of infrastructure evolution

• Moore’s law and micro-processing power Computing power doubles every 2 years Contrary factors: Heat dissipation needs, power

consumption concerns Nanotechnology: May shrink size of transistors to width

of several atoms

• Law of Mass Digital Storage The amount of data being stored each year doubles

• Metcalfe’s Law and network economy Value or power of a network grows exponentially as a

function of the number of network members As network members increase, more people want to use it

(demand for network access increases)
