The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Web Applications in the AWS Cloud - Jine...
Weighing the financial considerations of owning and operating a data center facility versus employing a cloud infrastructure requires detailed and careful analysis. In practice, it is not as simple as just measuring potential hardware expense alongside utility pricing for compute and storage resources. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is often the financial metric used to estimate and compare direct and indirect costs of a product or a service. Given the large differences between the two models, it is challenging to perform accurate apples-to-apples cost comparisons between on-premises data centers and cloud infrastructure that is offered as a service. In this presentation, we explain the economic benefits of deploying a web application in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud over deploying an equivalent web application hosted in an on-premises data center and highlight the 5 things to not forget while calculating TCO.

So You Need To Build A Private Cloud. What Now? Best Practices For Building Y...Dell World
Moving from infrastructure-centric IT to efficient, software-driven private or hybrid cloud requires more than gluing together knobs and gears. In addition to the infrastructure considerations, special attention needs to be paid to tying business workflows and organizational processes to IT processes to optimize application delivery and increase productivity for your users and customers. How you approach cloud-building to make it really usable by the business is the key to success.
Cloud computing refers to applications and services delivered over the Internet. It provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like servers, storage, databases and software that can be provisioned with minimal management effort. Major cloud service models include SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. The cloud computing market is growing rapidly with major players like Amazon, Microsoft and Google dominating different segments. Emerging services like STaaS, Daas and Caas are facilitating wider cloud adoption.
The document discusses the benefits of cloud computing across several industries and use cases. It outlines how cloud computing provides standardized, automated infrastructure that can quickly scale up or down on demand. This allows organizations to reduce IT costs, improve efficiency, and focus on their core business rather than infrastructure management. The cloud also enables faster development and deployment of applications and services.
Cloud computing is an on-demand service model that provides scalable and flexible IT resources over the Internet. Key attributes of cloud computing include pooled computing resources through virtualization, elastic scaling, flexible pricing where users pay only for resources used, and resources provided as a service. Cloud services are broadly divided into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides basic storage and computing resources, PaaS provides software development tools and runtimes, and SaaS provides complete applications to end users over the Internet.
Cloud computing is a model that enables convenient access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services. Resources can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort. Cloud providers deliver applications via the internet which are accessed from a web browser, while software and data are stored on remote servers. Common cloud services include SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. Clouds can be private, public, community or hybrid. Major advantages include flexibility, disaster recovery, automatic updates and cost savings. Top providers include Amazon, Microsoft, IBM and Salesforce. Government agencies and businesses are increasingly adopting cloud computing.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. For example, a cloud computer facility that serves European users during European business hours with a specific application (e.g., email) may reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North America's business hours with a different application (e.g., a web server). This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rackspace, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications.
Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.[1] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?

4. What is Cloud Computing?
• Simply put, cloud computing provides a variety of
computing resources , from servers and storage to
enterprise applications such as email, security,
backup/DR, voice, all delivered over the Internet. The
Cloud delivers a hosting environment that is immediate,
flexible, scalable, secure, and available – while saving
corporations money, time and resources.

11. Cloud Flavors?
• SaaS – Software as a Service
• IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service
• PaaS – Platform as a Service
• DaaS – Desktop as a Service
12. What is Software as a Service? (SaaS)
• SaaS is a software delivery methodology
that provides licensed multi-tenant access
to software and its functions remotely as a
Web-based service.
• Usually billed based on usage
• Usually multi tenant environment
• Highly scalable architecture
13. SaaS is not ASP 2.0
• The ASP model concentrated on providing an
organization with the ability to move certain
application processing duties to leased third-party
managed servers.
• ASPs were not necessarily concerned about
providing shared services to multiple tenants, but
rather hosting a dedicated application on behalf of
the customer.
• Most ASPs did not possess the required amount of
application and business knowledge regarding the
applications they were running.
15. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• IaaS is the delivery of technology
infrastructure as an on demand scalable
service
• Usually billed based on usage
• Usually multi tenant virtualized
environment
• Can be coupled with Managed Services for
OS and application support
16. IaaS is not Managed Hosting
• Traditional managed hosting is a form of
web hosting where a user chooses to lease
entire server(s) housed in an off-site data
center.
• Term based contracts based on projected
resource requirements
18. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• PaaS provides all of the facilities required to
support the complete life cycle of building
and delivering web applications and services
entirely from the Internet.
• Typically applications must be developed with
a particular platform in mind
• Multi tenant environments
• Highly scalable multi tier architecture
20. Deployment Models
Public cloud
• Public cloud (off-site and remote) describes cloud computing where resources are
dynamically provisioned on an on-demand, self-service basis over the Internet, via web
applications/web services, open API, from a third-party provider who bills on a utility
computing basis.
Private cloud
• A private cloud environment is often the first step for a corporation prior to adopting a
public cloud initiative. Corporations have discovered the benefits of consolidating shared
services on virtualized hardware deployed from a primary datacenter to serve local and
remote users.
Hybrid cloud
• A hybrid cloud environment consists of some portion of computing resources on-site (on
premise) and off-site (public cloud). By integrating public cloud services, users can leverage
cloud solutions for specific functions that are too costly to maintain on-premise such as
virtual server disaster recovery, backups and test/development environments.
Community cloud
• A community cloud is formed when several organizations with similar requirements share
common infrastructure. Costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud but more
than a single tenant.
21. Where is the Cloud Going?
• IDC's updated IT Cloud Services Forecast predicts that public
cloud computing will grow from $17.4 billion worth of IT
spend in 2009 to $44 billion by 2013. 1
• Additionally, Federal CIO Vivek Kundra has vowed to spend
$19 billion of U.S. government's $70 billion IT budget on cloud
computing.
• The five year growth outlook remains strong, with a five-year
annual growth rate of 26% – over six times the rate of
traditional IT offerings.

Public Cloud Only
23. Why Now?
• The acceptance and proliferation of hardware virtualization
and multi-tenant applications
• The Internet has become ubiquitous and an accepted method
of connecting providers with consumers
• ISPs/Telcos are offering robust, redundant and managed
corporate internet service enabling service consolidation
efficiencies.
• The cost verses risk equation has tipped toward shared
solutions
• Computing capabilities are being seen as a ongoing service
rather than an internal capital expense
24. The Reality
• Enterprises will be dragged kicking and
screaming through the gates of cloud
computing by the economy, consumers,
SMBs and emerging markets.
25. Build or Rent?
• The total cost of ownership to build and maintain datacenter
infrastructure includes both hard and soft costs.
• An accurate comparison requires knowledge of all variables
over the life of the project or hardware.

36. The Future of the Cloud in Alaska
• As for the strategic nature of the Cloud for the future of Alaska, location is
everything. We can draw a parallel to UPS and FedEx in their decisions to place a
major hub in Anchorage because of Alaska’s central proximity to the Pacific Rim,
Europe, and the US. National Cloud players such as Google, Microsoft, and
Oracle will see the value of our proximity in relation to latency speeds to serve
those markets. This will create a significant opportunity for Alaska to provide
large scale commercial datacenter services not just to Alaskans but to all of
these markets.
• This scenario is dependent upon the new undersea fiber projects that are in
various stages of implementation. These include linking Tokyo to London with a
spur into Alaska, along with another undersea cable project linking Alaska to the
Pacific Rim. The proximity of Alaska with these markets along with the
advantage of cooler temperatures and access to low cost energy will give Alaska
the framework for a new industry providing long term jobs and revenue for the
State.
• Cloud adoption is occurring very rapidly in the lower 48 now, collectively we
(Alaskans) need to have a strategy to keep these high paid technology sector
jobs in Alaska and over time, create significantly new opportunities for future
Alaskans to play a major role in this shift to utility computing services.
