IT infrastructure is reaching a breaking point.
85% idle
In distributed computing
environments, up to
85% of computing
capacity sits idle.
Consumer product and retail
industries lose about $40
billion annually, or 3.5 percent
of their sales, due to supply
chain inefficiencies.
33% of consumers notified
of a security breach will
terminate their relationship
with the company they
perceive as responsible.

Explosion of information
driving 54% growth in

every year.
1.5x 70¢ per $1
70% on average is spent
on maintaining current IT
infrastructures versus
adding new capabilities.
There are major forces of change at work,
affecting business and IT
Our world is smaller and flatter but it’s about to become more…
INSTRUMENTED
INTERCONNECTED
INTELLIGENT
Increasing access, globalization
and risk
Increasing devices and opportunity
for innovation
Increasing data and the use of technology
to capitalise on change
CEOs see an environment of unrelenting change, as well as opportunities to think
smarter - - economically, socially and technically.

• IDC forecasts the cloud computing services market to grow at a CAGR of 27 percent from USD 16.2 billion in 2008
to USD 42 billion in 2012. On the other hand, Gartner expects the worldwide cloud services revenue to cross USD 56.3
billion in 2009 to USD 150 billion by 2013.
• IDC estimates the traditional IT spending to grow at a CAGR of 7 percent to USD 494 billion in 2012 from USD 383
billion in 2008. Thus, the forecasted growth rate of cloud spending is six times that of traditional IT spending.
Size and Growth
By 2011, the world will be 10 times more instrumented then it was in 2006.
Internet connected devices will leap from 500M to 1 Trillion.

USE CASES
USE CASES
17 Security and Cloud Computing
Compliance
Complying with PCI DSS
and other regulations may
prohibit the use of clouds for
some applications.
Reliability
High availability will be a key concern. IT
departments will worry about a loss of
service should outages occur.
Control
Many companies and governments
are uncomfortable with the idea of
their information located on systems
they do not control.
Security Management
Even the simplest of tasks may be behind
layers of abstraction or performed by
someone else.
Data
Migrating workloads to a shared
network and compute infrastructure
increases the potential for
unauthorized exposure.
Categories of Cloud Computing Risks
Providers must offer a high degree of
security transparency to help
put customers at ease.
Authentication and access
technologies become increasingly
important.
Mission critical applications may
not run in the cloud without
strong availability guarantees.
Comprehensive auditing
capabilities are essential.
Providers must supply easy controls to
manage security settings for application and
runtime environments.

“I prefer internal cloud to IaaS. When the service is
kept internally, I am more comfortable with the
security that it offers.”
“Security is the biggest concern. I don’t worry
much about the other “-ities” – reliability,
availability, etc.”
“How can we be assured that our data will not be
leaked and that the vendors have the technology
and the governance to control its employees from
stealing data?”
Security Remains the Top Concern for Cloud
