Cloud computing is the fifth generation of computing that allows applications to be accessed from anywhere via the internet. It is projected to grow six times faster than traditional IT spending, reaching $42 billion by 2012. Key benefits include lower upfront and ongoing costs, easier application access, and improved datacenter utilization. However, security concerns, latency issues, and lack of control present barriers for some applications. Private enterprise clouds can provide cloud advantages internally while addressing barriers through server virtualization, availability, and control over resource allocation.
The document discusses emerging cloud computing technologies including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Database as a Service. It notes that IaaS is currently the fastest growing cloud service, with Gartner reporting 42.4% growth in 2012. Popular IaaS providers include Amazon Web Services, CloudStack, and OpenStack. PaaS offerings from Google App Engine, Heroku, and Amazon Elastic Beanstalk are analyzed in terms of their approaches and limitations. Best practices for adopting PaaS include considering application requirements, resources, data needs, and interactions beyond the platform.
The hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) market is entering a new phase of maturity. A modern HCI solution requires a private cloud platform that integrates with public clouds to create a consistent hybrid multi-cloud experience. During this webinar, NetApp and an IDC guest speaker covered what led to the next generation of hyper converged infrastructure and which five capabilities are required to go from hyper converged to hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Most organizations have heard of the cloud, but not everyone is at the same stage on their cloud journey. This SlideShare overviews how to best leverage the cloud, the multitude of options and the typical stages of transition. Also outlined are the steps you can take to get where you want to go on your cloud journey faster and more efficiently.
The document discusses the state of cloud computing, software-defined networking (SDN), and the software-defined data center (SDDC). It notes that the cloud is primarily a business model that provides cost reduction, agility, self-service, and scalability. Network virtualization enables the cloud by virtualizing servers, storage, and now networks. SDN can be defined academically as replacing routing protocols or industrially as centralized network management through software and APIs. SDN's influence will guide methodology over specific technologies as its meaning continues to evolve.
This document discusses trends in cloud computing platforms and provides guidance on cloud architecture. It notes that current views of cloud computing are too broad and lack definition of patterns and future directions. The document outlines reference architectures for migrating business systems to the cloud, including models for data, services, processes, and governance. It provides examples of multitenant architectures and general rules for building clouds, such as focusing on primitive services and leveraging distributed components with centralized control. The document emphasizes that security and governance are systemic issues that must be addressed for successful cloud architectures.
Modern apps and services are leveraging data to change the way we engage with users in a more personalized way. Skyla Loomis talks big data, analytics, NoSQL, SQL and how IBM Cloud is open for data. Learn more by visiting our Bluemix Hybrid page: http://ibm.co/1PKN23h
The document provides information about Engr. Jed G. Concepcion's background and experience in data backup solutions, cloud technology, and IT services. It includes details about his educational background, professional affiliations, certifications, and past work experience in engineering, teaching, and management roles. The document also contains sections about data backup concepts and best practices, different backup architectures, storage options, backup methods, and disaster recovery.
The document discusses network intelligence solutions for multi-cloud environments. It outlines challenges with lack of visibility, ownership and effectiveness of traditional monitoring in multi-cloud. ThousandEyes provides active monitoring from its global vantage points and agents to give insights into service delivery paths and performance across clouds and to external APIs. It highlights use cases where organizations improved cloud adoption, digital experience and mitigated risks using ThousandEyes multi-cloud network intelligence.

The document discusses best practices for cloud architecture. It notes that many current cloud systems lack proper architecture and do not meet expectations due to issues like inefficient resource utilization, outages, lack of security and tenant management. Common mistakes made are not understanding how to scale architectures, deal with tenants, implement proper security, or use services correctly. The document provides guidance on developing a solid cloud architecture, including determining business needs, designing with services in mind, creating security and governance plans, and migrating only components that provide value to the cloud. It emphasizes focusing on core services like data, transactions and utilities, and building for tenants rather than individual users.
Next Steps in Your Digital Transformation This session brings together all the lessons learnt throughout the day and shares with you practical advice on how to get started with, or accelerate, your journey to become a digital business.
IT leaders have long struggled with building software faster and cheaper. The use of containers allows companies like Netflix, Goldman Sachs, Google, and Capital One to create apps that delight customers and disrupt competition. Containers provide application portability and the ability to "build once and run anywhere", allowing for increased server efficiency, scalability, and the minimization of vendor lock-in. However, containers also present security and networking challenges that companies must address for successful enterprise adoption.
