Notas del editor

  1. Why are more and more businesses choosing Cloud today?It’s benefits make it an often “irresistible choice”Public cloud offerings built on automated, multi-tenant platforms offer incredible access to on-demand compute resource– this means increased speed to deploymentThe pay-per use utility model of cloud allows businesses to make better use of their resources and to save money
  2. Touch on the various forms Public, Private, Public is hotel, Private is company that owns hotel
  3. Future of cloud?  Get on board, or get run over.-- Almost all computing will be on the cloud in the long run -- as in,say, 50 years.  The cost savings and the gains in productivity and innovation are already compelling.  And adoption will accelerate as some of the technical obstacles around security and reliability get addressed.  But as a famous economist [Keynes] once said, in the long run we're all dead.  What's the future of cloud computing in the next few years?-- Adoption is rising rapidly right now.  At Rackspace, our cloud business grew to $50 million last year, and 60,000 customer, from almost nothing.  Among the SMB customers who are your bread and butter, and ours, I think cloud adoption will reach 90% within five years.  Let's look briefly at what's driving that trend.
  4. AnimateLow cost, highly scalable, building block elements of computeVmware based; dedicated hosts; traditional HA architectures
  5. For exampleFor SaaS companies, utilizing cloud hosting can offer substantial financial and technological advantages compared with traditional dedicated solutions, especially in this economic climate.
