,Cloud Computing in a Military Context Beyond the Hype,Tom GreenfieldDISA Office of the CTOEmail:tom.greenfielddisa.mil703.882.1394,2,Gordon Bell Quote,Every decade a new,lower priced computer class forms with new programming platform,network,and interface resulting in new usage and industry.,3,What is Cloud Computing?,Multiple Choice:Cloud Computing isA way to access applications hosted on the web through your web browser(Software as a Service-SaaS)A pay-as-you-go model for IT resources accessed over the Internet(Platform as a Service PaaS)Use of commodity computers,distributed throughout an internet,to perform parallel processing,distributed storage,indexing and mining of dataGartner:“Cloud computing is a style of computing where massively scalable IT-related capabilities are provided as a service across the Internet to multiple external customers”An IT buzzword that assures potential clients that your product is on the cutting edge of technologyAll of the above,4,Common Cloud Themes,Theyre big massively scalableAlways there when you need them on-demand,dynamicOnly use what you need elastic,no upfront commitments,use on short term basisOut there on the network somewhere accessible via Internet,location independentTransparent complexity concealed from users,virtualized,abstractedService oriented easy to use,SLAs,accessible,Simple MetaphorLike Power Company,Better MetaphorCooperatively OwnedSemiconductor Fab,5,IT Trends enabling(and driven by)Cloud Computing,Increased ParallelismNew Moores Law-2X processors per chip generationParallel software industries emerging to address challengesRedundant networks and storage increasing performanceIncreased VirtualizationProcessing,Storage,Bandwidth,DeliveryCommodity ComponentsX86 servers,consumer hard drives,ethernetOpen Source SW Freedom to customize and adaptIncreased Outsourcing of Core Elements“By 2012,80 percent of Fortune 1000 companies will pay for some cloud computing service,and 30 percent of them will pay for cloud computing infrastructure.”Gartner,6,Commercial Cloud Formation,7,Cloud Deployment Models,Deployment Models:Internal(private)cloud.The cloud infrastructure is operated within the consumers organization.Community cloud.The cloud infrastructure is jointly owned by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns(e.g.,mission,security requirements,policy,and compliance considerations).Public cloud.The cloud infrastructure is owned by an organization selling cloud services to the general public or to a large industry group.Hybrid cloud.The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds(internal,community,or public)that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability.,NIST working definitions,8,Business Case for Cloud Computing,Automation/On-Demand=Better,Faster&CheaperMoving from hand crafted software to repeatable assemblyReuse of interchangeable componentsRepeatable processes with increased automation&collaborationDivision of labor let developers focus on new softwareEase of use abstract complexity out of developers livesAvoid over&under provisioning CAPEX outlaysData Intensive ComputingAbility to index and make sense of large data sets parallizationPre-format data in large repositories for low BW transmissionsBetter access to data with large multi-tenant distributed cloud databasesDefault backup and most cost effective archival of large data sets.Accessibility=Any time,any place,any deviceCloud serviced clientsLeverage low cost compute cycles and assured data storage in the cloudCommunications is pacing factorChallenge is to balance platform agnostic vs.end point device

Value of“our”CloudClouds Exhibit Network Effect,More participation increases value of the system to everyone More indexed data=greater opportunity to uncover patterns&make connections More participation in collaborative SW development=increased contributions of reusable code More design interactions=more seamless interfaces and lower friction processes More use=greater statistical multiplexing of loads=increased ability for surge computing More use=more machines=better economies of scale,
