Abiquo presentation about Cloud Computing and AbiCloud for the Barcelona Enterpreneurs Day 2009

1. Cloud Computing?

2. Traditional server
1 server machine
1 application
Virtualization
Cloud Computing
1 server machine multiple
virtual servers 1 application
on each virtual server
1 cloud multiple virtual
servers multiple applications
& multiple networks multiple
storage

3. Traditional server
Individualized Virtualization
management
Cloud Computing
Global
management

4. Traditional server
Pay per
Virtualization
machine
Cloud Computing
Pay as you go
“only what you use & need”

5. Cloud Computing is a
technology that allows
converting IT
infrastructure into a
Service (IaaS)

6. Main Cloud advantages
Faster
Infinite
time to
scalability
market
Lower IT Business
costs Agility

7. Let’s create a new service!!!!!!!
“…For the new service we need:
-Buy New Hardware
-New software licenses
-New network devices
-Look for room in the DC
-Backups
-More power efficiency
-Refrigeration
-Train the team
-Support 24x7
-Availability 99.99%
…

8. Let’s create a new service!!!!!!!
… and I want it done
for
TOMORROW!!!!!!!!

9. ...now let’s see how would be in Cloud...
“…We hire Amazon,
We pay for the time we
use the servers, the
bandwidth consumed and
the public IP used.”

10. ...now let’s see how would be in Cloud...
“…and you have it
TODAY!”

11. People doesn’t want to pay for
“machines”, want to pay for
services.

12. AWS Services Main points
•Simple concept (it doesn’t mean it’s easy)
•Flexible
•Pay per use. There is no initial investment
•There is no commitment to stay
•Complete self-service

13. Who is offering this service now?
Public IaaS = Public Clouds

14. If we want to
leave AWS and
use another
Cloud provider
services, ¿can
we?

15. Yes, but you have
to adapt to each
cloud provider
features.

16. So….
¿do I have to
“get married”
with AWS?

17. … a little bit,
YES.

18. Cloud solutions are propietary
Propietary solutions
Based in open source solutions…
… but users cannot access the underlying open source solutions
Without control in product roadmap
¿what happens with my data?
¿Does it not exist the portability “concept”?

19. ¡I should have
known this
before!

20. Software to built IaaS Platforms

21. Software to built IaaS Platforms
• Built your own private cloud or …
• …if you are a hosting provider, you can resell the
cloud service using standard cloud software
• Enable inmediate scaling in your company
• Be able to have pre-production environment in
minutes
• Adapt your infrastructure to your business needs

22. One-click
Easy
Quick

23. If I want to
use another
Cloud
Platform,
could I?

24. Yes, but
among cloud
providers
using the
same
platform

25. has in roadmap to
allow the interoperability
between different Cloud
Platforms (AWS, Gogrid,
Abiquo…)
No vendor lock-in

26. Cloud Computing
Converts Infrastructure into a Service
Public Clouds Cloud Software
Offer the Infrastructure Offer the software to
as a Service convert IaaS
