The emergence of cloud computing is a major permanent change to the information services market, is central to the evolution and transformation of IT services
Cloud computing represents a major change in information technology architecture, sourcing and services delivery, by giving business on-demand access to elastic, shared computing capabilities
Cloud Computing is changing in how business purchase, deploy, and support IT services, and offers significant opportunities to expand and enhance their services to customers
Ongoing IT industry disruptions will result from the deployment of cloud computing as an alternate sources of supply for products and services For enterprises in the information services business -- as well as IT vendors, services providers, and their suppliers -- cloud computing is the new basis of competition Cloud Computing is a disruptive force comparable to emergence client/server architectures 25 years ago. Enterprises must act to manage risks and taking advantage of emerging services. Businesses that cannot establish a position in the market by leveraging cloud computing, may face increasing competitive pressure from challengers
Enterprises that adopt cloud computing delivery models have the potential to fundamentally re-shape the broader business landscape

Cloud computing has been subjected to significant marketplace confusion. To demystify cloud computing services, clearly define what cloud is, and what it is not...
Cloud is
on-demand
Clouds can provide an almost immediate access to a IT applications and services, platforms, or a pool of hardware resources (compute, network and storage) that can be allocated and provisioned on-demand
The key characteristic of a cloud service is the ability to dynamically provision and de-provision applications, compute, memory, and storage resources, and to be able to seamlessly scale services (up or down)
pay-as-you-use
Vendor-provided cloud solutions do not require upfront capital investments by the buyer. Billing is tied to metered use of resources, shifting expenses from CapEx to OpEx.
Cloud is not
simply virtualization just applying SOA principles traditional hosting
While many cloud solutions, both public and private, leverage virtualized infrastructure resources to deliver functionality, cloud raises the bar by providing on-demand provisioning. Publicly-announced private clouds are essentially an aggressive virtualization program on top of the traditional enterprise IT stack Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a set of design principles, whereas cloud is a service. Cloud based services will be defined and enabled through SOA. As such SOA is a prerequisite to reap cloud computing benefits. However, following SOA design principles alone does not guarantee the ability to easily transition to a cloud based solution Cloud and traditional hosting share many characteristics but unlike traditional hosting cloud service is offered ondemand, is scalable and elastic a user can have as much or as little of the service as they need and pay for the resources actually used
Cloud computing offers increased agility through faster time to market, lower upfront IT capital expenditure and the ability to easily scale up / down and reallocate resources

Potential Cloud-based applications include analytics, leveraging non-traditional data structures to achieve high scale and rapid results
Datasets used in business can grow very large because they are increasingly being gathered by ubiquitous information-sensing mobile devices, software logs, cameras, microphones, wireless sensor networks, etc. Data analytics workloads are computationally intense. The computing environments needed to perform analytics can require significant capital investment using traditional approaches, so many enterprises do not incorporating analytics into their business. Because it is horizontally scalable, cloud computing is well suited to the very large datasets typically used in analytics applications. Horizontal scalability is achieved by adding more computers to a cloud computing architecture, allows them to achieve aggregate computing power many times greater than traditional systems. A variety of new database technologies is now available to support these NoSQL data sets, such as those powering Google, Facebook, Amazon, and others. In cloud computing, NoSQL database management systems differ from classic relational database management systems, and may not require fixed table schemas, avoid join operations and typically scale horizontally.
The combination of horizontally scalable cloud computing architectures and NoSQL database technologies allows for dramatically improved data analysis capabilities.

Cloud Considerations
Enterprises should consider several dimensions when evaluating strategic options for applications and services to be delivered through cloud computing
Considerations For Building a Cloud Strategy
Technology
Do the workloads exhibit characteristics that can derive real benefits from scalability and elasticity? Will the application be built to run on a cloud supported platform (e.g., commodity hardware, supported OS) Can the application components be architecturally designed to be suitable for deployment to a cloud based solution? What design trade-offs will be needed to make this application cloudready?
Operational
What are the availability requirements for this application and can those be met by cloud? How will support model for this application change if it is moved to the cloud? Are the potential changes acceptable? How will cloud impact my chargeback model for this application? Can I support the new model? Will business accept the changes? Can cloud meet my business continuity and disaster recovery requirements for the application? Is the vendor limiting interoperability or access to your data?

To successfully make the transition, enterprises must address key operational and governance issues during the adoption of cloud computing services models
Cloud Operational and Governance Issues
Can you meet needs for legal compliance and tax issues?
IT Operations
What IT services and applications are best suited for the cloud? Are internal IT architecture and organization structures ready?
IT Readiness
Alignment with Enterprise Risk and Governance strategy will help organizations address the operational hurdles to cloud adoption

What are the near term business benefits of comprehensive Cloud Strategy?
Significantly increased flexibility: reduced time to design, implement, and go to market with cloud-based software systems
Cost Savings: reduced CapEx, at a lower amortized cash flow, using subscriptions
Reduction in total costs of software licenses and ongoing maintenance costs, through use of SaaS subscription models rather than on-site licensed software Reduced physical infrastructure costs by moving to vendor cloud IaaS: reduced hardware, networking, data center, facilities, power, etc.
By introducing cloud products and services into the complex IT architectures, you will be positioned for the major changes to reap the benefits of cloud
Enterprises that adopt cloud computing delivery models have the potential to reshape their competitive position and the broader business landscape

Establish new IT application and technology architectural principles and standards which are necessary to reap cloud benefits.
Revisit current major system architecture and design principles and evaluate fit with cloud suitable design concepts Understand the timing of major system software architecture changes, and plan for adjustments to enable cloud friendly application delivery models Identify new usage models, considering new options for SaaS, IaaS encapsulation, mobility apps, and Big Data analytics, to enable highly efficient and flexible products and services Quantify the benefits that cloud will bring to your company, while assessing all affected roles and functions to gauge organizational and business impacts and risks
New cloud software is fundamentally different, and improvements to legacy software often require complex software engineering and architecture refactoring.
