 Computing Evolution

Now

40’s 70’s 80’s

• Mobility explosion
• Collaboration
• High level of interconnection between users
• Web platform growing
• Pressure over companies data centre.
 What is cloud computing

• “Cloud” is actually a metaphor for the Internet.

• User do not have or need knowledge, control, ownership
in the computer infrastructure.
• Users simply rent or access the software, paying only
what they use
 What is cloud computing

Cloud computing is using the Internet to access someone else’s

software running on someone else’s hardware in someone
else’s data centre while paying only for what you use.
 Cloud anatomy

SaaS = Software as a Service

(eg: Gmail, Google Calendar,...)
PaaS = Platform as a Service
(eg: Google Apps)
IaaS = Infrastructure as a
Service
(eg: Amazon EC2)

Hybrid Cloud
 Why cloud computing
• Data centres are notoriously underutilised, often idle 85% of the
time
o Over provisioning
o Insufficient capacity planning and sizing
o Improper understanding of scalability requirements etc
• including thought leaders from Gartner, Forrester, and IDC—agree
that this new model offers significant advantages for fast-paced
startups, SMBs and enterprises alike.
• Cost effective solutions to key business demands
• Move workloads to improve efficiency
Why cloud computing -
Traditional IT
Why cloud computing - Cloud
 Why cloud computing

• Instant Elasticity
o Scale up / down
• Reduce IT Cost
o Pay only what you use
• Green / CO2 footprint reduced
o The servers unused are switched off automatically.
o No need any more powerful computer to run powerful software
 Healthcare in the cloud
• IT requirements
o functional and non-functional are more complex.
• We care about where the data are stored and who take care of
them.
• The public cloud cannot really meets these needs.
o The cloud vendor can keep our data anywhere.
• The private cloud could pretend to be more secure but the
maintenance's cost of the infrastructure is still present.
 Healthcare in the cloud

• The hybrid cloud could be the solution.

o The private side could only be used to process, store sensitive
data.
o The public side could be used to compute non sensitive data.
• BUT difficult to implement.
o Strong policies rules must be implemented to target the both
cloud.
 Healthcare in the cloud
• Understanding that cloud infrastructure brings many
advantages for the hospitals nevertheless the public cloud
architecture, most economic with endless resources cannot
really be enjoyed by hospitals.
• The best solution could be to introduce a new cloud
architecture which could take only advantages of the 3 existing
architecture.
• The government could create their own private cloud and
propose IaaS/ PaaS / SaaS to the UK hospitals.

Protected Cloud
Who already used the cloud

• Peter Harkins at The Washington Post: 200 EC2 instances

(1,407 server hours), convert 17,481 pages of Hillary Clinton’s
travel documents within 9 hours
• The New York Times used 100 Amazon EC2 instances +
Hadoop application to recognise 4TB of raw  TIFF image into
1.1 million PDFs in 24 hours ($240) 
• The U.S. Defense Department is offering now cloud computing
services.
