MAINFRAMES PCs CLIENT/ SERVER INTERNET CLOUD 1970s Pro – Efficient Con – Slow to Change 1980s Pro – Quick to change Con – Expensive, loss of control of data 1990s Pro – Quick to change and better data control Con – Expensive to support 2000s Pro – Quick to change Con – Tough to support Today Pro – Efficient, quick to change Con – Paradigm shift Persistent Goal: Efficient systems that respond to the business “If you think you’ve seen this movie before, you are right. Cloud computing is based on the time-sharing model we leveraged years ago before we could afford our own computers. The idea is to share computing power among many companies and people, thereby reducing the cost of that computing power to those who leverage it. The value of time share and the core value of cloud computing are pretty much the same, only the resources these days are much better and more cost effective.” – David Linthicum

- 10. 10 KEY ELEMENTS OF CLOUD SERVICES ACCESSED OVER A NETWORK RUNNING ON SHARED RESOURCES EASY TO SET UP PAY AS YOU GO GROW OR SHRINK AND NO IDEA HOW… “There was a time when every household, town, farm or village had its own water well. Today, shared public utilities give us access to clean water by simply turning on the tap; cloud computing works in a similar fashion. Just like water from the tap in your kitchen, cloud computing services can be turned on or off quickly as needed. Like at the water company, there is a team of dedicated professionals making sure the service provided is safe, secure and available on a 24/7 basis. When the tap isn't on, not only are you saving water, but you aren't paying for resources you don't currently need.” Vivek Kundra, CIO, US Federal Government
