?
• Smartphone or tablet users can simply download an app and go
• Enterprise ICT isn’t that dynamic

The cloud provides the most immediate and practical solution
IAAS
CRM Only the very bravest of startups or ISVs would do something other than the cloud
Security
The simplicity of access, immediacy of experience means for many they are leaving rigid and constraining nature of their
‘on-premise’ data centre and embracing the cloud on a discrete basis
Office Apps
ERP On Demand

Europe isn’t a single market for regulation
Despite the economic significance and cross border nature of the market each member state controls regulation

Compared to the agility of the OTT providers most traditional infrastructure is unhelpful in this transition

The CLOUD gives – AGILITY, IMMEDIACY, FLEXIBILTY
….but does it do everything
• Security and predictability
– “Takes a lot of engineering to bring private cloud security and reliability to the public cloud’”
• Too easy to get locked-in
– “The future of cloud computing should be much more focused on separating the data from the service”
• Control
– "You can't go to the public cloud and say I want another 64GB of memory here. They look at you and say ‘buy another instance of this type” "
• Reliability The cloud is going to fail
– “The best way to avoid failure is to fail constantly”
• Speed
– “It was too slow, so we abandoned it” [compared to my on-premise solution]

• Bricks, Mortar and the Internet are great but limited in flexibility to distribute services, variable latency, asymmetrical routing, contended services
• Data centre availability is still a function of the quality of the bricks and mortar despite the internet being the best example of resilience in the past 25 years
• The network is an alien body with no predictability or control…in some ways things haven’t changed a great deal
‘Somewhere in the Cloud’

Public Cloud Simplicity, Private Cloud Security
• Combine the network with the computing, separate the control and data planes and now you can do all you want
• Inserting the computing into the network offers the SAME level of control as
REAL architectures
• The network becomes the computer and the computer becomes the network
