utilities, will service individual
homes and offices across the
country”

Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
12
Rapid Elasticity
Definition
Capabilities can be rapidly and elastically provisioned, in
some cases automatically, to quickly scale out and
rapidly released to quickly scale in.
NIST
• Capacity can be scaled up, down, in, or out dynamically
• Scaling is immediate
• Licensing is also built to scale
• Underlying hardware can be anywhere geographically
Copyright © 2011 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
13
Measured Service
Definition
Cloud systems automatically
control and optimize resource
use by leveraging a metering
capability at some level of
abstraction appropriate to the
type of service (e.g., storage,
processing, bandwidth, and
active user accounts).
Resource usage can be
monitored, controlled, and
reported providing transparency
for both the provider and
consumer of the utilized service.
NIST
Copyright © 2011 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
• Infrastructure operational
costs incurred on a pay-peruse basis
• Contractual obligations tied
to price tiering
 No obligation has the
highest price
Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
14
Broad Network Access
Definition
Capabilities are available over the network and accessed
through standard mechanisms that promote use by
heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g.,
mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs).
NIST
• Network is essential to consume the service
• Endpoints can be of any type:
 Smartphone, tablet, notebook, laptop, desktop, server, other
applications
Copyright © 2011 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
15
Resource Pooling
Definition
The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve
multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with
different physical and virtual resources dynamically
assigned and reassigned according to consumer
demand.
NIST
Shared Resources
• Infrastructure and services run on shared
physical devices (e.g., multi-tenant)
Copyright © 2011 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
16
On-Demand Self-Service
Definition
A consumer can unilaterally
provision computing capabilities,
such as server time and network
storage, as needed automatically
without requiring human
interaction with each service’s
provider.
NIST
• On-Demand
 Customers incur no infrastructure
capital costs and are charged an
Operational Expense (OPEX)
 Workload forecasting
unnecessary
 Demand trends are predicted
managed by the provider
 The underlying hardware may be
anywhere geographically
• Self-service
 Resources directly/indirectly
reserved by the customer via a
web based portal and appropriate
APIs

• Costs tied to usage
• Community Cloud
• Less need to be in the IT Business
 Improves institutional focus on education development &
delivery
• Improves institutional agility & time to market
• Examples: UMASS – Google Apps
