(QoS) requirements of customers and typically offer SLAs.[ In the years ahead, more and more of the information-processing tasks that we rely on, at home and at work, will be handled by big data centers located out on the Internet. The nature and economics of computing will change as dramatically as the nature and economics of mechanical power changed with the rise of electric utilities in the early years of the last century. The consequences for societyfor the way we live, work, learn, communicate, entertain ourselves, and even think promise to be equally profound. If the electric dynamo was the machine that fashioned twentieth century society that made us who we arethe information dynamo is the machine that will fashion the new society of the twenty-first century.

Abstract:
Public cloud computing services can be difficult to manage as they have at least three separate management domains: the enterprise, the WAN service provider and the various cloud computing service providers. Successful management requires that thorough, consistent management data be gathered from each of the domains. Public cloud management also requires methods that span the various management domains. This session will identify what you can and must do to manage this multifaceted technology. With data moving beyond the physical walls of an organization, data security has become exponentially more complex with rapidly evolving risks. The introduction of cloud computing brings new questions around sensitive data protection.

What is Cloud computing?

Cloud computing is a way of computing, via the Internet, that broadly shares computer resources instead of using software or storage on a local PC. Cloud computing is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the InternetThe term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone network, and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents.

Introduction
This paper presents an overview of how cloud computing is used in the public sectors The majority of cloud computing infrastructure, as of 2009, consists of reliable services delivered through data centers and built on servers. Clouds often appear as single points of access for all consumers' computing needs. Commercial offerings are generally expected to meet quality of service

A technical definition is "a computing capability that provides an abstraction between the computing resource and its underlying technical architecture (e.g., servers, storage, networks), enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." This definition states that clouds have five essential characteristics: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. Narrowly speaking, cloud computing is client-server computing that abstract the details of the server away one requests a service (resource), not a specific server (machine). However, cloud computing may be conflated with other terms, including client-server and utility computing, and the term has been criticized as vague and referring to "everything that we currently do".

Service Model Architectures (from NIST)

A working definition for cloud computinga new computer technique with potential for achieving significant cost savings and information technology agilityhas been released by a team of

computer security experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Since the federal government is considering cloud computing as a component of its new technology infrastructure, it is NISTs role to evaluate it and then promote its effective and secure use within government and industry by providing technical guidance and developing standards. The working definition of cloud computing described by NIST is a payper-use model for enabling available, convenient and on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. The draft working definition also describes five key characteristics, three delivery models and four deployment models. The NIST cloud computing research team is studying cloud architectures, security and deployment strategies for the federal government

Evolution of the Cloud Computing Market from Stand-Alone to the InterCloud

Phase1: I agree that phase 1 is today made up of the bigger players; namely Amazon, Google, Microsoft (soon), Force.com (soon, not big enough yet). However, there are already many smaller players sprouting (e.g. Rack Space, etc.). Hence,

before the market evolves to phase 2, theres going to be a proliferation of more cloud infrastructure (albeit smaller than the big boys) or platform players, esp. cloud storage. Phase 2: this phase is already beginning to form. We have players like Right Scale and Cohesive forming around the eco-system of Amazon EC2. This is kind like smaller fish swarming around the larger whales. Phase 3: definitely going to happen within 2 years. Many of the smaller players in phase 1 are going to leverage on their eco-system partners in phase 2 to create federated cloud standards and frameworks to make phase 3 happen. This will be accelerated by larger enterprises crying out for private clouds.

Projects with large-scale compute and storage demands Security services

Key to Agency Adoption of Cloud: Trust

How Secure Is Government IT?

Before the Economics of Cloud Computing Can be Considered, Agencies Require a Trusted Service Infrastructure

Federal CIO Survey Question:

Has the IT infrastructure that supports your agencys mission become more secure or less secure?

Identify cloud services opportunities based on business needs, value proposition, and the ability to adopt/support those services. This will be the services portfolio. Getting Started Simple 5-Track Roadmap 3. Communicate with the BUs about cloud services and the roadmap and process for incorporating them into the architecture, whether the services are internal or external. This will be the communication plan. 4. Experiment with and pilot various services, both internal and external, to identify where the real issues will arise. This will be the lab. 5. Designate a cross-functional team to monitor continually which new services, providers, and standards are in this space and determine if they affect the roadmap. This will be the sensing and strategy-evolution function.

CONCLUSION:
Cloud Services

We believe that Cloud Services are in their infancy and will offer significantly greater flexibility, reliability and cost effectiveness in the future, although many hurdles will need to be overcome.
