This is a presentation I gave on cloud computing entitled, "Cloud Computing": What It Is, What It Isn't, Why It Matters" for Tokyo 2.0 which was held at Super Deluxe in Nishi-Azabu. We had a great turnout for the event with over 200 people in attendance (you can watch the video below or see the full presentation PDF below).

It was almost 5 years ago yet a number of the main themes and issues I addressed have come to pass.


                                                   The Main Points Covered Were:
1. What Is Cloud Computing?

2. How Do We Define It?

3. How Do The Experts Define It? 
     And Do They Even Agree?

4. Market Response To Cloud Computing
  • Cloud Washing
  • Cloud Envy
  • Cloud Spray

5. Characteristics & Comparisons
  • Cloud Computing
  • Utility Computing
  • Grid Computing

6. Cloud Computing "Layers"
(Analogy to the OSI Reference Model, Layer 1 - 7)
  • SaaS
  • PaaS
  • IaaS
7. Types of Cloud Computing
  • Public
  • Private
  • Hybrid
            * set against * 
  • On-Premise
  • Off-Premise
  • Mixed  Location

8. Obstacles & Opportunities / Principle Threats & Risks
  • Vendor Lock-in
  • Data Portability
  • Data Security: For Data At-Rest & In-Flight
  • Government Surveillance in a Multi-Tenant Environment
  • Legal Compliance in a Multi-Tenant Environment
  • Privacy in a Multi-Tenant Environment
  • Performance Monitoring
  • Tracking / Reporting / Analytics
  • Design Patterns (Multi-Tier/n-Tier Architectures, etc.)

9. Everything is New Again
  • New Deal vs New Deck

Some Feedback From Tokyo 2.0 Participants

James, 
I really enjoyed your presentation. I didn't understand cloud computing, but you explained it so clearly, now I do. Thanks!

Hello James,
I wasn't sure what to expect tonight, if it was going to be a full geek talk or only advertising fluff. You surprised me and did a great job in covering the entire spectrum in such a short time. I actually learned something  lol.
Hey,
I'm a techie/dev but always have a hard time explaining this to  non-techies but you explained it very well and clearly. I'll borrow a few of your examples next time I try to explain what I do.  ;)

Hi James,
I liked your talk, especially how you took it beyond just technical platforms or tech talk and also covered business models, social and legal issues. I'm glad I came tonight.
