What is Cloud Computing ?
Cloud computing refers to the provision of computational
resources on demand via a computer network.
Because the cloud is an underlying delivery mechanism,
cloud based applications and services may support any
type of software application or service in use today.

Cloud Computing Technology
IMHO, there is not a lot of new technology in Cloud Computing – more of an
evolution of existing know how applied to meet demands by consumers.

includes images based on a
number of IBM products such as

 No charge to Universities for teaching, learning and non commercial research
 Great opportunity for students to learn about a specific subject
 Also, learn practical aspects of cloud computing
Academic Skills Cloud - Demo
Currently, the ASC is in Pilot mode – we are looking for
small projects that can take advantage of the service and
to work closely with IBM to determine how to best use this
technology.
• Identify opportunity (contact, subject, purpose, forecast usage)
• Organise access to ASC (AI member agrees to T’s and C’s)
• Add students to the account
• UWS can create instance, personalise, and save as private image (ie UWS-1)
• Teaching staff and students can create / delete instances (generic of private)
Demo : log on, navigate dashboard, create instance (delete, save private image)

Impact of technology
…because intelligence is being infused into the way the
world works.
Our world is becoming
INSTRUMENTED.
Our world is becoming
INTERCONNECTED.
Virtually all things, processes and
ways of working are becoming
INTELLIGENT.
We now have the ability to measure, sense and monitor
the condition of almost everything.

the world, constituting
an “internet of things.”

We can now respond to changes quickly and
accurately, and get better results by predicting
and optimizing for future events.
15 petabytes 1 petaflop

Every day, 15 petabytes
of new information are
being generated. This is
8x more than the
information in all
U.S. libraries.
New analytics enable highresolution weather forecasts for
areas as fine as
1 to 2 square kilometers.
Scientists are working to
prevent influenza pandemics
by modeling the viruses with
a supercomputer that can
operate at one petaflop, or
one quadrillion operations
per second.

Smarter transportation: An opportunity to improve the
transit experience, reduce congestion and encourage a
modal shift among users
In one section of Los Angeles, looking for parking generated the equivalent of 38
trips around the world, burned 47,000 gallons of gas, emitted 730 tons of carbon
dioxide in 1 year !
Congested roadways cost $78 billion annually in the form of 4.2 billion lost
hours and 2.9 billion gallons of wasted gas.
Smarter transportation: Influence traffic patterns
and increase use of public transportation
The Innovation:
A smart toll system uses cameras and sensors positioned throughout the
city, along with a central computing system that processes vehicle
identification data, to charge drivers varying rates depending on the time
of day.
Embed
transponders
in vehicles.
Record
license plate numbers,
time of day and toll rates.
Process
data and charge
drivers accordingly.
The Benefits:
• Less traffic
• Lower emissions
• Increased city revenue
• Greater use
of public transit
• Increased roadway safety
Smarter transportation: Client
transformations
Stockholm implemented an intelligent
toll system in the city center, which resulted
in 20% less traffic, 40% lower emissions
and 40,000 additional users of the public
transportation system.
To encourage citizens to use multiple modes
of transportation and make it easier to align
the cost of transit with its impact on the
environment, the Singapore Land
Transport Authority implemented fare
management with smart cards that can be
used to pay for buses, trains, taxis, road-use
charging and parking.
Smarter energy and utilities :
transformations
CenterPoint Energy in Houston is
DONG Energy in Denmark installed
installing over 2 million smart meters and in
some cases an energy controller for
household devices. Homeowners will be able
to access their usage information in home
displays or on a personal website to make
smarter consumption decisions.
monitoring devices across their distribution
network. The increased insight into the grid’s
performance will potentially lessen outage
times by up to 50% and reduce maintenance
investments by up to 90%.
Smarter healthcare: Client Transformations
A regional healthcare provider in France,
created a regional information communication
and management solution that improved the
efficiency of patient care, reduced the risk of
medical error and improved emergency
response coordination.
A public healthcare organization, Servicio
Extremeño de Salud in Spain, has built
a regionally integrated system that lets
patients go to many health centers within the
region, knowing a doctor there can have the
patients’ complete, up-to-date records for
faster and more accurate treatment.
Smarter education: Client transformations
North Carolina State University provides
computing lab resources to schools and
colleges throughout the state via a central
service. Students, faculty and teachers are
able to receive a customized image of the
content and applications to meet their
learning needs.
A leading research group at a prestigious
university in Massachusetts obtains the
powerful computing environment it needs
when it leverages the IBM-powered
World Community Grid to perform its
innovative energy research..
Our world is becoming …
INSTRUMENTED
INTERCONNECTED
INTELLIGENT
We now have the ability
to measure, sense and
see the exact condition
of everything.
People, systems and
objects can communicate
and interact with each
other in entirely new
ways.

quickly and accurately,
and get better results
