2. Agenda
Evolution to Transformation
Introducing Cloud X – The Next Generation Cloud Ecosystem
Summary - Changing the Paradigm of Cloud Computing
4. The evolution of the Internet from a database to an industrial tool/factory is driving
change…
Customer Office
Customer Network
Old School internet
of the last 20 years
Twisted pair, Coax, and 1 to 3G wireless
The Internet was used to communicate, retrieve and post data
Tools to reach the internet were
computers with processors and
storage at the end user
LTE, 4G, Fiber at 1T to 100T
The new Internet has industrialized processing and
storage will accelerate the new “computer bus” between
end-users and their industrial processing and storage
Servers,
Storage facilities,
5. This has fundamentally changed how CIOs think...
The CIO’s environment has shifted to a situation where applications and network have enabled “pay as you go”
Efficient IT versus the Traditional IT of “always on”
To a “New IT World”
CIOs Look at IT
through a new
lens…
Traditional IT “New IT World”

6. In addition to traditional enterprises, a new enterprise ecosystem has been created
The rising tide of next gen tech companies will continue to drive innovation in the foreseeable future
