The document summarizes the state of cloud computing and its future direction. It discusses how (1) companies are embracing automation, data, design, and connectivity as core skills; (2) mobility and wearable computing will drive the next wave of disruption; and (3) computing will increasingly fuse with the physical world as more "things" become connected. It predicts surprising intersections of technologies will lead to world-changing breakthroughs in the coming age of innovation.

22. Overview
The age of surprise (the world of rapid innovation we
live in)
The golden 4 (automation, information, design,
connectedness)
Mogility (mobile agility)
Fusion (digital computing as a layer of the physical
world)
Surprising intersections (where we see world-changing
breakthroughs).
23. Age of Surprise
The age of surprise is upon
us (as coined by the US Air
Force). There is a new
reality of the possible;
where the impossible now
takes half the time (4 years)
and .03% of the cost
(109B to 3.5M) of the
original moonshot.
24. The Age of Surprise
We are living in the age of surprise.
Individuals can connect, create, and project their
creations at scales never before seen in human history.
As a species we go further and faster by sharing and
building on each other.
A big part of that is accessibility of tools to make
practically anything, connect to knowledge / knowhow, and the Internet’s ability to scale. Viral things
used to be rare. Now they happen all the time.
25. Failure Friendly
In large systems rare things happen all the time.
Amazon’s automation approach doesn’t treat failures
as exceptions. They are part of normal operations and
in their world if you have to get a human involved in
dealing with it, you are doing it wrong.
Netflix has gone one step further with the Simian Army.
They realized that to be sure their system was failure
friendly they needed to increase the rate of failure in the
system.
26. Age of Surprise
To get an advantage in the age of surprise you have to
embrace change. This means supporting anyness,
anytime assembly, failure friendliness, instant scale,
open innovation, and building for change.
28. The Golden Four
Four highly successful companies give us a clue to the collective
skillset needed to be a next generation company. In fact, each of
these companies seeks the other’s skillsets.
Google wants to be better at design like Apple. They redesigned
all of their software and hardware.
Apple wants the information skills of Google. They have struggled
with big data with Maps.
Google wants to increase connections to its customers like
Facebook. Google+ is a major push to exploit connections like
Facebook.
29. Amazon - Core philosophy.
Controllable – Systems are loosely coupled and
automated.
Adaptive – Systems can adapt to different needs.
Resilient- Failures aren’t exceptions; failures are part of
normal operation.
Data-Driven – The system is instrumented to selfoptimize by collecting data that affects the control loop
30. Amazon: Automation Driven
People scale poorly.
Amazon is an automation company that sells retail.
They are killing traditional retail with grocery-store-like
margins (a few percent). Their core skill set is scaling
things through automation; computerized selling and
delivering goods throughout the world.
31. Amazon: Automation Driven
Companies that don’t get automation
right just won’t be able to scale and
operate at the margins of their
competitors.
Knowledge used to be power. Now understanding is
power. Perspective is Genius.
32. Google: Data Driven
There are several elements to a
successful data driven approach.
Clearly define your goals.
Develop a model that measures the achievement of that goal.
Determine the key indicators you need to detect.
Determine what actions to take when an indicator is detected.
Quantify these rules and evolve them as your understanding
increases.
33. Apple: Design Driven
Thanks to Apple, great design is just an expectation.
The bar has been set. People are now expecting to be
continuously delighted. They want to be surprised by
how well something works.
34. Designing a Magic Moment
A magic moment. The Citrix Design Team describes a
magic moment this way:
Wow – First the product surprises you in how it does something,
to the point your reaction is simply Wow.
Thank You – Next the behaviour makes you grateful to those that
made it. It did something that really helped you out, went that
extra mile, and delighted you.
Of Course – The behaviour of the system is so clearly better that
the final reaction is of course. Why would it work any other way?
35. Mogility (Mobile+Agility)
This connected, information filled world of ours is ushering
people into the era of Mobility. People now expect Mobile
Agility (Mogility) in their lives. It’s a new way of living and
working across devices, time zones, distances, transit,
and even employers (freelance economy). Mogility adds
the agility to get stuff done across our ultra-busy on-thego lifestyles emphasizing anyness / anywhereness.
36. Post Mobility?
Post mobility, the next big wave of disruption
we see is wearable computing. Wearable
computing will start to displace mobile in the
next 3 to 5 years.
37. Fusion
Fusion of the digital layer into the physical world is
rapidly happening. This isn’t augmented reality. It is
reality.
A digital computing layer is becoming organic to things
(much like genes are organic to biological life).
38. Context: Google Now
Understanding of context (where, when, who, what)
allows applications to provide more delightful options.
This is a key input to automation / orchestration: sensing
context to trigger actions.
39. Things?
The Internet is already becoming mobile and wireless.
Soon the majority of communication will be between
things, things serving us.
Appification of the Internet = Mashable Web + Apps
Tablets Replace Laptops = Apps + Mobile Simplicity + PC Complexity
Mashable Things = Intelligent Things + Wireless Networks + Printable Electronics
Reinvention of Manufacturing = Print Anything + Nanotech + 3D printing + 3D
Scanning
Electric Economy of Cheap Energy = Electric Vehicles + Better Batteries + Better
Efficiency + Renewable Generation
