8. Why Should You Care?
• Cloud is here to stay – 59% of IT decision makers surveyed1
in 2010 indicate cloud is the future model of IT – 49% already
have cloud as part of IT strategy
• Cloud and cloud usage patterns are primarily driven by
end-users
• Need an open ecosystem at many levels in the cloud for the
paradigm to succeed in meeting expectations
• Most IT and other end-users concerned with vendor lock-
in1 – looking for interoperable and interchangeable services
and service components
• Market leadership requires right products and solutions
from deep understanding of customer requirements and
expectations

14. Usage Model: PROVIDER SECURITY ASSURANCE
Use Case
Challenges
• Security stance of a Cloud
Provider is a big concern and
impediment to enterprise cloud
adoption
• Need consistent and simple
ways to define the level of
security of a cloud – need
standard requirements and
semantics
Usage A Usage Model providing standard definitions of security levels for
Summary cloud services. This will allow users to:
Ensure providers meet certain security standards.
Compare security between providers.
Allow users to make more informed choices.
Levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum
Expectations • Consistent definitions of security to increase transparency of
offerings
• Allow programmatic and user-driven methods to determine the
security stance
• Allow independent validation of SP security claims
14 SM
15. Usage Model: SECURITY COMPLIANCE MONITORING
Use Case
Challenges
• Need reliable mechanisms to
assess the security stance of a
Cloud
• Need a simple and standard way
to qualify security both
a) initially and
b) at any other time instant
that is determined by
subscriber
Usage A Usage Model designed to provide cloud users with a standard
Summary monitoring framework, format, and syntax that will let them query
the status of security and compliance on a continuous basis.
Expectations • Provide standardized definitions of security for cloud-based (Provider
Security Assurance)
• Give cloud providers the ability to demonstrate compliance to an agreed
standard through certification processes maintained by a cloud
compliance agency
• Give cloud-subscribers the ability to validate adherence to cloud security
standards (direct assessment or third-party accreditation)
• A standard API or mechanism to monitor security levels
15 SM
16. Usage Model: CARBON FOOTPRINT
Use Case
Challenges
• Organizations are under pressure
to report and reduce their
environmental impact
• Reduce wastage and reduce
operational costs
• Difficult to evaluate and predict
the carbon footprint from current
methodologies – additional
capabilities are required especially
in the cloud
Usage A Usage Model designed to ensure organizations can predict CO2
Summary emissions and track actual emissions through technical capabilities
instituted by providers of cloud services. Discuss requirements and
use of metrics like CUE and PUE.
Expectations • Establish an open standard approach for measuring carbon footprint for cloud
services (focus on the execution footprint; wider aspects in future
documents)
• Allow the organization subscribing to the cloud services to:
– Consider shifting the workload to other suppliers with a lower footprint
– Analyze carbon production over time to aid in driving green IT policies
– Provide audits and reports to corporate and regulatory bodies on its green
and carbon profile
16 SM
17. Usage Model: REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Use Case
Challenges
• Technology is not the only enabler
or impediment to cloud adoptions –
regulations and policies and the
burdens to meet these are major
aspects
• Penalties for non-compliance are
very heavy
• Need strong education to drive
right compromises into regulators,
technologies & providers
Usage A Usage Model aimed at helping organizations assess and monitor
Summary their regulatory obligations when engaging and acquiring cloud
services.
Expectations • Ensure subscriber obligations, define requirements for providers
to meet regulatory obligations and audit the compliance to
regulatory obligations
• Do a reasonable job of cataloging global regulatory
organizations (not an endeavor to be absolutely comprehensive)
• Build consistent framework and agendas for influence and
identify implications to regulatory bodies (across geographies),
regulations, applicable laws, and standards
17 SM
18. Use Case
Challenges
• Need better management and
allocation of capacity
• VM density increase on host
creates increase potential for
I/O conflicts
• Need to eliminate contention
to meet SLA and QoS
expectations
Usage A Usage Model aimed at ensuring organizations can create and
Summary launch virtual machine (VM) with workloads that meet their
storage and network IO performance requirements and
effectively manage IO performance and inter-VM contentions.
Expectations • Need to manage allocation of instantaneous bandwidth and
total bandwidth (quota)
• Monitor network use and allow throttling and limiting where
required
• Mechanisms to map workload requirements to capabilities
initially and at runtime and controls to manage and deliver
the right QoS
18 SM
19. Usage Model: INTEROPERABILITY OF HYPERVISORS
Use Case
Challenges
• Realizing full cloud benefits need:
a) Seamless use & management
of any cloud hypervisor –
ability to choose SP on ROI
b) Manage linked Private and
Public clouds consistently
• For IaaS, need consistent VM &
VMM interoperability – mgmt.
interfaces, format and configuration
Usage A Usage Model specifying actions and process to spur development
Summary of interoperable, VM management solutions aimed at lowering
management complexity and costs, especially in heterogeneous,
multi-vendor environments.
Expectations • Given hypervisor/VM heterogeneity, minimize constrains to
customer choice of SPs and ease management across multiple
SPs (including public <-> private)
• Consistent command sets and semantics between hypervisor
implementations – require consistent management interfaces,
policy enforcement and IT practices
• OVF (DMTF) great for packaging VMs for migration – need
additional standards for “true” interoperability
19 SM
20. Usage Model: SERVICE CATALOG
Use Case
Challenges
• Users need standard and
comprehensive mechanism to
select and assess offered services
• Service Catalogs aid users in
identifying services, their
capabilities, configurations and
constraints in a normalized manner
over many and different providers
– allows for comparisons
Usage The Usage model describes a standard programmatic
Summary
interface to securely interrogate catalogs, a data model for
representing service characteristics and requirements and
mechanisms to negotiate, reserve and provision services.
Expectations • Services offered will be defined in a standard (programmatic) way
• Enable a global services marketplace - open discovery and free
market principles for selling and buying cloud services
• Ensure that a base set of service information be available
ubiquitously (allows for consistent differentiation, customization
and/or extension beyond this set)
20 SM
21. Usage Model: STANDARD UNITS OF MEASURE (IaaS)
Use Case
Challenges
• Enterprises need to quantitatively
compare service offerings and
measure against internal
requirements and offerings
• Need relevant, consistent and
accurate measures of service
characteristics and QoS that is
meaningful to end-users
• Current metrics and measures are
too granular and low level
Usage The Usage model defines requirements for quantitative macro measures for
Summary compute, network and storage along linear, throughput, consumption-based,
time and block scale dimensions. Also defines requirements for qualitative
measures. Identifies 4 standard levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum
and requirements for each of these levels.
Expectations • SUoM for quantitative and qualitative measures to describe the capacity,
performance and quality of the service components
• Define metrics for:
– Before Use: within a Service Catalog prior to service delivery; for
defining SLA
– During Use: as a definition of the expected service capabilities and
monitoring while services are in use to manage SLA and
– After Use: as a usage measure for billing after consumption

33. Risk Factors
The above statements and any others in this document that refer to plans and expectations for the second quarter, the year and the
future are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and their variations identify forward-looking statements.
Statements that refer to or are based on projections, uncertain events or assumptions also identify forward-looking statements. Many
factors could affect Intel’s actual results, and variances from Intel’s current expectations regarding such factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Intel presently considers the following to be the
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the company’s expectations. Demand could be different from
Intel's expectations due to factors including changes in business and economic conditions, including supply constraints and other
disruptions affecting customers; customer acceptance of Intel’s and competitors’ products; changes in customer order patterns
including order cancellations; and changes in the level of inventory at customers. Potential disruptions in the high technology supply
chain resulting from the recent disaster in Japan could cause customer demand to be different from Intel’s expectations. Intel
operates in intensely competitive industries that are characterized by a high percentage of costs that are fixed or difficult to reduce in
the short term and product demand that is highly variable and difficult to forecast. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are
affected by the timing of Intel product introductions and the demand for and market acceptance of Intel's products; actions taken by
Intel's competitors, including product offerings and introductions, marketing programs and pricing pressures and Intel’s response to
such actions; and Intel’s ability to respond quickly to technological developments and to incorporate new features into its products.
The gross margin percentage could vary significantly from expectations based on capacity utilization; variations in inventory valuation,
including variations related to the timing of qualifying products for sale; changes in revenue levels; product mix and pricing; the
timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp and associated costs; start-up costs; excess or obsolete inventory; changes in unit
costs; defects or disruptions in the supply of materials or resources; product manufacturing quality/yields; and impairments of long-
lived assets, including manufacturing, assembly/test and intangible assets. Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation
expenses, as well as restructuring and asset impairment charges, vary depending on the level of demand for Intel's products and the
level of revenue and profits. The majority of Intel’s non-marketable equity investment portfolio balance is concentrated in companies
in the flash memory market segment, and declines in this market segment or changes in management’s plans with respect to Intel’s
investments in this market segment could result in significant impairment charges, impacting restructuring charges as well as gains/
losses on equity investments and interest and other. Intel's results could be affected by adverse economic, social, political and
physical/infrastructure conditions in countries where Intel, its customers or its suppliers operate, including military conflict and other
security risks, natural disasters, infrastructure disruptions, health concerns and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Intel’s results
could be affected by the timing of closing of acquisitions and divestitures. Intel's results could be affected by adverse effects
associated with product defects and errata (deviations from published specifications), and by litigation or regulatory matters involving
intellectual property, stockholder, consumer, antitrust and other issues, such as the litigation and regulatory matters described in
Intel's SEC reports. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing or
selling one or more products, precluding particular business practices, impacting Intel’s ability to design its products, or requiring
other remedies such as compulsory licensing of intellectual property. A detailed discussion of these and other factors that could affect
Intel’s results is included in Intel’s SEC filings, including the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2011.
