What Is Cloud Computing
…moving computing and data away from the
desktop & the portable PC and simply displaying
the result of computing that takes place in a
centralized location and is then transmitted via
internet to user’s screen.
It offers the ability to access software or
information that can be delivered on- demand ,
over the internet , without the need to store it
locally.
Explanation:
A simple example of Cloud Computing is Yahoo or Gmail etc.
You don’t need a software or a server to use them. All a
consumer would need is just an internet connection and you can
start sending emails. The server and email management
software is all on the cloud(internet) and is managed by the
cloud service provider like Yahoo, Google etc.
The consumer gets to use the software alone and enjoy the
benefits. The analogy is “If you only need milk, would you buy a
cow?”. All the users need is to get the benefits of using the
software of computer like sending emails etc.. Just to get this
benefit (MILK) why should a consumer buy software (COW)?
How It’s Works:
In a cloud computing system, there’s a significant
workload shift. Local computers no longer have to do all
the heavy lifting when it comes to running application.
The network of computers that make up the cloud
handles them instead. Hardware and software
demands on the user’s side decrease. The only thing
the user’s computer needs to be able to run is the cloud
computing system's interface software, which can be as
simple as a web browser, and the cloud’s network
takes care of the rest.
How It’s Works:
Can logically be divided into 2 sections
Front end
Back end
Network
Back end
Front end
Front end includes –
the client’s computers
application required to access the cloud computing
e.g.: Internet Explorer, FireFox etc.
Back end includes –
computer networks, servers and any data storage
system
Practically, any computer program you can imagine
from data processing to video games
Control node…also called as Central server.
Types Of Cloud Computing:
Private Cloud
Public Cloud
Community Cloud
Hybrid Cloud
Private Cloud:
Provide hosted services to a limited number of people.
Reliable
Secure
Efficient
Controlled
Flexible
Public Cloud:
Service provider makes resources dynamically available
Benefits:
easy and in expensive setup
scalability
no wasted resources
Ex: Amazon Elastic
Computer cloud,
IBM’s Blue Cloud,
Sun Cloud, Google AppEngine.
Community Cloud:
Organizations having similar requirement
Privacy, security, and policy compliance
Ex.: Google’s “Gov Cloud”
Hybrid Cloud:
Multiple internal and external providers
Composition of more clouds
Application:
Archiving of
backup functions.
deploying a web
application in the cloud.
Layers Of Cloud Computing:
The five layers:
Client Computer,
Phones (browsers)
Application (SaaS) Google apps,
SalesForce CRM
Platform (PaaS)
Google App Engine,
Azure
Infrastructure (IaaS)
Nimbus, AWS
Server Networks, Virtualization
Client:
Hardware & Software
Essentially useless
without cloud
E.g.: Computers
& phones.
Application (SaaS):
Run over internet
No need to
install\maintain
Complete,
customizable application
E.g.: Google Apps,
SalesForce CRM.
Platform (PaaS):
Deployment without
complexity
Eliminate most
management tasks
Pre-built components
E.g.: Google App
Engine, Microsoft Azure.
Infrastructure (IaaS):
Network of servers
Virtualized
Billed on utility ba
E.g.: Nimbus, AWS.
Server:
Hardware \ Software
Network of virtualized
computer
E.g.: better OS, multi-
core processors
Services:
Advantages And Effects:
Data isn’t “chained” to one place; rather, it can
be accessed anywhere, from any medium.
Processor speed becomes less important
then internet connection speed.
Netbooks become practical.
Low maintenance.
Privacy.
Disadvantage :
No control over the business assets (data). The
main assets in every company are its data files
with valuable customer information.
Physical location of hardware and software is
unknown. Site inspections and audits are hard.
Availability. Constant connectivity is required.
Risk of data loss due to improper backups or
system failure.
Conclusion:
“Go Cloud”
Thanks…
