Cloud computing
 Introduction

• With traditional desktop computing, we run copies of

software programs on our own computer. The documents we
create are stored on our own pc.
• Although documents can be accessed from other computers
on the network, they can’t be accessed by computers outside
the network. This is PC-centric.

• Unlike traditional computing, this cloud computing model isn’t PC-centric ,
it’s document-centric.
• With cloud computing, the software programs one use aren’t run from
one’s personal computer, but are rather stored on servers accessed via the
Internet.
• If a computer crashes, the software is still available for others to use. Same
goes for the documents one create; they’re stored on a collection of servers
accessed via the Internet.

 What is Cloud
Computing?
Definitions:
“Cloud computing is a general term for
anything that involves delivering hosted services over
the internet.” – Wikipedia

“Cloud computing is Internet-based computing,

whereby shared resources, software, and information
are provided to computers and other devices on
demand, like the electricity grid.”- Wikipedia

Basically a cloud is a virtualization of resources that

manages and maintains itself.

properties of cloud computing:

Cloud Computing Is User Centric :

Once as a user are connected to the cloud, whatever is
stored there—documents, messages, images, applications, whatever—
becomes authorized to the user access them. In addition, not only is the
data, but one can also share it with others. In effect, any device that
accesses your data in the cloud also becomes yours.

Cloud computing
 Cloud Computing Is Task-Centric:
Instead of focusing on the application and what it can do,
the focus is on what one need done and how the application can do it for us.
Traditional applications—word processing, spreadsheets, email, and so on—
are becoming less important than the documents they create.

Cloud Computing Is Powerful:

Connecting hundreds or thousands of computers together in
a cloud creates a wealth of computing power impossible with a single desktop
PC.

Cloud computing
 Cloud Computing Is Accessible:
Because data is stored in the cloud, users can instantly retrieve
more information from multiple repositories. We are not limited to a single
source of data, as we do with a desktop PC.

Cloud Computing Is Intelligent:

With all the various data stored on the computers in a cloud, data-

mining and analysis are necessary to access that information in an

intelligent manner.

 How Cloud Computing
Works?
Sun Microsystems’s slogan is “The network is the computer,”
and that’s as good as any to describe how cloud computing
works. In essence, a network of computers functions as a single
computer to serve data and applications to users over the
Internet. The network exists in the “cloud” of IP addresses that
we know as the Internet, offers massive computing power and
storage capability, and enables wide scale group collaboration.

Cloud computing
 Classification

Broadly classified under the three categories:

1. IaaS: Infrastructure as a service.
2. PasS: Platform as a service.
3. SaaS: Application/Software as a Service.

Cloud computing
 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
Cloud infrastructure services or "Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)" delivers
computer infrastructure, typically a platform virtualization environment as a
service. Rather than purchasing servers, software, data center space or network
equipment, clients instead buy those resources as a fully outsourced service.

Platform as a Service (PaaS):

Platform-as-a-service in the cloud is defined as a set of software and product
development tools hosted on the provider’s infrastructure. Developers create
applications on the provider’s platform over the Internet. PaaS providers may
use APIs, website portals or gateway software installed on the customer’s computer
Force.com, (an outgrowth of Salesforce.com) and GoogleApps are examples of PaaS.

Cloud computing
 Software as a Service (SaaS):

In the software-as-a-service cloud model, the vendor supplies the

hardware infrastructure, the software product and interacts with the user
through a front-end portal. SaaS is a very broad market. Services
can be anything from Web-based email to inventory control and database
processing. Because the service provider hosts both the application and
the data, the end user is free to use the service from anywhere. There are
several successful SaaS model running all over the web.

 Types Of Clouds

Public Cloud: the services are delivered to the client via the
Internet from a third party service provider.
Example: Amazon

Private Cloud: these services are managed and provided within

the organization. There are less restriction on network
bandwidth, fewer security exposures and other legal
requirements compared to the public Cloud.
Example: HP Data Centers
