- * Cloud computing is Internet -based computing , whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like a public utility. It is a paradigm shift following the shift from mainframe to client-server that preceded it in the early '80s. Details are abstracted from the users who no longer have need of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. [1] Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet . [2] [2] [3] It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet. [4] The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone network, [5] and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents. [6] Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online which are accessed from another web service or software like a web browser , while the software and data are stored on servers . Most cloud computing infrastructure consists of reliable services delivered through data centers and built on servers. Clouds often appear as single points of access for all consumers' computing needs. Commercial offerings are generally expected to meet quality of service (QoS) requirements of customers and typically offer SLAs . [7] I t is still new and not clearly defined Definition continues to be refined as quickly and rapidly as new technologies such as Web 2.0 emerge and development Anything outside of your firewall vs. connection to the Internet I will refer to the Cloud as the “Internet”
- * Now we will look at the concerns and Benefits of cloud computing. There are many business benefits when it comes to using cloud computing services. One of the most important benefits for the businesses where many of our students work as well as ESC is the cost savings that a business gets with using cloud computing services. Customer only pay for the resources that they use. They do not have to worry about paying that up front capital with investing in infrastructure and application license. An example of this would be using the Enterprise version of the Google Applications. A business would pay just $50 per day of usage as compared to Microsoft Office Professional that charges $499.99 for licenses and has to be renewed every year. Once you are done with the project that you are working with the Google Apps, you do not have to pay for it anymore, until you have to use it again. Google Apps $50/employee/year Microsoft Office Professional $670/employee/year Randi Levin, CTO Los Angeles said “The cost savings was a no-brainer. At $50 per user per year, the city is saving $5 million in cash but $20 million overall, when all factors are considered. For example, with its old system, the city had no disaster recovery system in place. With Google, the city now gets that protection.” http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=33020 Another Benefit to cloud computing would be Scalable services and applications. Cloud computing allows for you to use applications from a remote location and you pay for the use and service, so lets just say for example that your company starts off from a small 100 employee company. Then you will only need to pay for applications being used by those 100 employees. Then lets say that times get difficult and you have to lay off some of your employees. You are still able to do this without having un-used licensed software laying around, not being used. Cloud computing can work for you no matter if your business gets larger or smaller. Another benefit would be redundancy and disaster recovery. This is great for customer of cloud computing, because they know that cloud computing providers have the ability to have a back-up and disaster recovery plan, so that not only you, the business has their information safe, but the CC provider does also. This is a great way for a business to know that thir information will be safe.
