 What is Cloud?

■ The term Cloud refers to a Network or Internet.

■ In other words, we can say that Cloud is something, which is

present at remote location.

■ Cloud can provide services over network, i.e., on public

networks or on private networks, i.e., WAN, LAN or VPN.

■ Cloud provide “On-Demand” services over the Internet.

 What is Cloud Computing?

■ Cloud Computing provides us a means by which we

can access the applications as utilities, over the
Internet.

■ It allows us to create, configure, and customize

applications online.

■ With Cloud Computing users can access database

resources via the internet from anywhere for as long
as they need without worrying about any
maintenance or management of actual resources.
 What is Cloud Computing?

■ Cloud Computing refers to manipulating,

configuring, and accessing the applications online.

■ It offers online data storage, infrastructure and

application.

■ Cloud Computing is both a combination of software and

hardware-based computing resources delivered as a
network service.

Cloud Computing
• ''Clouds are vast resource pools with on-demand resource
allocation''.
- Jan Pritzker

• ''Cloud computing is the latest effort in delivering computing

resources as a service. It represents a shift away from
computing as a product that is purchased, to computing as a
service that is delivered to consumers over the internet from
large-scale data centers - or clouds''
-- (Ilango and ... ajeh-Hosseini, 2010).

 Base Of Cloud Computing
• The main enabling technology
for cloud computing is
virtualization. Virtualization
generalizes the physical
infrastructure and provides it as a
soft component that is easy to be
used and managed.

• Virtualization: VMWare - A
pioneer in virtualization and
cloud software and services

• ''Virtualization software makes it

possible to run multiple operating
systems and multiple applications
on the server at the same time.
 Characteristics of Cloud Computing
1. The Key Essential Characteristics / Attributes of Cloud Computing
Are:
2. On-demand self-service: resources can be acquired and used at
any time. Computing resources include processing power, storage,
virtual machines etc.

3. Broad network access: Recourses are acquired over the network and
accessed through standard devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile
devices.

4. Device and location independence: Enable users to access systems

using a web browser regardless of their location or what device
they are using, e.g., PC, mobile.

5. Rapid elasticity: A user can quickly acquire more resources from the
cloud by scaling out. They can scale back in by releasing those
resources once they are no longer required.
6. Measured service: resource usage is metered using appropriate metrics such
monitoring storage usage, CPU hours, bandwidth usage etc. The service is Pay
as You Go. Cost is greatly reduced, and capital expenditure is converted to
operational expenditure . Also, you can convert fixed cost to variable.

7. Reliability: improves through the use of multiple redundant sites,

which makes it suitable for business continuity and disaster recovery.

8. Scalability: via dynamic (''on-demand'') provisioning of resources

on a fine-grained, self-service basis near real-time, without users
having to engineer for peak loads.

9. Virtualized: applications are decoupled from the underlying

hardware. Multiple applications can run on one computer
(virtualization a la VMWare) or multiple computers can be used to
run one application.
 Models of Cloud Computing

There are certain services and models working behind the scene making
the cloud computing feasible and accessible to end users.

Following are the working models for cloud computing:

•!• Deployment models define the type of access to the cloud, i.e.,
how the cloud is located?

•!• Cloud can have any of the four types of access:

Public

Private

Hybrid and

Community.
 Deployment Models Of Cloud Computing

1. PUBLIC CLOUD: The Public Cloud allows systems and services to be

easily accessible to the general public. Public cloud may be less secure
because of its openness, e.g., e-mail.

2. PRIVATE CLOUD: The Private Cloud allows systems and services to be

accessible within an organization. It offers increased security because of its
private nature.

3. COMMUNITY CLOUD: The Community Cloud allows systems and

services to be accessible by group of organizations.

4. HYBRID CLOUD: The Hybrid Cloud is mixture of public and private

cloud. However, the critical activities are performed using private cloud
while the non-critical activities are performed using public cloud.

''Cloud Computing'', by definition, refers to the on-demand delivery of
IT resources and applications via the Internet with pay-as-you-go
• •
pr1c1ng.

• Software Updates
• Advantage of cloud computing is that the servers are installed off
premise and out of sight. Suppliers take care of them for all regular
maintenance including software and security, so you don't have to
worry about wasting time maintaining the system yourself.

• Leaving you free to focus on the things that matter, like growing
your business.

• Controlled Capital-Expenditure
• Cloud computing cuts out the high cost of IT infrastructure. You
simply pay as you go and enjoy a subscription-based model.
• Instead of having to invest heavily in Data- Cen_...,.,..:s and servers
before you know how y o u ' r going to use them, y can only pay
when you consume computing resources, and only pay for liow
much you consume.
• Security
• Data can e stored in the cloud; we can access it no matter what happens to
your machine.
• nd ou can even remotely remove data from lost laptops, so it doesn't get
into t e wrong hands.

• Stop guessing capacity

• You can access as much or as little as you need and scale up and down as
required with only a few minutes notice.

• Data Accessibility
• When business teams can access, edit and share documents anytime, from
a n h e r e , they're able to do more efficiently with high performance. With
cloud computing, if you've got an internet connection ou can be at work.
And with most serious cloud services offering mobi e apps, you're not
restricted by which device you've got to hand.
39
• Flexibility
• Cloud-based services are ideal for businesses with growing or •

fluctuating bandwidth demands.

• If your needs increase it's easy to scale up your cloud capacity, drawing
on the service's remote servers. Likewise, if you need to scale down
again, the flexibility is baked into the service.

• Competitiveness
• Cloud is available for everyone, it also allows smaller businesses to act
faster than big, establishe competitors.
• Pay-as-you-go service and cloud business applications mean small
outfits can run with the big boys, and disrupt the market, while
remaining lean and nimble.

 Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

■ Requires a constant Internet connection: Does not work well with low-speed
connections and can be slow.
■ Stored data might not be secure
■ Lack and loss of control
■ Accessibility and UI limitations of web apps
■ Reliability, performance, security; offline access
■ Policy/compliance concerns (privacy)
■ Breach forensics and mitigation
■ Business ''surprises''
■ Support; More Logins
■ Consequences of ''Creative Destruction''
 Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

• Security: This is usually the top fear because most IT managers are
concerned about controlling access of their sensitive data that would
reside in the cloud and can't afford the data being compromised.
• Privacy: Another key concern of IT management is maintaining privacy of
their computing data in the cloud. IT departments need to be assured that
their data is not being monitored either internally within the cloud
provider or by any outside hackers.
• High Availability: Users are looking for some form of guarantee from providers
that their computing data will be up at all times and their business can't be
affected with any downtime.

• Service Delivery and Billing: Budgeting and assessment of the cost will be
very difficult unless the provider has some good and comparable benchmarks to
offer.
 Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

• Poor Application Performance: Companies can't afford to have their IT

users becoming less productive while a page load times exceed several
seconds, for instance when they need to use a cloud computing
application.

• Business Continuity: Users also have concerns about recovering their data
from the cloud quickly in case of a man-made or a natural disaster.

• Performance and Bandwidth Cost: Businesses can save money on

hardware, but they have to spend more for the bandwidth. This can be a
low cost for smaller applications but can be significantly high for the data
intensive applications.
 Conclusion

• Cloud Computing is a easy and approachable way for companies to have all
the resources they need at one place.

• Cloud Computing holds some strong promises:

- Scalable
- Highly Available
- Pay only for resources that you use.

• Cloud Service Providers do not provide any guarantee about your data safety.
 Conclusion
• Cloud Computing is not yet well understood.

• It can be modified to be used by everyone.

• Cloud is the next generation technology.

• Leaders in the industry, such as IBM, Google, and Microsoft have provided
their initiatives in promoting cloud.

• Big IT companies are also building their own version of cloud.

• In India because of internet bandwidth, this field is still not very popular.

• And lot more..
