I have read a article on Cloud Computing and decided to post it. This article is written by one of the famous s/w engineer Gagan Kundra .
Cloud computing is a marketing
term for technologies that provide computation, software, data access,
and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the
physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the
services. A parallel to this concept can be drawn with the electricity
grid, wherein end-users consume power without needing to understand the
component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs
whenever someone comes on stage, the world is alarmed. Who let this
time show little device that will change people's lives. Why is Apple
the company, who gave us a iPod, Macintosh and iPhone are such tools.
Jobs done something like this again. The only difference was that he did
not have any tools. Just talked about a similar service to the people
on the entire data and information from different devices can. Aiclaud
Apple is the name of the service. But it's not actually Apple, but shows
the power of cloud computing. Service's name may be, whether the
service to be Apple, or Google, or Microsoft, but cloud computing in the
coming days will sputter. Tech - pundits say that it will change our
lives. Companies like Infosys have been predicted that almost all the
work in the coming days the world will be on clouds. Just remember that
no water in these clouds, but digital data - like - is filled with such
information and other associated material. And the clouds in the sky,
but on a giant computer - the server is called - are found.
Cloud computing is
getting to be too much nowadays, but it is not a new thing. If you are
on the Internet, so that - unconsciously you will also have to use it. I
can not believe the e-mail as simple as taking the example of an
Internet service. Most people e-mail on your computer, do not download,
but leave it on the internet to see. Who your computer's hard drive to
the e-mail wants to fill? But you never thought that this e-mail that
you have left over the Internet or the Web, Where saving is kept, so you
whenever you want your e-mail account, going to see it. The answer is
simple - to cloud. You probably do not know, but nearly every time you
leave something on the web, the data contained on these clouds. Whether
it be a picture on Facebook, you - a video on the tube, or a new article
on your blog. If he left you on the web, you are using cloud computing.
You will have noticed that you leave the stuff on the internet, on any
computer or cell phone or a tablet-like device can see. After all, your
e-mail or Facebook Most office and home computer or your phone may get.
This is the greatest power of cloud computing and specialty. It kept you on the Internet, its content or data from anywhere, anytime viewing and gives the ability to change.
A few years ago was meant to use any
software to download it to your computer or cellphone. Then the software
could only be played on computers or cell phones. Today, via cloud
computing could use the same software, with nothing to download,
virtually any device - phone, tablet, computer or even from television.
Consider that the cloud has taken the place of your computer. Now,
Google's Google Docs, which runs entirely on the internet and gives you
almost the same features you get with Microsoft Office, there is no need
to download. It will remain on the files and documents, you can look at
any computer or cellphone. and Google Docs is just an example. Dozens
of world power and benefits of cloud computing companies trying to use
it are given. Amazon's cloud service to their customers, keep your
favorite songs have the chance.
Microsoft has put many
products on the cloud and its famous office software is also put on some
cloud. And now Apple has also stepped into cloud computing. Aiclaud
service people like him - look at the software and information and to
use the facility will offer many tools. Interestingly, many are free of
cloud computing service. To use Google Docs and Aiclaud you do not have
light pockets at all. like - like an increasing number of software will
run on the web, anyway - so we will run the digital cloud. Our work on
certain devices, but will depend on our Internet connection. The
Internet will be able to do or where we will be able to satisfy
yourself. Whether we are or tablet computer, or cell phone, or TV, or
game console, or to connect to the Internet even if the clock. Your work
and be entertained, where would the internet. He will not be tied to a
device.
=========================================================================
The simple definition: It’s a style of computing based on shared,
elastic resources delivered to users in a self-service, metered manner
using web technologies. Yet, if you ask five people “what is cloud
computing?” you can expect five different answers. Why? Because what
matters to them is not what cloud computing is, but what it does for
them.
To fully understand cloud computing across an enterprise, you need to
understand the different functional benefits driving cloud’s
popularity. Let’s look at cloud through the lens of different roles in
an enterprise, and then think about how to craft a cohesive cloud
strategy that works for everyone in the enterprise. Let’s start with
these important roles
.
Business Leaders
This group wants cloud for modern, personalized applications. In the
digital economy, companies must execute in real-time, from providing
customer experiences to building talent-centric HCM strategies. Your
customers want to seamlessly interact with their brand, wherever and
whenever they want on social media, mobile, in-store, through the call
center, on your website, and when making a purchase online. Speed,
integrated processes, and analytics are vital. For these people, cloud
often means
" SaaS-based applications " that are fast, simple, and give the business side more control.
IT Leaders
IT also sees enormous value in the cloud, particularly in the
application and platform services that let internal IT groups offload
technology management. CIOs cannot forget existing infrastructure
requirements when they evaluate cloud computing, and cloud services such
as
" PaaS and IaaS
"can help them integrate applications and create consistent workflows
across multiple systems—both on premises and in the cloud—while
maintaining security and performance. As a result, IT can move away from
technology administration and concentrate on business innovation.
Cloud Builders
Private cloud deployment is booming, as companies see the benefits of
faster provisioning, on demand access, and scalability. Cloud builders
can help their IT department become agile, cost-efficient private cloud
providers. They view cloud from a lifecycle management perspective, from
resource management and monitoring to capacity planning and chargeback
mechanisms.
Developers
For this group, moving development and testing environments to
" PaaS
"platforms allows them to cut significant time from the development
cycle by removing management tasks, cutting complexity, and increasing
developer productivity.
Total Cloud
The key then is to build a cloud strategy that helps every group
define not only what cloud computing means to them, but also how to best
use it.
The best use might be to build a cloud behind your firewall. Or it
could be to subscribe to cloud applications and compute services from a
trusted cloud vendor. Another option is to use infrastructure or
application that is dedicated to your organization but hosted by a
vendor or a local partner.
Most likely, you’ll be using several of the above of the above
scenarios at once. So it makes sense to choose a cloud provider with
solutions that are preintegrated and tested to work across the entire
stack, whether in your data center or in the cloud. That way, even
though cloud computing means different things to different people, you
will have a single, complete, and integrated platform to serve them all.
Database
