CLOUD
COMPUTING
What is Cloud Computing?
 Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a
new class of network based computing that takes place
over the Internet,
◦ basically a step on from Utility Computing
 These platforms hide the complexity and details of the
underlying infrastructure from users and applications by
providing very simple graphical interface or API
 In addition, the platform provides on demand services,
that are always on, anywhere, anytime and any place.
 Pay for use and as needed, elastic
◦ scale up and down in capacity and functionalities
2
Cloud Summary
 Cloud computing is an umbrella term used to
refer to Internet based development and service
 A number of characteristics define cloud data,
applications services and infrastructure:
◦ Remotely hosted: Services or data are hosted on
remote infrastructure.
◦ Ubiquitous: Services or data are available from
anywhere.
◦ Co modified: The result is a utility computing model
similar to traditional that of traditional utilities, like gas
and electricity - you pay for what you would want!

Common Characteristics:
Low Cost Software
Virtualization Service Orientation
Advanced Security
Homogeneity
Massive Scale Resilient Computing
Geographic Distribution
Some Commercial Cloud Offerings
Resource Pooling
Broad Network Access
Rapid Elasticity
Measured Service
On Demand Self-Service
Several large Web companies are now exploiting the fact that they have data
storage capacity that can be hired out to others

What is the purpose and benefits?
 Cloud computing enables companies and applications to be
infrastructure-less.
 Clients can:
• Put their data on the platform instead of on their own desktop
PCs and/or on their own servers.
“no-need-to-know” applications interface with the
infrastructure via the APIs.
The “flexibility and elasticity” allows these systems to scale
utilising the resources of all kinds
• CPU, storage, server capacity, load balancing, and
databases
The “pay as much as used and needed” type of utility
computing and the “always on!, anywhere and any place” 8
Opportunities and
Challenges
◦ It enables services to be used without any understanding of
their infrastructure.
◦ Cloud computing works using economies of scale:
◦ Data and services are stored remotely but accessible from
“anywhere”.
◦ In parallel there has been backlash against cloud computing:
◦ Use of cloud computing means dependence on others and
that could possibly limit flexibility and innovation:
◦ Security could prove to be a big issue:
◦ There are also issues relating to policy and access:
 If your data is stored abroad whose policy do you adhere to?
 What happens if the remote server goes down?
 How will you then access files?
 There have been cases of users being locked out of accounts and losing
access to data.
9
Advantages Disadvantages
Improved performance Requires a constant Internet
connection
Reduced software costs: Does not work well with low-speed
connections
Instant software updates: Features might be limited:
Improved document format
compatibility.
Can be slow:
Unlimited storage capacity Stored data might not be secure:
Increased data reliability: Stored data can be lost
Universal document access HPC Systems
Device independence General Concerns
The Future:
 Many of the activities loosely grouped together under cloud computing
have already been happening and centralised computing activity is not a
new phenomena
 Grid Computing was the last research-led centralised approach
However there are concerns that the mainstream adoption of cloud
computing could cause many problems for users
 Many new open source systems appearing that you can install and run on
your local cluster
◦ should be able to run a variety of applications on these systems

Editor's Notes

  1. ScalabilityInfrastructure capacity allows for traffic spikes and minimizes delays. ResiliencyCloud providers have mirrored solutions to minimize downtime in the event of a disaster. This type of resiliency can give businesses the sustainability they need during unanticipated events. Homogeneity: No matter which cloud provider and architecture an organization uses, an open cloud will make it easy for them to work with other groups, even if those other groups choose different providers and architectures. On-demand self-service. A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service’s provider. Broad network access. Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs). Resource pooling. Multi-tenant model.. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g., country, state, or datacenter). Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory, network bandwidth, and virtual machines. Rapid elasticity. Capabilities can be rapidly and elastically provisioned, in some cases automatically, to quickly scale out and rapidly released to quickly scale in. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be purchased in any quantity at any time. Measured Service. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts).
  2. IaaSdelivers 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. PaaSdeliver a computing platform where the developers can develop their own applications. SaaSis a model of software deployment where the software applications are provided to the customers as a service.
