Cloud computing provides standardized IT capabilities that are always available and can automatically scale on demand. It offers two main types - public cloud computing which is available to the general public, and private cloud computing which is for exclusive use by a single organization. The key benefits are reduced costs through a pay-per-use model and efficient resource utilization, while the main drawbacks are concerns around security, reliability, and contractual obligations.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources over the internet. It offers several advantages including cost savings, scalability, increased reliability and accessibility of data from any internet-connected device. While cloud computing reduces costs and complexity, organizations should carefully consider total cost of ownership factors and security when choosing a cloud service provider. Service level agreements are important to ensure adequate performance and protection of data.

Consider Industrial Design Leaders Involvement in Specialized WorkshopsSergio Joao
Most chemical engineering bachelor programs integrate the expertise and guidance of experienced industrial design leaders (IDLs) through the Process Design Project course. This course becomes a fundamental opportunity for students to kick-start their career and allows IDLs to share their invaluable experience. This presentation highlights the 4 key principles used by IDLs to successfully develop these future engineers in a demanding but rewarding project.
An approach is proposed to involve IDLs in specialised workshops as learning accelerator sessions that would benefit students for their design project. Topics such as how to control a process, building P&IDs, modelling with simulation software, creating HAZOPs, health & safety, and project management could be covered and would elevate the students understanding and, in turn, the quality of their project deliverables. This will not only prepare them for their projects and careers, but it is also an opportunity to develop a strong community of IDLs around their university.

3) Descriptions of the key types of cloud services including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) along with examples of major providers such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
Cloud computing refers to accessing software and data storage over the internet rather than locally. There are three main types of cloud services - Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). SaaS provides end users access to online applications, PaaS provides developers platforms to build apps, and IaaS provides network architects computational resources like storage, servers, and networking. Cloud computing offers advantages like reduced costs, scalability, and accessibility but also risks like dependence on providers and potential performance issues.
Cloud computing involves delivering computing services over the internet instead of on local hard drives. It has its origins in the 1950s with mainframe computing and evolved with virtual machines in the 1970s and VPN services in the 1990s. There are different types of cloud including public, private, and hybrid clouds. Cloud services provide software, platforms, and infrastructure as a service and offer benefits like scalability, reliability, and reduced costs but also have disadvantages like potential bandwidth issues and performance impacts.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services available over the internet. It allows users to access applications from anywhere using a web browser. Cloud computing offers advantages like cost savings, speed, security, unlimited storage and access to data from anywhere. While cloud services like AWS have become very popular, cloud computing also presents risks like security vulnerabilities and inconsistent performance on shared infrastructure. The growth of cloud computing is impacting IT jobs by creating new roles while reducing needs for some traditional IT positions.

20. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
In IaaS, you outsource the hardware.
In such cases, it is not just the
computing power that you rent; it also
includes power, cooling, networking,
and cloud storage. When you choose
to run your applications at this cloud
service level, you are responsible for
everything on the stack that is
required to operate above it.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
In the middle, we have Platform as
a Service, or PaaS. At this service
level, the vendor takes care of the
underlying infrastructure for you,
giving you only a platform with
which to build and host your
application(s).
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Software applications that are
available only over the internet, fall
into the Software as a Service
category, or SaaS. The simplest
example to understand is email.

Software becomes about half of segment profit
The role of software at IBM has evolved and grown dramatically in recent years and changed the very nature of the company.
If you consider how the mix of our business has changed, you can begin to understand just how strategically important software is to IBM. In the past few years, IBM sold our PC division and also built a services business with our acquisition of PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting. And software has gone from being a relatively small to a critical part of our revenue stream. Between 2000 and 2009, our software revenue has grown from US$12.6 billion to US$21.4 billion, with almost US$6 billion profit growth and an annual growth rate of more than12 percent. Software has also grown from 25 to 42 percent of IBM profits.
Software is not only a rapidly growing part of IBM’s business—it is an area where we will continue to invest heavily. From 2007 to 2009, IBM invested US$8.2 billion in software acquisitions and US$9.5 billion in software research and development. We have also shifted the IBM software focus from middleware to business process– and business outcome–focused software across our brands, including
IBM Information Management software: SPSS, Cognos
IBM WebSphere® software: ILOG
IBM Tivoli® software: Micromuse, Vallent
IBM Rational® software: Telelogic
IBM Lotus® software: WebDialogs
IBM will focus future acquisition investments of approximately US$20 billion in key growth areas that leverage IBM’s global reach and scale. Since the beginning of 2000, we have acquired 130 companies in strategic areas including analytics, cloud, security and Smarter Commerce.

Engines of Growth:
Today, our strategic imperatives have become a significant part of IBM. Together, cloud, analytics, mobile, social and security represented 27 percent of IBM’s revenue in 2014.
IBM generated more than 3,000 patents in these areas in 2014 and remains differentiated in our ability to integrate these technologies with our clients’ core business processes, data and systems.

Watson no es sólo un súper motor de búsqueda. Puede encontrar una aguja en un pajar, pero también entiende el pajar.
Los sistemas de computación cognitiva como Watson son capaces de:
Entender las sutilezas y los matices del lenguaje humano, al imitar la forma en que las personas razonan y procesan la información.
Generar hipótesis; mientras que los sistemas de computación tradicional son programados para calcular rápidamente y ejecutar tareas deterministas, los sistemas cognitivos analizan la información y proponen potenciales respuestas con cierto grado de confianza.
Reprogramarse de manera continua a sí mismos, en base a lo que han aprendido de sus interacciones con los datos.

Cloud, Why it Matters?
Concept:
Utility Computing, John McCarthy 1960, Parkhill 1966
Computing resources will be provided as electricity
Evolution (commoditisation): Innovation->Product->Service
Technology:
Virtualization, Gerald Popek 1974
Timing:
Ancho de banda
Attitude:
There’s no real value in IT, it’s commoditised, it’s more like the cost of doing business
Typically the discussion of test/dev in the cloud does not address production.
A hybrid approach can address production requirements as well as deliver benefits of public cloud for test/dev.
Splitting the application lifecycle across public and private, allows the benefits of each type of cloud to be realised.
However to realise these benefits, the workloads have to be easily portable between cloud environments and the fixed assets of the Dedicated On-Premise cloud have to be effectively utilised when production workload is low.
Open standards and workload portability allow fixed resources to be effectively utilised and PAYG only when peak workload requires.
Security and networking is simplified as production/client data only remains within client DCs.
User acceptance testing (UAT) is the formal testing with respect to user needs, requirements, and business processes conducted to determine whether or not a system satisfies the acceptance criteria and to enable the user, customers or other authorized entity to determine whether or not to accept the system. Acceptance testing is also known as end-user testing, operational acceptance testing (OAT) or field (acceptance) testing.
System integration testing (SIT) is a testing process that exercises a software system's coexistence with others. With multiple integrated systems, assuming that each have already passed system testing
Can also be applied to DR. Production and Pre-Production workloads shared across two data centres providing DR for production workloads.
Manage costs within budget
Schedule workloads and prioritisation dependant on available resources.
Schedule dev/test projects based on peak workload expectation, manage costs within available budget. Burst workloads to commodity cloud under peak workload conditions.
Chargeback to business units/Projects based on capacity consumption – type and utilisation.
Variable income to IT dependant on business load. Execess workload backed off to public cloud to minimise investment
Lower priority test workloads deferred to offsite resources
Very low priority workloads deferred to pay as you go variable commodity infrastructure
Resource planning for onsite verus’s offsite. – long term investment in DCs or movement to completely outsourced infrastructure
Charge back of resources used
Benefits from using pay as you go pricing. – variability of external resources is essential.
It is estimated that by 2016, more than one-fourth of the world’s applications will be available in the cloud, and 85 percent of new software is now being built for cloud deployment.
The NIST definition of Cloud Computing, Sept 2011

Resource pooling. The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. 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, and network bandwidth.
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, tablets, laptops, and workstations).
Rapid elasticity. Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated 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). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.
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 provider.
Let’s see how everything stacks up:
Core IT represents everything you own and manage in your data centers (the full stack pictured here). This is still a critical part of enterprise IT - let’s take a look why it is beneficial and what it takes to manage all of this.
Core IT Benefits
As stable and customizable as the customer wants - the only main limitation is cost.
Necessary for certain solutions (Core IT still has value in many scenarios i.e. transaction processing)
Houses a lot of the investments most companies have already made (customer data, inventory, SAP, you name it).
Core IT Time Commitment
Typically takes weeks to setup an environment and deploy an initial app - customer manages entire stack pictured here
Have to maintain hardware and software as well (think environment uptime, fixes, upgrades). Dedicated staff necessary.
Thus, Core IT doesn’t lend itself to the experimental nature of development in the cloud/app revolution
Infrastructure as a Service (and specifically IBM’s acquisition of SoftLayer) was the cloud’s initial answer to the need for faster deployments, faster environment setup, etc… by abstracting the infrastructure from the customer.
IaaS Benefits
Infrastructure (Networking, Storage, and Servers) managed by service provider.
Most customizable cloud offering
Solutions where` customizability of VM, OS, Middleware, or Runtime needed
IaaS Time Commitment
Customer sets up and manages VM (in some cases), OS, Middleware, and Runtime - these still take at least a matter of days to setup and reach an initial deployment
Maintenance/upgrades necessary (VM, OS, middleware, runtime).
We’ve realized that, in a large number of use cases, our customers want to move even faster and don’t need to spend the time managing the platform (VM, OS, Middleware, Runtime). Timing is critical if your apps (and the functionality they provide to your employees and/or customers) are to keep up with the new expectations and competition the app revolution has generated. IBM’s answer: Bluemix (platform as a service).
PaaS Benefits
Setup your environment and deploy apps quicker than any other offering
Service provider manages the Infrastructure AND the platform
PaaS Time Commitment
Minutes to initial deployment - developer can handle everything on his/her own
Maintenance and upgrades of Platform and Infrastructure handled by service provider => Focus on your apps and their data
http://www.ektron.com/Blogs/Fred-Bals/Pizza-as-a-Service---On-Prem,-IaaS,-PaaS-and-SaaS-Explained-through-Pie-%28not-Pi%29/
Let us first look at the traditional on-premises world of content management systems. In the pizza world that translates into you doing everything yourself – everything from getting the ingredients together, to having the equipment needed to turn those ingredients into a cooked pizza, to supplying the dining table and beverages for your complete pizza dinner. If you’re into creating your own home-grown CMS, I suppose you could stretch the analogy to say that you’ve gone to the extreme of growing your own tomatoes, milking your own cows and kneading your own dough.
Think of “Take and Bake” or “Go Get that Frozen Pizza” as an analogy for Infrastructure as a Service. All you need worry about is the stuff needed to warm and serve that pizza. In the CMS world, IaaS usually means having the vendor take care of the hardware running the content management system, making sure the server, storage, load balancers, network, and what-all are at peak performance.
With Platform as a Service, you don’t even have to manage the underlying operating hardware or software. In the pizza world, all you need to do is set the table, because the pie will be delivered to you ready-to-eat. In the CMS world, the only thing you need to be concerned with is the CMS itself. The infrastructure and platform is taken care of by the vendor.
And finally, we end up with Software as a Service. Pizza-wise, you’re dining out and enjoying a thin-crust or deep dish Chicago-style pie. In CMS-land, you’re free to concentrate on content for your website and your marketing initiatives, and don’t have to worry about patches, security, and maintenance upgrades.

Finally, a quick look at our customer base will confirm that the innovators, visionaries and leaders building the next-generation of Internet scale apps are coming to SoftLayer.
And this technology is deployed at scale today. Whether it is at companies like:
FitBit . Internet centric companies and products like the Fitbit Tracker, a wireless-enabled wearable device that measures data such as the number of steps walked, quality of sleep, and other personal metrics.
Or Bump an application created by Bump Technologies for the Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems, that allows two smartphone users to physically bump their phones together to transfer contact information, photos, and files to each other over the Internet.
But it’s also enterpise companies.. Companies like:
Repsol S.A. a Spanish multinational oil and gas company based in Madrid, Spain. It is the 15th largest petroleum refining company according to the Fortune Global 500 list,[3] employing over 40,000 people worldwide.
Or LAN Airlines S.A. a group of South American Airlines based in Santiago, Chile and part of LATAM Airlines Group, Latin America's largest Airline holding.
So we have internet centric innovators, and game-changing companies – who have built businesses that the world uses every day. Applications that we simply expect to be there – when we want them.. Ready to use… And there are enterprise customers who are using SoftLayer to transform their business, manage costs, drive innovation and stay ahead of the competition.
You can look at the rest of these. What do they have in common?
Internet Scale
Innovation
A reliance on the underlying platform.
That says a lot about the technology that SoftLayer delivers!
