Swiftly increasing demand of computational
calculations in the process of business, transferring of files
under certain protocols and data centers force to develop an
emerging technology cater to the services for computational
need, highly manageable and secure storage. To fulfill these
technological desires cloud computing is the best answer by
introducing various sorts of service platforms in high
computational environment. Cloud computing is the most
recent paradigm promising to turn around the vision of
“computing utilities” into reality. The term “cloud
computing” is relatively new, there is no universal agreement
on this definition. In this paper, we go through with different
area of expertise of research and novelty in cloud computing
domain and its usefulness in the genre of management. Even
though the cloud computing provides many distinguished
features, it still has certain sorts of short comings amidst with
comparatively high cost for both private and public clouds. It
is the way of congregating amasses of information and
resources stored in personal computers and other gadgets
and further putting them on the public cloud for serving
users. Resource management in a cloud environment is a
hard problem, due to the scale of modern data centers, their
interdependencies along with the range of objectives of the
different actors in a cloud ecosystem. Cloud computing is
turning to be one of the most explosively expanding
technologies in the computing industry in this era. It
authorizes the users to transfer their data and computation to
remote location with minimal impact on system performance.
With the evolution of virtualization technology, cloud
computing has been emerged to be distributed systematically
or strategically on full basis. The idea of cloud computing has
not only restored the field of distributed systems but also
fundamentally changed how business utilizes computing
today. Resource management in cloud computing is in fact a
typical problem which is due to the scale of modern data
centers, the variety of resource types and their inter
dependencies, unpredictability of load along with the range of
objectives of the different actors in a cloud ecosystem.

Presentation from Chesapeake Regional Tech Council\'s TechFocus Seminar on Cloud Security; Presented by Scott C Sadler, Business Development Executive - Cloud Computing, IBM US East Mid-Market & Channels on Thursday, October 27, 2011. http://www.chesapeaketech.org
Cloud computing is becoming mainstream as both public and private cloud options emerge. Public clouds like Amazon offer standardized and automated infrastructure on a pay-per-use model, while private clouds apply similar strategies internally. Key cloud types include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Short term, IaaS is most promising, while PaaS and SaaS have longer term potential. Private clouds are currently preferred over public clouds for control and availability reasons, though preferences vary by application. Cloud adoption creates opportunities for both customers and vendors through flexibility, scalability and cost benefits, but also risks like lack of maturity and cloud washing.
Cloud computing combines concepts of grid computing, utility computing, and autonomic computing. It allows companies to offer computing resources like applications and data storage as online services on a pay-per-use basis. Key characteristics include cost savings, reliability, scalability, and device/location independence. The basic components are clients, services, applications, platform, storage, and infrastructure. Common delivery models are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Deployment models include private, public, hybrid and community clouds.
Cloud is one of that kind of digital services that is already here and materialized. Cloud services landscape is becoming more and more dense but still there is a chance for telecom players to take part in that field. Unfortunately, Communication Service Providers are late to come in and therefore it is not sufficient to put computing capacities and just sell them anymore. The economy of scale reached by current industry leaders can barely be beaten even by the largest CSPs. Therefore, some other smarter options should be found to compete with likes of Amazon, Microsoft and Google. This ppt paper is just an effort to think of CSPs role in cloud services domain and any ideas and suggestions for further discussion is very welcome.
Thank you!
- The document discusses cloud computing and provides perspectives from IT professionals on what qualifies as cloud computing. It addresses different cloud models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
- Survey results show that IT professionals view hosted services as legitimate examples of cloud computing, rather than just the enabling technology. Factors like elastic scaling of resources and pay-per-use models are also seen as important.
- There is no single definition and different workloads may be suited to different deployment models between on-premise, hosted, dedicated, or shared/dynamic environments. The key is understanding individual requirements.
An Efficient MDC based Set Partitioned Embedded Block Image CodingDr. Amarjeet Singh
In this paper, fast, efficient, simple and widely used
Set Partitioned Embedded bloCK based coding is done on
Multiple Descriptions of transformed image. The maximum
potential of this type of coding can be exploited with discrete
wavelet transform (DWT) of images. Two correlated
descriptions are generated from a wavelet transformed image
to ensure meaningful transmission of the image over noise
prone wireless channels. These correlated descriptions are
encoded by set partitioning technique through SPECK coders
and transmitted over wireless channels. Quality of
reconstructed image at the decoder side depends upon the
number of descriptions received. More the number of
descriptions received at output side, more enhance the quality
of reconstructed image. However, if any of the multiple
description is lost, the receive can estimate it exploiting the
correlation between the descriptions. The simulations
performed on an image on MATLAB gives decent
performance and results even after half of the descriptions is
lost in transmission.

Big data and digital ecosystem mark skilton jan 2014 v1Mark Skilton
The convergence of data and technology in business has created a range of digital experiences that are revolutionizing all industries and organization.
This is not just a “top and tail” exercise of innovation and development resulting in quick fixes for parts of your organization to launch marketing services on a mobile device or data analysis but needs to be taken into a serious framework for your operating strategy that drives all touch points in the front and back of your organization. Often “technoconfusion” is created or even encouraged with lots of technologies and integration layers which result in a piecemeal digital strategy for business performance and an ineffective business case and governance process. Often the results are seen in lack of data visibility, increasing costs of platform integration and complex services and contractual issues limiting longer term choice.
The realities of the digital world are more subtle and expansive in 2014 and beyond; the old style of layers of technology is giving way to a new era of digital modularity of systems and devices that enable generative business growth effects from self-service and massive scaled social and marketplace services. This is born out with the exponential scaling of open APIs, massive data and social networking and the growth of a range of internet enabled modular devices and cloud enabled platforms.

1. Data governance such as data location, privacy, confidentiality, ownership
2. Security management such as data access, loss, destruction, breaches, and
points of failure
3. Business environment such as portability, interoperability, vendor reliability,
service commitments, cloud ecosystem, and maturity

SUMMARY RECAP - GAPS
• Semantics
Evolution of standards that enable automatic provisioning and comparative
meaning of service requests and fulfillment
• Usability
Development of standards and architecture issues that enable integration and
connectivity to be achieved up and down the stack
• Portability
Development of scalable data stores and “personalized” data that can be
portable and independent of the device and services

SYNOPSIS
The potential vision of Cloud Computing technology and the current adoption by consumers and providers of Cloud computing
vary widely. Whether these are real or perceived gaps between the technology and the desired successful outcomes, many
lessons in use of cloud computing are evolving across different Industry sectors, users and companies.
The rise of social networks and the convergence of business propositions of anything IT-as-a-Service is changing the way
devices, browsers, information and platforms are being used. The impact can be felt at the face of User computing and the
way personal and enterprise work gets done between organizations and marketplaces.
The session will focus on current development and research in new methods to better define and visualize the Business
Ecosystem and the role cloud Computing can play. We will introduce original new work on CIEL Cloud Interactive Ecosystem
Language Notation currently being developed as a potential way of creating new visual stories and use of Cloud enabled
business.
Takeaways
• Define the gaps and issues in defining an Ecosystem roadmap for cloud computing technology and business
• Identify specific Cloud Ecosystem Notation ways to better visualize the potential of Cloud in an organization and user
experience.
• Illustration of specific Vertical Industry Case Studies of Cloud Ecosystems In action to address security, Service level
compliance, monetization and competitiveness opportunities and challenges
• Specific examples of how to identify and resolve key decisions affecting a Business and the creation and sustainability of
its Cloud ecosystem
