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,

5. 005
Enter the cloud
Cloud computing is Internet-based computing,
whereby shared resources,
software and information are provided to computers and other
devices on-demand, like the electricity grid.
The cloud computing is a culmination of numerous attempts at
large scale
computing with seamless access to virtually
limitless resources.

Amazon EC2
Amazon EC2 is one large complex web service.
EC2
provided an API for instantiating computing
instances with any of the operating systems
supported.
It can facilitate computations through Amazon
Machine Images (AMIs) for various other models.

7. 007
Windows Azure
Enterprise-level on-demand capacity builder
Fabric of cycles and storage available on-
request for a cost
You have to use Azure API to work with the
infrastructure offered by Microsoft
Significant features: web role, worker role ,
blob storage, table and drive-storage

Advantages of Cloud Computing
Instant software updates:
Another advantage to cloud computing is that you are no longer faced
with choosing between obsolete software and high upgrade costs.
When the application is web-based, updates happen automatically
available the next time you log into the cloud.
When you access a web-based application, you get the latest version
without needing to pay for or download an upgrade.
Improved document format compatibility.

Advantages of Cloud Computing
Improved performance:
With few large programs hogging your computer's memory,
you will see better performance from your PC.
Computers in a cloud computing system boot and run faster
because they have fewer programs and processes loaded
into memory…
Reduced software costs:

Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
Requires a constant Internet connection
Cloud computing is impossible if you cannot
connect to the Internet.

11. 011
Disadvantages of CloudComputing
Does not work well with low-speed connections:
Similarly, a low-speed Internet connection, such as that
found with dial-up services, makes cloud computing
painful at best and often impossible.
Web-based applications require a lot of bandwidth to
download, as do large documents.
Features might be limited

Conclusion
Cloud Computing is in a period of strong growth, but this
technology is still has some issues of security and somewhat
it is immature. Government Technology Research Alliance
(GTRA) research showed that the most common concern
about implementing Cloud Computing technology was
security.
The real value of cloud computing is that it makes your
library related software and data available transparently and
everywhere including in latest available smart pho
