This document provides an introduction to cloud computing and examples of cloud services. It defines cloud computing as the delivery of computing resources as a service over the internet. It discusses public, private and community cloud models. It then gives examples of cloud services for data storage (Amazon S3), computing (Amazon EC2), productivity (Google Docs), finance (Mint), libraries (Consuls), databases (EbscoHost), and administration (Banner). The assignment is to create a Google Docs account and share a document.

1. INTRODUCTION TO
CLOUD
COMPUTING DAY 1
Woo-hoo Wednesday
Edward Iglesias

2. WHAT IS IT?
 Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather
than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and
information are provided to computers and other devices as a
metered service over a network (typically the Internet).

3. IT DOES HAVE ISSUES

4. STRUCTURE

5. PUBLIC CLOUD
 A public cloud is one based on the standard cloud computing
model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as
applications and storage, available to the general public over the
Internet. Public cloud services may be free or offered on a pay-
per-usage model.

6. COMMUNITY CLOUD
 Community cloud shares infrastructure between several
organizations from a specific community with common concerns
(security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed
internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.
The costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud (but
more than a private cloud), so only some of the benefits of cloud
computing are realized

7. PRIVATE CLOUD
 Private cloud is infrastructure operated solely for a single
organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and
hosted internally or externally

8. EXAMPLES: DATA STORAGE
 Amazon S3 http://aws.amazon.com/s3/
 Write, read, and delete objects containing from 1 byte to 5 terabytes of data
each. The number of objects you can store is unlimited.
 Each object is stored in a bucket and retrieved via a unique, developer-
assigned key.

9. EXAMPLE: ELASTIC CLOUD
 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service
that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is
designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

10. EXAMPLE: PRODUCTIVITY: GOOGLE
DOCS
 Google Docs is a free, Web-based office suite, and data storage
service offered by Google. It allows users to create and edit
documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users.
Google Docs combines the features of Writely and Spreadsheets
with a presentation program incorporating technology designed by
Tonic Systems. Data storage of files up to 1 GB total in size was
introduced on January 13, 2011, documents created inside
Google Docs do not count towards this quota.

11. EXAMPLE: FINANCE: MINT
 Mint pulls in all your accounts.
 We connect your checking, savings, loans, and credit card
accounts in one place, so you can see balances and
transactions at any time.

12. EXAMPLE: ILS: CONSULS
 http://www.consuls.org/
 Through java based client (Millennium) allows for read write
access to complex online database facilitating transactions.

13. EXAMPLE: DATABASE:
EBSCOHOST
 EBSCOHost
 Search ALL EBSCOHost databases (Academic and Business
Source Premier, PsycINFO, MLA Bibliography, ERIC and others).
Try the mobile version for smart phones

14. EXAMPLE: BANNER
 Banner is an administrative software application developed
specifically for higher education institutions by Systems and
Computer Technology Corporation (SCT). Banner maintains student,
alumni, financial and personnel data.
 The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Office functions as the
resource, planning, and liaison office for all ERP Banner
projects. The ERP Manager serves as a CCSU lead
coordinator/project manager for Banner system upgrades with all
major areas of the University, CSU System and each University
location. As a CCSU point-of-contact for Banner projects, the ERP
Office is directly involved with third party software interfaces and
programming projects especially the areas directly involved with ERP
day-to-day University operations.

15. ASSIGNMENT
 Create a google docs account.
 Create a google doc.
 Share that doc.
