This document discusses the need for consistent measurement in cloud computing to enable utility-style pricing models. It explores different methods for measuring computing resources like CPU, memory, storage and networking. Accurately measuring usage allows for charging based on actual consumption rather than allocated resources. This could open the door to more meaningful comparisons between internal and external cloud options, treating computing more like a utility that can be easily evaluated and shifted between providers. Standardizing measurement is key to realizing the benefits of utility computing.

ABSTRACT: Cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm for delivering computing services over the Internet. Most chemicals companies still are at an early stage in their adoption and usage of cloud computing. Their migration to cloud computing is not a question of "if", but "when." Monitoring assets in remote locations, round-the-clock surveillance, and remote access to data are some of the key factors that are prompting the chemical industry to rethink about the adoption of cloud technology. This paper provides the benefits and challenges of adopting cloud computing in chemical industry.
KEY WORDS: cloud computing, chemical industry
The document summarizes the key findings from a survey of 110 cloud computing implementation projects:
1) Primary motivations for cloud adoption were IT efficiencies, easy consumer interfaces, and new charging models, while security concerns, pricing strategies, complexity, rapid technology changes, lack of standardization, and unclear value propositions inhibited adoption.
2) Integrated vendor offerings and ongoing support were in high demand. Service design was the most used ITIL discipline currently but image management and security management are expected to grow in importance.
3) While development/test workloads currently dominate, respondents expect critical production workloads to be common in clouds within two years, and public cloud use to double with decreased internal use.
Through these and other internal cloud implementations,
IBM is seeing first and the impact that cloud can have on the
business. There is little question about cloud computing’s potential
to drive efficiency and lower costs. But the workloads a company
selects for migration to the cloud and their affinity for the
attributes inherent in the cloud model have a lot to do with
cloud’s success as a transformative tool for the business.

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.
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.
NCOIC Enterprise Cloud Computing - Kevin JacksonGovCloud Network
The document summarizes a discussion on enterprise cloud computing that took place at the World Summit of Cloud Computing. It discusses three approaches that were proposed: [1] establishing a "standards body" to develop unified cloud interface standards, [2] adopting existing proven cloud technologies as standards, and [3] taking a "customer driven" approach where industry use cases define the standards. While each approach has benefits, a hybrid approach is suggested that incorporates elements of all three.
Infosys – Cloud Business Value ArchitectureInfosys
This document discusses the emerging concept of business value architecture for cloud computing. It proposes that cloud computing can be thought of as consisting of four waves or layers of innovation and business value:
1) Infrastructure cloud focuses on providing computing power as a service to reduce IT costs.
2) Application development cloud provides operating environments and tools to accelerate application deployment.
3) Functional cloud offers software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for areas like ERP to enable rapid process changes.
4) The final layer is business cloud, where entire business models and industry segments could eventually move to cloud environments.

Similar to Metered IT - The Path to Utility Computing (20)
Giga om 6fusion webinar iaas marketplaces - final for slideshareValencell, Inc.
GigaOm Research held a webinar on IT infrastructure marketplaces and the impact of utility computing. Paul Miller moderated a panel that included:
David Linthicum, SVP at Cloud Technology Partners
Jo Maitland, Cloud Research Director, GigaOm
Rob Bissett, VP Product Management, 6fusion
It was an open dialogue that covered a range of topics in the emerging arena of IaaS marketplaces, including:
Why do we need a market for IaaS?
How markets succeed… and fail
Comparing apples, oranges, and straight bananas
How do we get there?
This document summarizes the results of a 2013 cloud and IT metering survey. 205 organizations responded to questions about their cloud usage, infrastructure, spending expectations, and concerns. Key findings include that most use public IaaS for test/dev and production, with cost savings and flexibility as top benefits. Private cloud is used more for production, with flexibility and cost savings as top benefits. Spending on both public and private clouds is expected to increase in 2013 for most respondents. Security is a top concern for both public and private clouds. IT metering is used by 39% primarily through on-premise or custom applications to optimize costs and efficiency.
