Disadvantages. Conclusion.

With traditional desktop computing, we run copies of software programs on our own computer. The documents we create are stored on our own pc.

Although documents can be accessed from other computers on the network, they cant be accessed by computers outside the network. This is PC-centric.

With cloud computing, the software programs one use arent run

from ones personal computer, but are rather stored on servers

accessed via the Internet.

If a computer crashes, the software is still available for others

to use. Same goes for the documents one create; theyre stored on a collection of servers accessed via the Internet.

Anyone with permission can not only access the documents, but can also edit and collaborate on those documents in real

time.

Unlike traditional computing, this cloud computing model isnt PC-centric, its document-centric.

Key to the definition of cloud computing is the cloud itself. Here ,

the cloud is a large group of interconnected computers.

These computers can be personal computers or network servers; they

can be public or private.

This cloud of computers extends beyond a single company or enterprise. The applications and data served by the cloud are available to broad group of users, cross-enterprise and cross-platform.

Access is via the Internet. Any authorized user can access these docs

and apps from any computer over any Internet connection.

key properties of cloud computing:

Cloud Computing Is User Centric :
Once as a user are connected to the cloud, whatever is stored there documents, messages, images, applications, whateverbecomes

authorized to the user access them. In addition, not only is the data,
but one can also share it with others. In effect, any device that accesses your data in the cloud also becomes yours.

 Cloud Computing Is Task Centric:

Instead of focusing on the application and what it can do, the focus is on what one need done and how the application can do it for us. Traditional applicationsword processing, spreadsheets, email, and so

on are becoming less important than the documents they create.

Cloud Computing Is Powerful:

Connecting hundreds or thousands of computers together in a cloud creates a wealth of computing power impossible with a single desktop PC.

 Cloud Computing Is Accessible:

Because data is stored in the cloud, users can instantly retrieve more information from multiple repositories. We are not limited to a single source of data, as we do with a desktop PC.

Cloud Computing Is Intelligent:

With all the various data stored on the computers in a cloud, data mining
and analysis are necessary to access that information in an intelligent

manner.

 Cloud Computing Is Programmable:

Many of the tasks necessary with cloud computing must be automated.

For example, to protect the integrity of the data, information stored on a

single computer in the cloud must be replicated on other computers in the cloud. If that one computer goes offline, the clouds programming

automatically redistributes that computers data to a new computer in

the cloud.

How Cloud Computing Works?

Sun Microsystemss slogan is The network is the computer, and thats as good as any to describe how cloud computing works. In

essence, a network of computers functions as a single computer to serve

data and applications to users over the Internet. The network exists in the cloud of IP addresses that we know as the Internet, offers massive

computing power and storage capability, and enables wide scale group
collaboration.

Services

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS):
IaaS like Amazon Web Services provides virtual server instances with unique IP addresses. It blocks of storage on

demand. Customers use the provider's application program

interface (API) to start, stop, access and configure their virtual servers and storage.

 Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS):
PaaS in the cloud is defined as a set of software and product
development tools hosted on the provider's infrastructure.

Developers create applications on the provider's platform over the

Internet. PaaS providers may use APIs, website portals or gateway software installed on the customer's computer. Exp: Force.com and GoogleApps.

 Software-as-a-service:

In the SaaS cloud model, the vendor supplies the hardware

infrastructure, the software product and interacts with the user

through a front-end portal.

SaaS is a very broad market. Services can be anything from

Web-based email to inventory control and database processing. Because the service provider hosts both the application and the

data, the end user is free to use the service from anywhere.

Understanding Cloud Storage:

One of the primary uses of cloud computing is for data storage. With cloud storage, data is stored on multiple third-party servers, rather than on

the dedicated servers used in traditional networked data storage. When

storing data, the user sees a virtual server that is, it appears as if the data is stored in a particular place with a specific name. But that place doesnt exist in reality. Its just a pseudonym used to reference virtual space carved out of the cloud. In reality, the users data could be stored on any one or more of the computers used to create the cloud.

Advantages:
Collaborators:
The ability to share and edit documents in real time between multiple users
is one of the primary benefits of web-based applications; it makes collaborating easy and even fun.

Road Warriors:
You can access a single version of your document from any location.

 Cost- Conscious users:

Another group of users who should gravitate to cloud computing are those

who are cost conscious. With cloud computing you can save money on both
your hardware and software.

Grid computing
Grid computing links disparate computers, forming a single unified in frastructure.This facilitates the provisioning of computing resources, much like a public utility that can be on or off. Grid computing relies on software (middleware) that divides and directs pieces of a

program as one large image to a number of different computers.

Interoperability :
In order to ensure interoperability, it is necessary for decisionmakers to examine how different cloud service vendors import or

export data. Even though industry cloud computing standards do

not exist for APIs (application programming interfaces) or importing/exporting data, a number of vendors are collaborating to ensure interoperability for their clients.

Hidden Costs :
Such costs may include higher network charges for storage and database applications, or latency issues for users who may be

located far from cloud service providers

Surprises:
Experts recommend testing and pilot programs to ensure there will not be any unexpected outcomes. These may include tests checking application validation, allocating/releasing resources,

etc.

Thus cloud computing provide a super-computing power. This

cloud of computers extends beyond a single company or enterprise. The applications and data served by the cloud are available to broad group of users, cross-enterprise and crossplatform.
