• Cloud represents a commoditization for the delivery of IT


supported services.
• There is not one single cloud, but rather the coexistence of
multiple types of clouds based on different workloads,
programming models, and specific application
requirements.

Definition of Cloud Computing


• “Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction”

• According to NIST ( National Institutes of Standards and Technology)

Key characteristics of cloud computing


1. On-demand self-service
–Focuses on delivering IT services driven by user requests
–No human interaction with the cloud provider
–Cloud computing provides a means of delivering computing services that
makes the underlying technology, beyond the user device, almost invisible.

2. Ubiquitous network access


-Focuses on delivering IT services anytime, anywhere, and through user-chosen
devices
–Users accessing services via Internet technologies expect a secure, “always-
on” computing infrastructure that delivers as easily and reliably as electricity
from a wall outlet

Key characteristics of cloud computing

3. Pool of virtualized resources


-Focuses on delivering IT services through resource pools that can expand and
contract based on the requirements of the underlying workload and the usage
characteristics.

4. Utility-based pricing / Pay –As – you - GO


-Focuses on delivering IT services that can be metered for usage and charged
for (if needed) through pricing models including subscription, usage pricing.
Flexible pricing models allow for subscription and usage-based pricing. Using
the cloud, you can rent the hardware and software you need rather than
purchasing them outright.
-Service level agreements (SLAs): The quality of service when using clouds is
negotiated and measured against service level agreements, or SLAs.

Why use clouds?


1. Better capital utilization.
- Pay-as-you-go
- The unit cost of on-demand capacity may be higher than the unit cost per time
unit of fixed capacity; offset by no charge when capacity is not being used.
- In the traditional model you provision for peak loads, or the maximum
utilization. With cloud computing you are charged on a usage basis.
2. Accelerate software development, deployment, and testing.
-Faster provisioning of resources is a key benefit in using clouds. Instead of
taking weeks to set up the environment, it can be provisioned in minutes.
3. Elasticity of resources
-Scalable and flexible use of resources : With cloud computing you have access
to a pool of virtualized resources that can expand and contract on demand.

Why use clouds?


4. Access to complex infrastructure and resources without internal
resources.
Provisioning of infrastructure and application services can be outsourced to
cloud providers.

5. Support for geographically distributed users.


Access to resources in the cloud are based on standard Internet transports and
protocols.

6. New business opportunities.


There are new business opportunities for providers to host cloud services and
vendor applications.

Mr.B.K.Vargis, Astt.Professor

Important Findings

• Studies have shown that in distributed computing


environments, up to 85% of computing capacity sits idle.
Cloud-based solutions make better use of computing
resources by making resources available on demand —
when they are needed, and only at that time. Consumers pay
for only what they use. Smart metering and billing tracks
actual usage according to defined metrics and translates
them into either an internal chargeback or an invoice for the
public cloud customer.
