Introduction to Cloud
Computing
Lecture 5
Danyal Farhat
FAST School of Computing
NUCES Lahore
Cloud Enabling Technologies
Lecture’s Agenda
• Broadband Networks and Internet
Architecture

• Data Center Technology

• Virtualization Technology

• Multitenant Technology
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
• All clouds must be connected to a network. This inevitable
requirement forms an inherent dependency on internetworking.

• Cloud consumers have the option of accessing the cloud using only
private and dedicated network links in LANs, although most clouds
are Internet-enabled.

• Established and deployed by ISPs, the Internet’s largest backbone


networks are strategically interconnected by core routers that
connect the world’s multinational networks.
Internet Service Providers (Cont.)

Introduction: 1-5
Internet Reference Model and Protocol
Stack

Introduction: 1-6
Broadband Networks and Internet Architecture – Key
Points
• Cloud consumers and cloud providers typically use the Internet to
communicate, which is based on a decentralized provisioning and
management model and is not controlled by any centralized
entities.

• The main components of internetworking architecture are


connectionless packet switching and router-based
interconnectivity, which use network routers and switches.

• Network bandwidth and latency are characteristics that influence


QoS, which is heavily impacted by network congestion.
Lecture’s Agenda
• Broadband Networks and Internet
Architecture

• Data Center Technology

• Virtualization Technology

• Multitenant Technology
Data Center Technology
• Grouping IT resources in close proximity with one another, rather
than having them geographically dispersed, allows for power
sharing, higher efficiency in shared IT resource usage, and improved
accessibility for IT personnel.

• These are the advantages that naturally popularized the data center
concept.

• Modern data centers exist as specialized IT infrastructure used to


house centralized IT resources, such as servers, databases,
networking and telecommunication devices, and software systems.

Data Center Technology (Cont.)

Introduction: 1-11
Data Center Technology – Key Points
• A data center is a specialized IT infrastructure that houses
centralized IT resources, such as servers, databases, and software
systems.

• Data center IT hardware is comprised of standardized commodity


servers of increased computing power and storage capacity, while
storage system technologies include disk arrays and storage
virtualization.
Data Center Technology – Key Points
• Technologies used to increase storage capacity include Direct
Attached Storage (DAS), Storage Area Network (SAN), and Network
Attached Storage (NAS).

• Computing hardware technologies include rack-mounted server


arrays and multi-core CPU architectures, while specialized high-
capacity network hardware and technology, such as content-aware
routing, LAN and SAN fabrics, and NAS gateways, are used to
improve network connectivity.

• Reading Assignment: DAS, SAN and NAS.


Lecture’s Agenda
• Broadband Networks and Internet
Architecture

• Data Center Technology

• Virtualization Technology

• Multitenant Technology
Virtualization Technology
• Virtualization is the process of converting a physical IT resource into
a virtual IT resource.
• Most types of IT resources can be virtualized, including:
Servers – A physical server can be abstracted into a virtual server.
Storage – A physical storage device can be abstracted into a virtual storage
device or a virtual disk.
Network – Physical routers and switches can be abstracted into logical
network fabrics, such as VLANs.
Power – A physical UPS and power distribution units can be abstracted into
what are commonly referred to as virtual UPSs.
• Virtual servers are created as virtual disk images that contain
binary file copies of hard disk content.
Hardware Based Virtualization

Introduction: 1-16
Operating System Based Virtualization

Introduction: 1-17
Virtualization Technology – Key Points
• Server virtualization is the process of abstracting IT hardware into
virtual servers using virtualization software.

• Virtualization provides hardware independence, server


consolidation, and resource replication, and further supports
resource pooling and elastic scalability.

• Virtual servers are realized through either operating system-based


or hardware-based virtualization.

• Multitenant Technology
Multitenant Technology
• With multitenant technology, tenants can individually customize
features of the application, such as:
User Interface – Tenants can define a specialized “look and feel” for their
application interface.
Business Process – Tenants can customize the rules, logic, and workflows of
the business processes that are implemented in the application.
Data Model – Tenants can extend the data schema of the application to
include, exclude, or rename fields in the application data structures.
Access Control – Tenants can independently control the access rights for
users and group
Characteristics of Multitenant Applications
Usage Isolation:
• The usage behavior of one tenant does not affect the application
availability and performance of other tenants.

Data Security:
• Tenants cannot access data that belongs to other tenants.

Recovery:
• Backup and restore procedures are separately executed for the data
of each tenant.
Characteristics of Multitenant Applications (Cont.)
Application Upgrades:
• Tenants are not negatively affected by the synchronous upgrading
of shared software artifacts.

Scalability:
• The application can scale to accommodate increases in usage by
existing tenants and/or increases in the number of tenants.

Metered Usage:
• Tenants are charged only for the application processing and
features that are actually consumed.
