Cloud Computing: Technology & Business Essentials

Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services over the internet. It has evolved from technologies like clustering, virtualization, utility computing and grid computing. Key characteristics include elasticity, self-service provisioning, APIs and pay-per-use billing. There are public, private and hybrid cloud models. Cloud computing delivers advantages like lower costs, faster innovation and scalability. However, it also faces challenges around reliability, security and loss of control over data. Regulation is needed to address issues like data ownership across borders.

Cloud computing

CLOUD Set of hardware, networks, storage, services, and interfaces that combine to deliver aspects of computing as a service

Characteristics Characteristics -Elasticity and the ability to scale up and down -Self-service provisioning and automatic deprovisioning -Application programming interfaces (APIs) -Billing and metering of service usage in a pay-as-you-go model

The end user who doesnt have to know anything about the underlying technology Types of clouds: -Public clouds -Private clouds -Hybrid clouds

Business Impact
According to a recent survey
most of the servers use just 10-30% of their available computing power desktop computers have an average capacity utilization of less than 5%

Gartner Research indicates that about two-thirds of the average corporate IT staffing budget goes towards routine support and maintenance activities
IT Efficiency

Cloud Computing
Business Agility

Key Advantages
Dramatically lowers the cost of entry for smaller players, promotes innovation Provides an almost immediate access to hardware resources, leading to a faster time to market Makes it easier for enterprises to scale their services as per the client demand Makes possible new classes of applications and delivers services that were not possible before

Cloud Computing Industry SWOT Analysis


Strengths

Weaknesses

> Obviates the need for underutilized servers in anticipation of peak demand
> Allow an organization to control when, where, and how employees have access to the computer systems Oppurtunities > Potential to help developing countries reap the benefits of information technology > Leverage Green credentials > Mashup Applications

> Reliance on Internet connectivity > Loss of physical control of the data that is put on the cloud

> Not 100% Uptime >> insufficient for mission-critical applications Threats
> Concern of Security > Reluctance of large corporates to outsource operations

The Role of Regulation


Distributed nature of cloud computing alters many notions about residency and ownership of data and information If some private data is stored in a country other than its owner, which countrys privacy laws would be followed by the clouds parent organization? Rights and obligations related to notifications of breaches in security, data transfers, creation of derivative works, change of control, and access to data by law enforcement entities
