Cloud data center Requirements
• Key component of cloud computing is virtualization
• Virtualization provides customized environment to different users
• Three distinct characteristics of cloud services (which differentiates it
from traditional computing)
• It is sold on demand
• It is elastic
• Services is fully managed by the provider
• The important cloud elements are
• Clients (mobile, thin or thick)
• Data centre (collection of ervers, IT, non IT requirements)
• Distributed Servers geographically distributed)
• storage
• A data center (server farm) –
• principal components of cloud data centre (CDC)
• Application: it is a computer program. It uses a DBMS to store , retrieve data
• DBMS: it gives a systematic way to store and retrieve data in tables
• Compute: it is a physical computing machine which controls applications,
DBMS, and OS
• Storage : a tool to save data constantly. Storage requirement depends upon
total data to be saved and the time period for which the data is to be stored.
• Network: it is a connecting path which allows communication among
compute systems and customers and among storage and compute systems
Application
• Interface between host and user, or among multiple hosts.
• Business applications have three layered design
• application user interface- Front end layer
• Application itself – middle layer
• Database- back end layer
• Data saved on server
• Server replies to requests from user
• Application transmits the requests to OS to carryout read write operations in the
storage media
• R/W functions allow communication between front end and back end layer

Database management system
• A DBMS saves data in tables in an organized method
• DBMS handles requests from application program, for data
• It arranges incoming data in a customized way
• Examples: SQL server, ORACLE, MySQL
Compute
• Plain laptops
• Processor
storage
• Tools used for storage of data
• It can be magnetic, optical,or solid medium
RAID
• RAID is the means of saving same data in different sites
Network
• Protocol used for communication-
• TCP/IP (for WAN , MAN)
• Ethernet (LAN)
• Every system has a NIC (Network interface card ) and MAC address
• Routers and switches for interconnection
• Compute storage communication is made possible through
• Host bus adaptor (HBA)
• Converged bus adaptor (CAN)
