Cloud Computing

[Name of the Institute]

Abstract

The current study discusses cloud computing and the significance of the technology with respect to its application and use on the Internet. The research also highlights the advent of the technology and highlights the advantages to the organizations. Furthermore, the study also focuses on the technological aspects and requirements, in order to develop and implement the system.

Cloud Computing

Introduction

Amazon Web Services is the barometer for all providers of cloud services. This platform, which rents servers to host web sites, you may end up lowering their prices. GPU Cluster for example, lets you perform complex tasks, showing graphics with high speeds. Many customers store large files on Amazon S3, such as scientific or medical content, high-resolution video or backup files. This service platform for Microsoft is one of its major investments in cloud and perhaps the most massive cloud computing initiatives. The multinational is making strides to transition from software services.

Discussion

Cloud computing is utility computing or grid computing, or software-as-service or managed service. But the opposite is not true. Of all these concepts, more familiar to the user takes one or several principles, but with their own dynamics there is to know understanding. In addition to being influenced by these technologies, as well as trends toward virtualization, automation, massively parallel processing and service orientation, cloud computing is emerging as a result of expectations created by Web 2.0 among users. Recently, Steve Mills, senior vice president and chief executive of the software unit of IBM, Network World noted the role of the new model for the excitement with which people are receiving capabilities and Web 2.0 mashup. The idea that an application does not exist in a particular place, but can be composed of multiple pieces from multiple sites is owed to the Web 2.0.

The vision of online access to its computer applications being substituted for the local access is now becoming a reality for all categories of users. In recent years, there has been a gradual shift towards the use of Rich Internet Application (RIA) at the expense of traditional applications to install on their PC. This technological evolution, called Software as a Service (SaaS) is only one facet of a much larger reality, the Cloud computing. Cloud computing is one of the major developments of ICT. The principle is simple: move the computer processing power and data from the workstation (fixed/mobile) to large data centers. Among the main drivers of this transformation include the ubiquity of broadband access, the falling price of storage, or Moore's Law in terms of computing power. The rise of Web 2.0, usability and ergonomics of its online applications, is one of the most striking expressions of this development. Attractive to both users and developers, cloud computing relies on the economic model of pay-as-you-go, that is to say pay according to its growth and its individual needs. This model is also the norm in most sectors of the economy.
