Cloud Computing

These days Cloud Computing is the Buzz Word and it is being used to run various types of business applications. In very simple terms Cloud Computing is delivery of pooled network resources such as CPU, RAM, Storage, Software over the web. These services can be rapidly provided and released on demand.

In Simple words “Providing Hosted Services Over The Internet”.

An Introduction of Cloud Computing:

A working definition of cloud computing could be delivering hosted services over the Internet. As most of these services are based on cloud computing, there is little use of a number of software and free spaces space in the computer.                                                                                    It is not alien to common man, as we are already using Cloud-Computing while using Internet. This much talked about services is already part of Gmail, YahooMail, Hotmail, MSN and other email services.

What is Cloud Computing?

The Cloud Computing is another revolution in Internet technology. In case of Cloud computing, network resources such as CPU's, RAM, Storage space, Servers, Services etc.. are available in a resource pool. These all services can be accessed on demand. So, for example if your application needs the more processing power then it can request for more CPU's from the resource pool. Once your processing is done it can be released back to the resource pool.

                      These days hosting companies are providing cloud servers, cloud storage, software hosted on the cloud environment. Cloud computing helps the business to get the required computing resources at very minimal cost. Once the work is done you can release the Cloud resources. You will be charged only for your usage. This ways business can save lot of money. You can use Cloud computing environment and pay on the basis of resource usage. The Cloud computing companies are also providing cloud resources and charging Fixed monthly costs.

The Cloud Competing is mostly used to provide the virtual servers to the client. The Cloud hosting services is good for small as well as big businesses. As most of these services are based on cloud computing, there is little use of a number of software and free spaces space in the computer. For instance, if you are using email service provider like gmail or yahoo you have all the data stored on the server of the company providing these services. The hard disk of your computer doesn't store even a fractional amount of this data. Only thing our computers do is showing the data.

The name cloud computing is given as this service is analogous to the cloud in the sky. As the cloud has potential for rain but it doesn't brings rain everywhere, likewise the cloud computing servers has all the information but it delivers only requested information.

Here are a few types of public cloud computing:

•        Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

•        Platform as a service (PaaS)

•        Software as a service (SaaS)

•        Storage as a service (STaaS)

•        Security as a service (SECaaS)

•        Data as a service (DaaS)

Components of Cloud Commuting environment:

Server Hardware

Most companies are using high end servers to make Cloud computing environment.

Cloud OS

The Cloud OS is installed on the hardware. Cloud OS allows the companies to distribute and manage the resources of the Cloud system. It also provides the control panel to see the status of the over all system.

Some of the Cloud OS are eyeOS, VMware Cloud Operating System, icloud, Cloudo, Cornelios etc...

 

  

 With the help of utilities provided by Cloud OS you can create virtual server for your clients. Your client can login and use the allocated virtual server/resources. You can increase and decrease the resource usage by client.

 

Parts:

Cloud computing services comprise of two parts named Front end and Back end. Both these parts are connected through an effective medium called Internet. In terms of the cloud Computing, the computers used by common man are considered front-end part. One has to install some programs on their computers so that they can access the services from the cloud. Server computers and Data Storage systems are considered Back end part of cloud computing system.

Cloud Computing is growing fast and companies are taking full advantage of the services provided by Cloud computing.The cloud computing services have various advantages for businesses and individuals.
