Objectives

Define Cloud Storage and Cloud Computing

Recall the history and development of cloud

storage/computing

Distinguish the basic operations and processes

of cloud storage/computing
Objectives
Practice cloud mapping
Identify the advantages and disadvantages
of cloud storage/computing
Definition of Terms
Virtual – not physically existing as such but
made by software to appear to do so.
Mapping - be associated or linked to
something.
 “The Cloud”
The term cloud is used as a
metaphor for the Internet,
based on the cloud drawing
used in the past to represent
the telephone network,
 “The Cloud”
and later to depict
the Internet in computer
network diagrams as an
abstraction of the underlying
infrastructure it represents.
 “The Cloud” in Cloud
Storage/Computing
The “Cloud” is a catchall phrase used to
describe a wide range of virtual solutions
and services for individuals and
businesses alike.
 CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing is the storing of data
and applications on remote servers,
accessing them via the internet rather
than saving or installing them on your
personal or office computer.
 CLOUD COMPUTING
In simple words, it is any situation in
which computing [processing] is done in
a remote location (out in the clouds),
rather than on your desktop or portable
device.
 CLOUD STORAGE
Cloud storage is defined as "the storage
of data online in the cloud," wherein a
company's data is stored in and
accessible from multiple distributed and
connected resources that comprise a
cloud.

 History and Development of
Cloud Storage/Computing
1960 1969 1999
John McCarthy J.C.R. Licklider Salesforce.com,

"computation "intergalactic concept of
may someday be computer
network“ --- delivering

 History and Development of
Cloud Storage/Computing
2002 2006 2009

Amazon Web Amazon launched Web 2.0 includes

Services, which its Elastic social networking
provided a suite Compute cloud sites,
blogs,wikis,flokso
of cloud-based (EC2)
nomies,video
services sharing sites, web
including storage, applications,
computation. mashups etc.
Basic Operations and Processes
of
Cloud Storage/Computing
How to Create an Account
Using Microsoft One Drive
 Apple iCloud Google Drive

Examples of Cloud Storage

Dropbox
Amazon Cloud Microsoft
Drive OneDrive
Apple iCloud
Gives 5GB of free storage (if you want more, you
have to pay for it yearly)

Allows you to sync all your idevices to iCloud

Anything you have stored in the iCloud can be

accessed from any idevice

For example, a document typed on an iPad and saved to

the iCloud can be accessed from an iPhone.
Dropbox
Gives you 2GB of free storage
Allows you to get more free space by completing
certain tasks
Available in the App Store and Android Market
For example, a file uploaded to Dropbox from a
MacBook can be accessed from a Samsung
phone.
Google Drive
Gives you 15GB of free storage
Requires a G-mail account to be accessed
Individuals can buy more storage for themselves
(Google Apps for Business Administrators can buy
storage licenses)
Allows you to type documents, make
spreadsheets/presentations, etc., and then save
them to your drive.
Amazon Cloud Drive
Gives you 5GB of free storage (additional
storage is available for $10 a year)

Available for download on Kindle Fire(HD)

A Save to CloudDrive app is available in the App

Store for $1.99 and an Amazon Cloud Pictures is
in the Android Market for free.
Microsoft OneDrive
Gives you 5GB of free storage (additional
storage can be bought)

Requires a Windows Live account to be

accessed

Can be saved to a Windows computer as a

mapped drive.
Which One Should I Pick?
The cloud provider you pick should fulfill all your
needs as the consumer

If you need a lot of space, choose a provider that

allows you to get the space you need

If you don’t need a lot of space, choose a

provider that you can use for storing files that
don’t take up a lot of space.
Cloud Mapping
 Cloud Mapping
• It is linking or associating the stored data in
storage to another in the cloud.

Advantages and Disadvantages
of
Cloud Storage/Computing
 Advantages of
Cloud Storage/Computing
• Flexibility: There is a high rate of flexibility.

• Low Cost: Companies can save big by employing cloud

computing as it eliminates cost for hardware and
software.

• Speed & Scales :Traditional methods to buy and

configure hardware and software are time consuming.

• Easier Management of Data and Information: Since all

data are located on a centralized location, data are
more organized making it easy to manage.

• Device Diversity : We can access our applications and

data anywhere in the world, on any system.
 Advantages of
Cloud Storage/Computing
• Increased Storage Capacity: Increased Storage
Capacity is another benefit of the cloud computing, as
it can store more data as compared to a personal
computer.

• Easy to Learn and Understand: Since people are quite

used to cloud applications like GMail, Google Docs, so
anything related to the same is most likely to be
understood by the users.

• Automatic Updating: It saves companies time and

effort to update multiples server.

• Customize Setting: Cloud computing also allows you

to customize your business applications.
 Disadvantages of
Cloud Storage/Computing
• Dependency: One major disadvantages of cloud
computing is user’s dependency on the provider.

• Risk: Cloud computing services means taking services

from remote servers.

• Requires a Constant internet connection: The most

obvious disadvantage is that Cloud computing
completely relies on network connections.

• Security: Security and privacy are the biggest concerns

about cloud computing.

• Migration Issue: Migration problem is also a big

concern about cloud computing.
