The next big thing since Web!

IDC predicts, Worldwide revenue from IT cloud services, which exceeded $16 billion in 2009, will grow to nearly $56 billion in 2014

Cloud is designed to be everywhere all the time. Through redundancy and georeplication cloud is so designed that services be available during hardware failures including full data centre failures.
-Eric Schidmt CEO, Google

the idea of relying on Web-based application and storing data in the CLOUD of the internet. -MIT Technology Review
A technology that uses the internet and central remote network of servers to maintain data and applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation on PC and yet access their personal files

Traditional infrastructure provisioning model

Traditional infrastructure provisioning model is inefficient Need for large capex Poor utilization of resources Slow time to market

1. On the basis of location -public cloud -private cloud -hybrid cloud -community cloud

 Computing

infrastructure is hosted at the vendors premises The computing infrastructure is shared between organizations. Accessible over the public Internet via Internet standards Acquired by subscription Risk and liability are based on an SLA which delineates the roles and responsibilities of the various parties

 Computing

architecture is dedicated to the customer and is not shared Accessible over the enterprise intranet and/or over secured Internet Hosted locally within a company's data center or within a third-party datacenter Consumed by people within an enterprise's own ecosystem of end-users, suppliers and customers Acquired by subscription, which may be for a cost or free of charge

 Some

critical, secure applications in private clouds. Not so critical applications are hosted in the public cloud Cloud bursting

 Cloud

infrastructure is shared between the organizations of the same community. Example: All the government agencies in a city can share the same cloud but not the non government agencies.

 Infrastructure

as a Service(Iaas) - Hardware related services are provided : disk space and virtual servers. - Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Platform as a Service(PaaS) - facilities to support the complete life cycle of building and delivering web applications and services - Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure and Saleforces force.com

 Software

as a Service(SaaS) - complete software offering on the cloud - Chrome OS

 Need

for interoperability Interoperability approaches 1. Unified cloud interface/ cloud broker 2. Enterprise cloud orchestration

 Elasticity-the

ability to add capacity or applications almost at a moments notice Reduced resources Metered cost, pay-as-you-go approachappeals to small & medium sized enterprises SaaS deployments take less time than in-house ones Fewer bugs- only one version of the software reduces complexity

Security:data is still vulnerable to hacking and other intrusive attacks Internet resilience and bandwidth:The cloud is delivered via the Internets network and therefore is vulnerable should this become unavailable Compliance: countries data protection laws restrict the way in which data can be stored and mandate the way in which it must be protected. Vendor lock-in: All IaaS and SaaS providers use different technologies and different standards

 Large

Vendors Entering Cloud Computing Will Accelerate Major IDEs Will Offer Cloud Deployment Options Next-Generation of Middleware for the Cloud Will Rise in Dominance Over Traditional J2EE Application Servers Leverage OS on the cloud Will lead to a 38 percent cutback in worldwide data center energy expenditures by 2020

Cloud computing announcements in India by NIIT, Hitachi, CSC, HP, VmWare, Cisco, Symantec Software-as-a-Service has witnessed the most rapid uptake until now Dominated by Collaborative Applications, CRM, ERP & Email workloads Ideal for Indian SMBs With development in network infrastructure Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and Infrastructureas-a-service (IaaS) markets cumulatively would touch 434 million by 2015.
