Cloud Computing Overview

Cloud computing is a general term used to describe network-based computing that takes place over the Internet. It involves a collection of integrated hardware, software, and Internet infrastructure that provides computing services to clients. Key characteristics include services being remotely hosted, ubiquitously available from anywhere, and provided on a utility computing model where users pay for what they use. Cloud computing uses shared computing resources that are provisioned over the Internet and accessed on demand in a self-service manner with rapid elasticity and measured service.

CLOUD

COMPUTING
OVERVIEW
WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
 Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a
new class of network based computing that takes
place over the Internet,
 basically a step on from Utility Computing
 a collection/group of integrated and networked
hardware, software and Internet infrastructure
(called a platform).
 Using the Internet for communication and transport
provides hardware, software and networking
services to clients
 These platforms hide the complexity and details of
the underlying infrastructure from users and
applications by providing very simple graphical
interface or API (Applications Programming Interface).
WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
 In addition, the platform provides on demand
services, that are always on, anywhere,
anytime and any place.
 Pay for use and as needed, elastic
 scale up and down in capacity and functionalities
 The hardware and software services are
available to
 generalpublic enterprises, corporations and
businesses markets
CLOUD SUMMARY
 Cloud computing is an umbrella term used to
refer to Internet based development and
services

 A number of characteristics define cloud data,


applications services and infrastructure:
 Remotely hosted: Services or data are hosted on
remote infrastructure.
 Ubiquitous: Services or data are available from
anywhere.
 Commodified: The result is a utility computing model
similar to traditional utilities, like electricity &
telephone - you pay for what you would want!
