Governments and private sector organizations are trying to streamline operations as they expand their footprints. The new technologies are already cost efficiencies in infrastructure facilities like never before. Equally important, a number of new technological innovations now help us to re-imagine the efficiency and optimization of infrastructure and services in general. The biggest impact of
Information Technology (IT) industry has always been structured in a manner that enhances improvement on its services and computing powers with minimal infrastructural acquisition, personnel training, or licensing new software (Knorr and Gruman, 2011). One technology that has been employed in the achievement of this endeavor is the use and creation of cloud computing. Cloud computing is a term that was coined as a metaphor representing the infrastructural network being used by myriads of computers and
1. Cloud Computing Cloud computing is becoming one of the key words of the IT industry. The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet or infrastructure of communication between the architectural components, based on an abstraction that hides the complexity of infrastructure. Each part of this infrastructure is provided as a service and they are normally allocated in data centres, using hardware shared computing and storage (Buyya et al. 2009b). To use the service, users need only take their machines
Cloud computing services provide a multitude of benefits for businesses of every size. Cloud computing services offer “flexible computing power and data storage, as well as data management, messaging, payment and other services that can be used together or individually (Laudon 2014). The list of benefits is long and varied. Cloud computing services are universal. Anyone and everyone can use the system. Cloud computing is cost effective. There is no maintenance fee, but rather a business pays
Cloud computing can be defined as: “a variety of computing concepts that involve a large number of computers connected through a real-time communication network such as the Internet.” Our understanding of cloud computing is distributed computing over a network with the ability to run a program or application on many connected computers at the same time. From our research we can describe Cloud computing as both a platform and a type of application. The Cloud computing platform offers, configures,
Introduction Over the past several years the term cloud computing has become common in homes and organizations alike. Cloud computing can be defined as a pooled set of computing resources that are furnished via the internet. There are three types of cloud services typically available, these services are Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Organizations can benefit greatly from cloud services because they eliminate the need to buy and
infrastructure: There is significant development in IT infrastructure over these 50 years in regards to the computing. There are 5 eras of evolution and each has their unique configuration of computing power and infrastructure elements The five eras are: 1. Mainframe and mini-computer computing 2. Personal computers 3. Client/Server networks 4. Enterprise computing 5. Cloud and mobile computing. Even though there is significant evolution in IT infrastructure, the technologies that are significant
Cloud Computing 1. Cloud Computing Defined Cloud computing is defined to be the use of computer programs and applications, to access information, storage, that is not stored locally on a computer’s hard drive, but rather over the Internet. There are five defining characteristics to cloud computing. Cloud computing allows users to have almost no interaction with the service provider. For example, when we use Google Drive, a web application similar to Microsoft Office, we can do so without ever
Cloud computing technology is a very known and popular paradigm in the field of Information technology. It is an incipient computing model which emanates from grid computing which is resulting into an emerging paramount concept in Information Technology. Vast number of operating systems and virtual servers are mutually dependent through the internet and allow sharable resources with each other. This generates expeditious and efficient computing speed. The concept of cloud computing is predicated
DEFINITION OF CLOUD COMPUTING This essay is primarily about cloud computing, including its definition, types, history, risks, disadvantages, advantages, and future impacts. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of hosted services over the internet. There are three categories of these services: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Cloud service differs from traditional hosting in three ways: it is sold based on the customer's needs,
Cloud Computing Cloud computing is a type of computing that depends on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal device to handle applications. In cloud computing, the word cloud is used as a metaphor for “the internet”. So the cloud computing means “a type of internet-based computing”, where different services such as servers, storage and applications are delivered to an organization’s computers and devices through the internet. It allows consumers and businesses to
technologically advanced. Internet use is becoming a more integral part of businesses today. A new way that businesses have started to utilize the internet as a business tool is through cloud computing. “Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction” (NIST, 2011). This network provides a business with the ability
Cloud computing facilitates sharing of computing and storage resources with the aim of reducing computing expenses in organizations. Moreover, cloud computing facilitates information sharing among individuals within a cloud. Despite being advantageous, data stored in a cloud is usually prone to hacking and other security issues. This paper addresses the various mitigation measures that organizations are using to ensure that data stored in the cloud is secure. Despite the numerous
Cloud computing is a relatively new technology that allows data to be stored, distributed and manipulated with greater ease than ever. As described by Gurjar and Rathore (2013), the “Cloud is a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources. These resources can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust to a variable load, allowing also for an optimum resource utilization” (p. 1). By moving data, documents and media to the Cloud, the potential for business efficiency and productivity
Cloud Computing “Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local services or personal devices to handle applications. The cloud, is used as a metaphor for ‘the internet,’ so the phrase cloud computing means ‘a type of Internet-based computing,’ where different services-such as servers, storage and applications- are delivered to an organization’s computers and device through the Internet. Cloud computing is comparable to grid computing, a
Introduction Cloud Computing is an up and coming strategy that could create millions of jobs while allowing companies to become more profitable. How does Cloud Computing work? The basis of Cloud Computing is having data, software, platforms or networks stored and executed by an outside source and then streaming the output to your electronic device.(McKendrick, J. 2012 march 3) In this paper I will address the following three topics: the history and basis of Cloud Computing, the three main features
Cloud computing is here and basically every business, corporation, or organization is using it in some form. Learning and understanding the opportunities and risks that is interlinked with this technology can be very important. Cloud computing is a model for allowing convenient, on-demand network access to a shared collection of configurable computing resources. These resources included networks, storage, applications, servers, and services. It can be quickly provisioned and distributed with insignificant
