CLOUD COMPUTING
Dr. Kamal Gulati

“Cloud computing is an
emerging computing
technology that uses the
internet and central remote
servers to maintain data and
applications”.

INTRODUCTION
 The underlying concept of cloud computing dates back to 1960, when
John McCarthy opined that "computation may someday be organized
as a public utility"; indeed it shares characteristics with service bureaus
that date back to the 1960s.
 The actual term "cloud" borrows from telephony in that
telecommunications companies, who until the 1990s primarily offered
dedicated point-to-point data circuits, began offering “VIRTUAL
PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)” services with comparable quality of
service but at a much lower cost.
 The cloud symbol was used to denote the demarcation point between
that which was the responsibility of the provider from that of the user.
Cloud computing extends this boundary to cover servers as well as the
network infrastructure.
 Cost is claimed to be greatly reduced and capital expenditure is
converted to operational expenditure. Device and location
independence enable users to access systems using a web browser
regardless of their location or what device they are using.

4
USES
 Helps to use applications without installations.
 Access the personal files at any computer with
internet access.
 This technology allows much more efficient
computation by centralizing storage, memory,
processing and band width.

5
SURVEY
 Based on a study conducted in June 2009 by version one,
41% of IT senior professionals doesn’t have sound
knowledge on cloud computing.
 In September 2009, Aberdeen Group found that 18%
reduction in there IT budget and a 16% reduction in data
center power costs.

LAYERS

A cloud client consists of
computer hardware and/or
computer software that relies on
cloud computing for application
delivery.

APPLICATIONS
 Cloud application services or "Software as a Service
(SaaS)" deliver ‘software’ as a service over the Internet,
eliminating the need to install and run the application on
the customer's own computers and simplifying
maintenance and support.

8
PLATFORM
 Cloud platform services or "Platform as a Service
(PaaS)" deliver a computing platform and/or
solution stack as a service, often consuming cloud
infrastructure and sustaining cloud applications. It
facilitates deployment of applications without the
cost and complexity of buying and managing the
underlying hardware and software layers.

9
INFRASTRUCTURE
Cloud infrastructure services or "Infrastructure as a
Service (IaaS)" delivers computer infrastructure,
typically a platform virtualization environment,
as a service. Rather than purchasing servers,
software, data center space or network equipment,
clients instead buy those resources as a fully
outsourced service. The service is typically billed
on a utility computing basis and amount of
resources consumed (and therefore the cost) will
typically reflect the level of activity. It is an
evolution of virtual private server offerings.

10
SERVER
 The servers layer consists of computer hardware
and/or computer software products that are
specifically designed for the delivery of cloud
services, including multi-core processors, cloud-
specific operating systems and combined offerings

11
DEPLOYMENT MODELS
COMMUNITY CLOUD:
A community cloud may be established where
several organizations have similar requirements and seek to
share infrastructure so as to realize some of the benefits of
cloud computing. With the costs spread over fewer users
than a public cloud, this option is more expensive but may
offer a higher level of privacy, security and/or policy
compliance.
Examples of community cloud include Google's "Gov
Cloud".

12
HYBRID CLOUD & PRIVATE CLOUD
HYBRID CLOUD:
A hybrid cloud environment consists of multiple internal
and/or external providers "will be typical for most enterprises". By
integrating multiple cloud services, users may be able to ease the
transition to public cloud services.
PRIVATE CLOUD:
Private cloud and Internal cloud are expressions that
some vendors have recently used to describe offerings that emulate cloud
computing on private networks. These products claim to "deliver some
benefits of cloud computing without the pitfalls", capitalizing on data
security, corporate governance, and reliability concerns. They have been
criticized on the basis that users "still have to buy, build, and manage
them" and as such do not benefit from lower up-front capital costs and
less hands-on management

CRITICISM
 Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation and
creator of the computer operating system GNU, said that cloud
computing was simply a trap aimed at forcing more people to buy
into locked, proprietary systems that would cost them more and
more over time. "It's stupidity. It's worse than stupidity: it's a
marketing hype campaign," he told The Guardian.
"Somebody is saying this is inevitable – and whenever you
hear somebody saying that, it's very likely to be a set of
businesses campaigning to make it true." "The interesting
thing about cloud computing is that we've redefined cloud
computing to include everything that we already do," he
said.
 The main drawback behind the concept of Cloud Computing is
we can’t completely rely on third party when we are transmitting
sensitive data.
13

ISSUES
PRIVACY:
The Cloud model has been criticized by privacy advocates for the
greater ease in which the companies hosting the Cloud services
control, and thus, can monitor at will, lawfully or unlawfully, the
communication and data stored between the user and the host
company.
Instances such as the secret NSA program, working with AT&T, and
Verizon, which recorded over 10 million phone calls between
American citizens, causes uncertainty among privacy advocates,
and the greater powers it gives to telecommunication companies to
monitor user activity.

LEGAL
 In March 2007, Dell applied to trademark the term "cloud computing" (
U.S. Trademark 77,139,082) in the United States. The "Notice of
Allowance" the company received in July 2008 was cancelled in
August, resulting in a formal rejection of the trademark application less
than a week later.
 Since 2007, the number of trademark filings covering cloud computing
brands, goods and services has increased at an almost exponential rate.
As companies sought to better position themselves for cloud computing
branding and marketing efforts, “cloud computing trademark
filings increased by 483% between 2008 and 2009.” In
2009, 116 cloud computing trademarks were filed, and trademark
analysts predict that over “500 such marks could be filed during
2010.”

SECURITY
 The relative security of cloud computing services is a
contentious issue which may be delaying its adoption. Some
argue that customer data is more secure when managed
internally, while others argue that cloud providers have a
strong incentive to maintain trust and as such employ a
higher level of security.

CONCLUSION
 Cloud computing is a better way to run your
business. Instead of running your apps yourself,
they run on a shared data center. When you use any
app that runs in the cloud, you just log in, customize
it, and start using it. That’s the power of cloud
computing.
 Finally, cloud apps don’t eat up your valuable IT
resources, so your CFO will love it. This lets you
focus on deploying more apps, new projects, and
innovation

THE BOTTOM LINE
Cloud computing is a simple idea, but it can have a
huge impact on your business.
