Computing?
3.2 • Cloud Computing Characteristics
Cloud Computing
Characteristics
– Cloud Computing Provides On-Demand SelfService
– Cloud Computing Encompasses the
Characteristics of Grid Computing
• Grid Computing enables organizations to utilize
resources more efficiently
• Grid Computing provides fault tolerance and
redundancy
• Grid Computing makes it easy to scale up
• Grad Computing makes it easy to scale down
Cloud Computing
Characteristics (Continued)
– Cloud Computing Encompasses the
Characteristics of Utility Computing
– Cloud Computing Utilizes Broad Network Access
– Cloud Computing Pools Computing Resources
– Cloud Computing Often Occurs on Virtualized
Servers
• Server Farms
• Server Virtualization
TG Different Types of Clouds
3.3 • Public Cloud
• Private Cloud (or Corporate
Cloud)
• Hybrid Cloud
• Vertical Clouds
TG Cloud Computing Services
3.4 • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
• Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
• Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
• PaaS offers several advantages to
customers:
– Application developers can develop and run their
software solutions on a cloud platform without the
cost of buying and managing the underlying hardware
and software layers
– Underlying computing and storage resources
automatically scale to match application demand
– Operating system features can be upgraded frequently
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
(Con’t)
• PaaS offers several advantages to
customers (Con’t):
– Geographically distributed development teams can
work together on software development projects
– PaaS services can be provided by diverse sources
located throughout the world
– Initial and ongoing costs can be reduced by the
use of infrastructure services from a single vendor

Seven Major Benefits of Cloud
Computing to Individuals &
Organizations
• Benefit 1: Making Individuals More
Productive
• Benefit 2: Facilitating Collaboration
• Benefit 3: Mining Insights from Data
• Benefit 4: Reduce Costs
Seven Major Benefits of Cloud
Computing to Individuals &
Organizations (Con’t)
• Benefit 5: Expand the Scope of Business
Operations
• Benefit 6: Respond Quickly to Market
Changes
• Benefit 7: Customize Products and
Services
TG Concerns and Risks with
Cloud Computing
3.6 • Five Categories of Concerns
Five Categories of Cloud
Computing Concerns
• Concern 1: Legacy IT Systems
• Concern 2: Reliability
– Example: Amazon Web Services
• Concern 3: Privacy
• Concern 4: Security
• Concern 5: The Regulatory and Legal
Environment
TG Web Services and ServiceOriented Architecture
3.7 • Benefits Provided to
Organizations by Web Services
• Service-Oriented Architecture
• Web Services are based on Four
Key Protocols
Benefits Provided to
Organizations by Web Services
• The organization can utilize the existing
Internet infrastructure without having to
implement any new technologies
• Organizational personnel can access
remote or local data without having to
understand the complexities of the process
• The organization can create new
applications quickly and easily
Web Services are based on
four key protocols:
• Extensible Markup Language (XML)
• Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
• Web Services Description Language
(WSDL)
• Universal Description, Discovery, and
Integration (UDDI)
