Project Background Cloud computing have revolutionized life as we know it; it allows people to store, manage, and access their data by using a network of remote servers which are hosted on the internet rather than using a local server or own hardware. A recent study conducted by KPMG found that 81% of businesses were either evaluating cloud services, planned a cloud implementation or had already implemented a cloud strategy [1]. Organizations tend to use the cloud to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Cloud is not a commodity, some people think that it comes out of the sky, while in fact it comes from physical hardware inside brick and mortar facilities which are connected to hundreds of miles by networking cables. We can conclude from cloud computing that it is a significant technology which can be utilized nowadays and in the coming future to make everything easy. The project is to provide a web service using cloud computing, there are many web services, but all the web services need a platform to run on it which in this case is the virtual machine on cloud server. This will help users to access their data from any device or machine instead of using hard drives. My target in this project is to prove that cloud can be used for different kind of applications and purposes. An example of cloud web services is enabling the user to create a virtual machine on the cloud server of the web service provider. A virtual machine can be created and customized by the web service user
The focus of cloud computing is providing with scalable and a cheap on-demand computing infrastructure with a good quality of service levels. The process of the cloud computing involves a set of network enabled services that can be accessed in a simple and general way. Cloud computing provides with a unique value proposition for any organization to outsource their information and communication technology infrastructure. Moreover, the concept itself provides with a value proposition for an organization as using the cloud saves on cost, resources, and staff, and business opportunities for the organization (Katzan). An extensive connectivity of
Cloud computing is innovative which uses well advanced computational power resource and gigantic improvement in storage capabilities, Cloud is the long dreamed vision of computing utilities, which helps in enable ling the sharing of
With the allure of pay as you go and instantly scalable resources, cloud computing companies such as Google Drive, and Microsoft Azure (Whaiduzzaman, et al., 4) offer more online services than ever before and that kind of demand drives the need for data security. The purpose of this paper is to look specifically at the innovative ways developers are trying to secure data in the cloud from unauthorized third party access. Security concerns are the highest ranking issue with any business customer (Aleem & Sprott, 16). I will explore the latest approaches being used in cloud computing beginning with Security as a Service (SecaaS) (Whaiduzzaman, et al., 4) and the real-time data encryption approach (Masood & Aslam,
Undeniably, the internet technology grows exponentially since its inception. Currently, a new "trend" is emerging in the world of IT (Information Technology and Communication), this is cloud computing. This technology, based on the WEB 2.0, provides opportunities for companies to reduce operating costs by their software applications online. Various vendors like Google, Amazon, and IBM offer a wide range of cloud computing services (Schroth, 2007). This technology has just hatched, it is at the beginning of its operations but already several major players mentioned above adopt their own pioneering strategies that determine the use of cloud computing companies wishing to invest.
What precisely is Cloud Computing? And why are so many organizations switching to this new phenomenon? Cloud computing is defined as “the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a network, typically the Internet” (Wikipedia). My goal in this paper is to discuss what exactly cloud computing is and how it is affecting how businesses work now. I will be discussing the top leading groups that have administered and executed “the cloud” in their daily routines for successful business. I also will be focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing and how it can be beneficial
Cloud Computing is considered the latest buzzword in computing today. It describes a form of computing wherein services are accessed through the Internet on an as needed or pay-per-use basis. Some aspect of cloud computing is in use on a regular basis. Understanding this technology, its benefits, and underlying security risks are important for people in most of today’s technical areas. Because Cloud computing is still considered to be in its infancy, an introduction to cloud computing, defining its major components, with a focus on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), is the foremost theme of this paper. There are three major elements of cloud computing - Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and
Cloud computing is a novel tool that provides an opportunity for large or small business owners based on an entirely new business model. The term cloud computing itself is a familiar term, however, the specific meaning can be difficult to define. This paper discusses several facets of cloud computing topics to include cloud benefits, characteristics, as well as service models.
Cloud computing is an emergent computing paradigm that has the potential to make ‘computing as a utility’ a reality in the near future (Buyya et al., 2009). These days many organizations have adopted cloud computing or in the process of
The information technology industry is growing at a rapid pace. Every business entity needs some form of IT support to ensure that business operations are continuously running. As an entity grows in size and revenue, the information system needed to support the entity needs to grow as well. Some businesses may not have enough resources to accommodate this expansion. Their building may be too small or they cannot afford to purchase the equipment. When this is the case, an organization will choose to migrate their network infrastructure to a cloud computing environment. Cloud computing allows for a company to implement a large scale network without having to incur expenses for modifying the building infrastructure. Cloud
Cloud computing has become a major topic of discussion and debate for any business or organization which relies on technology. Anyone connected to the Internet is probably using some type of cloud computing on a regular basis. Whether they are using Google’s Gmail, organizing photos on an Apple iPhone’s photo steam or searching the Web with Bing they are engaged in cloud computing. The interesting thing about cloud computing is it did not start as a technology for the business enterprise, but was driven by the public with services like Facebook. Over the last few years businesses have started to see the value of cloud computing causing it to become a major technology solution for businesses and organizations around the world.
The topic of cloud computing has received great research attention, due to the revolutionary power of the cloud. Researchers have extensively explores thee protocols and dynamics of the cloud, including the challenges that face it. At the same time, researchers have explored portability and interoperability as challenges that inhibit the use of the cloud, by restricting the users to a single service provider. On that note, the researchers have focused on the benefits that are to be expected in the event that the cloud becomes more portable and interoperable. However, little research literature exists in the scope of the benefits and demerits of portability and interoperability in the cloud. To this end, the current study exists to fill that gap. Nonetheless, the review of literature considers the existing literature that is relevant to the challenges facing cloud computing, as well as the solutions that existing in the scope of cloud portability and interoperability. The review of literature provides a background knowledge and review of the research topics, including what portability and interoperability are, as well as the associated challenges and benefits.
This project is going to discuss about the Cloud Computing and its application in business. To briefly describe what cloud
Over the past several years, cloud computing has been getting attention as a new computing model for providing flexible and on-demand infrastructures, platforms, and software as services. Cloud computing is a technology through exchange of information and software management. Cloud computing allows users to use computer technology without the installation in their computers. It allows users to access their files or data from any computer having an internet connection. Cloud computing provides more efficient computing by centralizing data storage, processing and bandwidth. This technology emphases on virtualization of the host server or the controlling computer. The server acts as a communication network through which information could be shared. The information can be stored, retrieved and shared as and when required through a widespread global platform.
Cloud computing programs, or the ideas of them, have been around since the 1960s, but it was not until the 1990s that the services were finally available due to advancements in technology. But to fully understand the importance of this innovation we must define what cloud computing is. Per the National Institute of Standards and Technology, an agency that creates standards and guidelines for providing information security for all agency operations and assets has defined cloud computing as a model that have easy access to a pool of shared network. Cloud computing programs must have the following five characteristics to be defined as such: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. Once the program satisfies these five elements in can meet one of three service models: Software as a Service, Platform as a service, and Infrastructure as a Service and one of four development models: private cloud, community cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud. For the sake of this paper we will focus on Software as a Service (Grance, 2011, 2-3).
This report revolves around the topic of Cloud computing, Cloud computing software to be exact. For the purpose of this report information was gathered from various sources including electronic data, books, online journals and the World Wide Web. The topic of cloud computing software consists of an introduction which gives a brief history about the cloud, as well as the definitions of some key terms responsible for the growth of cloud computing as we know it today. It then goes on to define and discuss the types of cloud deployment methods also known as the different ways of approaching the cloud. They are the public, community, private and hybrid cloud. The next section then again defines and discusses the three main cloud delivery models
