CLOUD COMPUTING
ABSTRACT
Cloud computing is a way of computing, where most of our data is
stored in thecloud, i.e, the Internet.
A computing capability that provides an abstraction between the
computing resourceand its underlying technical architecture (e.g.,
servers, storage, networks), enablingconvenient, on-demand network
access to a shared pool of configurable computingresources that can
be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal
managementeffort.
The goal of cloud computing is to apply traditional
supercomputing , or high- performance computing power, normally
used by military and research facilities, to perform tens of
trillions of computations per second, in
consumer-orientedapplications such as financial portfolios, to
deliver personalized information, to
provide data storage or to power large, immersive computer
games. To do this, cloudcomputing uses networks of large groups of
servers typically running low-costconsumer PC technology with
specialized connections to spread data-processingchores across
them.
Why we choose cloud computing is that, Clients would be able to
access their
applications and data from anywhere at any time. They could
access the cloudcomputing system using any computer linked to the
Internet . It could bring hardwarecosts down. Cloud computing
systems would reduce the need for advanced hardwareon the client
side. You wouldn't need to buy the fastest computer with themost
memory , because the cloud system would take care of those needs
for you.Instead, you could buy an inexpensive computer terminal.
The terminal could includea monitor , input devices like a keyboard
and mouse and just enough processing power to run the middleware
necessary to connect to the cloud system. You wouldn't need alarge
hard drive because you'd store all your information on a remote
computer.
Cloud computing systems give these organizations company-wide
access to computer applications. The companies don't have to buy a
set of software or software licensesfor every employee. Instead,
the company could pay a fee to a cloud computingcompany. Servers
and digital storage devices take up space. Some companies rent
physical space to store servers and databases because they don't
have it available onsite. Cloud computing gives these companies the
option of storing data on someoneelse's hardware, removing the need
for physical space on the front end. Streamlinedhardware would, in
theory, have fewer problems than a network of heterogeneous
machines and operating systems . Perhaps the biggest concerns
about cloud computing are security and privacy .
