Cloud Based Services Introduction Cloud computing is an Internet-based type of computing through shared computer processing resources. Data is availed through the device on demand. In cloud computing provision of resources is achieved through an Internet connection. Resources shared include servers, storage, services and applications. History of Cloud Computing The term cloud computing was first coined in 1996. However, the idea of sharing computing resources was conceived in the early 1970’s. Cloud
“The Cloud” is a catchy phrase suggesting a convenient way to access files from anywhere. Unlike the puff balls floating overhead, the cloud is a physical infrastructure housed in massive warehouses all over the world. Air watch gives some names of developers who contributed to its creation. Well know names such as John McCarthy, J.C.R. Licklider, and Amazon (Mohamed, 2000). Cloud computing is ultimately transforming today’s computing landscape. Cloud has enabled enterprises to expand its infrastructure
Literature Cloud Computing Definition The topic of the cloud computing industry and security is broad with far reaching intricacies. Therefore, to narrow the subject, the definition of cloud computing as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (NIST Special Publication 800-145, 2011) will be used as the foundation for this study. The NIST adopted the (Mell & Grance, 2010) cloud computing definition in 2011. (Mell & Grance, (2010)) defined cloud computing as a model
Introduction Cloud computing is a topic of which much is assumed. The average person recognizes the term “cloud computing” as having to do with their storage from their iPad or iPhone on the online storage area which syncs their Apple devices to their computer. This common cloud is called the iCloud. That is where common knowledge ends about this topic. However, upon further exploration, a deeper understanding is gained with greater explanation, and it is realized that cloud computing is something
The Future is in the “Clouds” The world has recently adopted a new approach to computing – cloud computing. It is a particularly new model of computing, where databases are stored and operated somewhere in a cloud. Mell and Grance (2011) define cloud computing as “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” (p.
Cloud computing refers to the technology in which the entire range of the services such as application, infrastructure and the platform are accessed with the help of the internet. The access to these services are provided by the major contributors such as Google, Apple , Salesforce.com, Amazon and Microsoft and the access to these services were entirely out of reach if these major providers would not have contributed in it to a large extent. The entire range of the services provided by the cloud
Cloud computing, as defined by wikipedia, creates a virtual computer, which is anonymous and is networked to a series of servers across the globe, known as the “cloud”. The “cloud” harnesses underutilized processing power of all computers in a network, to create supercomputing power . By connecting networks of large groups of servers, that run low cost consumer PC technology, a shared IT infrastructure (the “cloud”) is created. Thus rather than storing applications, databases, emails and file services
INTRODUCTION The model of cloud computing has increased in modern years and has become a very important feature in day-to-day computing. Cloud computing simply means virtually extracting resources from service provider through internet. It means that the user has minimum hardware configuration and still by using remote services the user can compute extreme tasks which require maximum amount of computing. Cloud services provide user variety of perks such as data storage, computing power(memory), and networking
“Cloud computing is a term used to describe a set of IT services provided to a customer over a network on a leased basis and with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Usually cloud computing services are delivered by a third party provider who owns the infrastructure” [1]. Cloud computing has enabled its users to make computing resources a utility. In the near future, people will be able to get all the resources they need by connecting to the cloud via an Internet connection
uses cloud computing from big businesses for work to individuals for personal use. Cloud computing is rapidly changing and constantly offering new and better services for all users. On an individual level, instead of occupying all the available space given on a personal computer, a user can choose to use the cloud services to store any information. Many IT companies have been changing from using their own IT infrastructure to them using the computational services of the cloud. When
