Cloud computing is 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. Some key benefits of cloud computing include instant software updates, improved document compatibility, unlimited storage capacity, and increased data reliability since data is backed up on remote servers rather than local machines. However, cloud computing also has disadvantages like slow performance over low-speed internet connections and potentially limited features compared to desktop software. The future of cloud computing remains uncertain but it is likely to become more mainstream while still posing user privacy and control concerns.

What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a new class of


network based computing that takes place over the Internet,
 basically a step on from Utility Computing
 a collection/group of integrated and networked hardware,
software and Internet infrastructure (called a platform).
 Using the Internet for communication and transport provides
hardware, software and networking services to clients
These platforms hide the complexity and details of the underlying
infrastructure from users and applications by providing very simple
graphical interface or API (Applications Programming Interface).

3
What is Cloud Computing?

• In addition, the platform provides on demand services,


that are always on, anywhere, anytime and any place.
• Pay for use and as needed, elastic
• scale up and down in capacity and functionalities

• The hardware and software services are available to


• general public, enterprises, corporations and businesses markets

What is the purpose and benefits?

Cloud computing enables companies and applications, which


are system infrastructure dependent, to be infrastructure-less.
By using the Cloud infrastructure on “pay as used and on
demand”, all of us can save in capital and operational
investment!
Clients can:
 Put their data on the platform instead of on their own desktop PCs
and/or on their own servers.
 They can put their applications on the cloud and use the servers
within the cloud to do processing and data manipulations etc.

Advantages of Cloud Computing

Instant software updates:


 Another advantage to cloud computing is that you are no longer faced with
choosing between obsolete software and high upgrade costs.
 When the application is web-based, updates happen automatically
 available the next time you log into the cloud.
 When you access a web-based application, you get the latest version
 without needing to pay for or download an upgrade.

Improved document format compatibility.


 You do not have to worry about the documents you create on your machine
being compatible with other users' applications or OSes
 There are potentially no format incompatibilities when everyone is sharing
documents and applications in the cloud.

Advantages of Cloud Computing
Unlimited storage capacity:
 Cloud computing offers virtually limitless storage.
 Your computer's current 1 Tbyte hard drive is small
compared to the hundreds of Pbytes available in the cloud.
Increased data reliability:
 Unlike desktop computing, in which if a hard disk crashes
and destroy all your valuable data, a computer crashing in
the cloud should not affect the storage of your data.
 if your personal computer crashes, all your data is still out there in
the cloud, still accessible
 In a world where few individual desktop PC users back up
their data on a regular basis, cloud computing is a data-
safe computing platform! 10
Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

Does not work well with low-speed connections:


 Similarly, a low-speed Internet connection, such as that found with
dial-up services, makes cloud computing painful at best and often
impossible.
 Web-based applications require a lot of bandwidth to download, as
do large documents.
Features might be limited:
 This situation is bound to change, but today many web-based
applications simply are not as full-featured as their desktop-based
applications.
 For example, you can do a lot more with Microsoft PowerPoint than with
Google Presentation's web-based offering

11
Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

• Can be slow:
• Even with a fast connection, web-based applications can
sometimes be slower than accessing a similar software program
on your desktop PC.
• Everything about the program, from the interface to the current
document, has to be sent back and forth from your computer to
the computers in the cloud.
• If the cloud servers happen to be backed up at that moment, or if
the Internet is having a slow day, you would not get the
instantaneous access you might expect from desktop
applications.
12
The Future

• Many of the activities loosely grouped together under cloud


computing have already been happening and centralised
computing activity is not a new phenomena
• Grid Computing was the last research-led centralised approach
• However there are concerns that the mainstream adoption of
cloud computing could cause many problems for users
• Many new open source systems appearing that you can install
and run on your local cluster
• should be able to run a variety of applications on these systems
