A view of cloud computing

Abstract

CLOUd COMPUting, the long-held dream of computing as a utility, has the potential to transform a large part of the IT industry, making software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way IT hardware is designed and purchased. Developers with innovative ideas for new Internet services no longer require the large capital outlays in hardware to deploy their service or the human expense to operate it. They need not be concerned about overprovisioning for a service whose popularity does not meet their predictions, thus wasting costly resources, or underprovisioning for one that becomes wildly popular, thus missing potential customers and revenue. Moreover, companies with large batch-oriented tasks can get results as quickly as their programs can scale, since using 1,000 servers for one hour costs no more than using one server for 1,000

Orchestrating Quality of Service in the Cloud of Things Ecosystem

“…A typical cloud system comprises three layers: Infrastructure-as-aService (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-asa-Service (SaaS) [13]. Each layer has a specific set of metrics.…”

Socio-technical systems and interaction design – 21st century relevance

“…Cloud computing is the delivery of IT resources over a network (typically the internet) at a remote location rather than via a local server (Armbrust et al, 2010). It is a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel or licensing new software.…”

Cloud Computing Regulation: An Attempt to Protect Personal Data Transmission to Cross-Border Cloud Computing Storage Services

“…There are a number of cases being processed in courts. This would deliver a better insight into how courts will deal with cloud computing cases [18], [36], [37]. Cases are vary from civil disputes with cloud provides over to criminal charges for misbehavior.…”
