What is Cloud Computing?
“Cloud computing is a general term for
anything that involves delivering hosted
services over the internet.”
“Cloud computing is Internet-based
computing, whereby shared resources,
software, and information are provided to
computers and other devices on demand,
Like the electricity grid.”
(An electrical grid is an interconnected network
for delivering electricity from suppliers to
consumers.)
Key to the definition of cloud
computing is the “cloud”itself. Here , the
cloud is a large group of interconnected
computers.

HISTORY
* The origin of the term cloud computing is obscure, but it
appears to derive from the practice of using drawings of stylized
clouds to denote networks in diagrams of computing and
communications systems.
* The Cloud computing concept was invented by John McCarthy
in 1960 and thought that "computation may someday be
organized as a public utility" and the term The Cloud was already
in commercial use around the turn of the 21st century.
•2007 saw increased activity, including Goggle, IBM and a
number of universities embarking on a large scale cloud
computing research project, around the time the term started
gaining popularity in the mainstream press. It was a hot topic by
mid-2008 and numerous cloud computing events had been
scheduled.
• Amazon played a key role in the development of cloud
computing by modernizing their data centers, which, like most
computer networks.

Significant
milestones
1999
Salesforce.com developed the
concept of delivering enterprise
applications via a simple website
that helps the software firms to
deliver applications over the
internet.
2002
Amazon Web Services provided a
suite of cloud-based services.
2006
Amazon launched its Elastic
Compute cloud (EC2) as a 2009
commercial web service that Web 2.0!
allows small companies and Google App Engine
individuals to rent computers on 2010

CLIENT
A cloud client consists of computer hardware
and/or computer software which relies on the
cloud for application delivery.
SERVICE
A cloud services such as web service is
software system designed to support
interoperable machine to machine interaction
over a network.
APPLICATION
A cloud application purchases the cloud in
software architecture often eliminating the
need to install and run the application on the
customers own computer.
PLATFORM
A cloud platform such as a service as a
services, the delivery of a computing platform
and for solution stack as a service facilitates
deployment of application.
STORAGE
Cloud storage involves the delivery of data
storage as a services as a service including
data base like services, often billed on a
utility computing basis, eg-per giga -byte per
month.
INFRASTRUCTURE
cloud infrastructure such as infrastructure
as a service is the delivery of infrastructure
typically a platform virtualization
environment as a service.
Types of cloud
computing
1.PUBLIC CLOUD
2.HYBRID CLOUD
3.PRIVATE CLOUD
.
PUBLIC CLOUD
Public cloud is cloud infrastructure operated
solely for a single organization, whether
managed internally or by a third-
party . Undertaking a private cloud project
requires a significant level and degree of
engagement to virtualize the business
environment, and it will require the
organization to re-evaluate decisions about
existing resources.
PRIVATE CLOUD
Private cloud are also known as internal
cloud that operate on private networks.
Private cloud is cloud infrastructure
operated solely for a single organization,
whether managed internally or by a third-
party and hosted internally or externally.
They have been criticised on the basis
that users "still have to buy, build, and
manage them
HYBRID CLOUD
Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more
clouds (private or public)
Hybrid cloud provides the flexibility of in
house applications with the fault tolerance
and scalability of cloud based services

1. CLOUD COMPUTING PROVIDERS
2. USER
3. VENDOR
CLOUD COMPUTING PROVIDERS
A cloud computing provider or cloud
computing service provider owns and
operates live cloud computing systems to
deliver service to third parties
USER
A user is a consumer of cloud computing . The
privacy of users in cloud computing has become of
increasing concern . The rights of users are also an
issue, which is being addressed via a community
effort to create a bill of rights
VENDOR
A vendor sells products and services that facilitate the
delivery, adoption and use of cloud computing.

Understanding Cloud
Services:
• Any web-based application or service offered via cloud computing is
calleda cloud service.
•Browser accesses the cloud service

Conclusion :
• Cloud Computing is the fastest growing part of IT
• Tremendous benefits to customers of all sizes
• Key opportunity for application and infrastructure
vendors
• Public clouds work great for some but not all applications
• Private clouds offer many benefits for internal
applications
• Public and private clouds can be used in combination
• Economic environment is accelerating adoption of cloud
solutions
