Cloud computing builds on established trends like virtualization, on-demand deployment models, and delivering services over the network. It transforms application development by allowing applications to be rapidly deployed on virtual machines in a self-service manner and scaled up automatically as needed. Developers now take on more of an architect role in programming how their applications dynamically compose and scale across infrastructure resources. This approach can significantly reduce costs and speed up innovation cycles compared to traditional enterprise computing.
This document provides an introduction to cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as computing over the Internet rather than on a local desktop computer. The cloud encompasses cloud infrastructure (hardware resources), cloud platforms (operating systems and middleware), and cloud software (applications accessed via the Internet). The document discusses the benefits of cloud computing for different types of users and explains some common misconceptions about the cloud.
This document provides an introduction to cloud computing. It explains that cloud computing represents a major shift in computing similar to the transition from mainframes to personal computers. With cloud computing, computing power and data storage are provided as an abstract service via the internet rather than requiring individuals and businesses to maintain their own computing infrastructure. This allows users to access powerful applications and services at low costs without the hassle of maintenance. The document argues that cloud computing will impact a wide range of users from individuals to businesses to governments and enable new opportunities for entrepreneurship.
The document discusses cloud computing and its advantages. It notes that cloud computing enables higher IT efficiency through technologies like virtualization which allow companies to reduce capital expenditures and convert IT costs to operating expenses. Cloud computing also allows for faster and more flexible application development by providing on-demand access to computing resources. Finally, the document discusses how cloud computing is driving new business opportunities through compelling ecosystem models.
The document provides an introduction to cloud computing, defining it as "pay-as-you-go computing on the Internet" where users can rent infrastructure, platforms, and software instead of purchasing them. It discusses how cloud computing encompasses hardware, operating systems, and software delivered as services over the Internet. The cloud allows users to access computing resources without large upfront costs and manage resources remotely. While the terminology can be confusing, cloud computing represents a significant shift in how organizations access technology.
The enterprise landscape is rapidly changing. Data is ubiquitous. Information is flowing into an organization’s applications from more sources than ever before. Business expec-tations are also changing. Corporations today demand speed and flexibility from their applications. Enterprise want services that allow them to make better business decisions, create more satisfied customers, and react ever more quickly to evolving market condi-tions. Current economic circumstances and increased competition are also driving the demand for a more effective model to deliver applications and services.
This relentless push for a faster, better and more cost-effective technology delivery model has set the stage for new approaches to application development, deployment and management. Several technologies such as grid computing, virtualization, and service-oriented architecture (SOA) have offered partial solutions for enterprises that require applications with greater scalability, agility and easier management capabilities. However, these alone have not been enough.
Enter cloud computing, an innovative model for delivering IT infrastructure, applications and data that shifts the emphasis from static, stand-alone application silos to dynamic, shared environments, dynamically allocated among various tasks and accessed via a network.
Today, many forward-thinking enterprises are using cloud environments to take advan-tage of the increased scalability, agility, automation, and efficiency that this technology can deliver. Yet, because cloud computing has evolved so quickly, there are still many questions surrounding it. To understand the promise of cloud computing, decision makers and IT professionals must examine its development and benefits from an enterprise perspective.
Beginning with the origins of cloud computing, this paper will help define exactly what cloud computing is and how the enterprise can benefit from it. In doing so, the paper outlines a number of “cloud characteristics” which together illustrate the true potential of cloud computing and provide a framework for assessing current and future cloud offerings. Finally, the paper draws a distinction between infrastructure-oriented clouds and platform-oriented clouds and explains how cloud platforms allow end-user applica-tions to unlock the true promise of cloud computing.

This is the original eBook I created with Tony Curcio and Nick Glowacki, uploaded here for posterity since it is now somewhat superseded by the smart paper at http://ibm.biz/agile-integration and then in considerably more detail in the first few chapters of the agile integration IBM Redbook http://ibm.biz/agile-integration-redbook
This document discusses trends in cloud computing and Israel's cloud computing industry. It defines cloud computing and its three main types: infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). While still evolving, cloud computing has become a major trend, driven by cost savings. The document outlines security, diversifying SaaS applications, and hybrid cloud models as important trends. It also provides an overview of Israel's cloud computing industry and major companies in areas like security and SaaS.
The document discusses cloud computing and provides an overview of its key concepts and models including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It also covers public and private clouds as well as the benefits and challenges of cloud computing. The role of grid computing technologies in cloud computing is examined. Details are given on the open-source cloud computing platform Eucalyptus including its architecture, sample setups, and security issues. A comparison is provided of other cloud software such as OpenNebula, Nimbus, CloudStack, and OpenStack. Steps are outlined for installing and configuring Eucalyptus and managing its nodes and images.
