ABSTRACT:
Modern computing in the age of the Internet is quite a strange, remarkable thing. As we sit at
our laptop at home watching a YouTube video or using a search engine, Were actually
plugging into the collective power of thousands of computers that serve all this information to
us from far-away rooms distributed around the world. Its almost like having a massive
supercomputer. This phenomenon is what we typically refer to as cloud computing. We now
read the news, listen to music, shop, watch TV shows and store our files on the web. Some of
us live in cities in which nearly every museum, bank and government office has a website.
The end result? We spend less time standing in queues or speaking on the phone, as these
websites allow us to do things like pay bills and make bookings.
Cloud computing is now being embraced by a majority of enterprises of all sizes. The
essence of cloud computing is that all consumable IT resources are delivered as services.
There are many considerations when moving applications from on-premise to cloud. It is
critical to understand the benefits and also challenges of this migration. A successful
migration will result in lower Total Cost of Ownership, yet offer the same or higher level of
robustness.
KEY WORDS: Cloud computing, Service, on demand, Resource pooling, Thin clients,
Thick clients, Software as a service, Infrastructure as a service, Platform as a service.

CLOUD

COMPUTING

WORKS?
14. Cloud computing has the following
components

1. Client computers: Clients are the devices

1. Software as a service

that the end user interacts with the cloud.

2. Platform as a service

Three types of clients:

Mobile clients: Examples: Mobiles,

3. Infrastructure as a service

Laptops
Thin
Clients:

A thick

client is

a computer or a computer program that

depends heavily on another computer
(its server) to fulfill its computational

roles.
Thick Clients: A fat client (also called

6. CLOUD DEPLOYMENT MODELS
1. Private cloud : The cloud infrastructure is
provisioned for exclusive use by a single
organization

comprising

multiple

consumers (e.g., business units). It may be

owned, managed, and operated by the
organization, a third party, or some
combination of them, and it may exist on or
off premises.
2. Community cloud. The cloud infrastructure
is provisioned for exclusive use by a
specific community of consumers from
organizations that have shared concerns
mission,

security

requirements,

policy, and compliance considerations). It

may be owned, managed, and operated by
one or more of the organizations in the
community,

some

third

or

some

combination of them, and it may exist on or

off premises.
33.
3. Public cloud. The cloud infrastructure is
provisioned for open use by the general
public. It may be owned, managed, and

37. 7.ADVANTAGES
38. 1. Location independent or Easy
acesss to Information :
39. Clients would be able to access
their applications and data from
anywhere at any time. They could
access the cloud computing system
using any computer linked to
the Internet.

Data

wouldn't

be

confined to a hard drive on one

user's

computer

or

even

corporation's internal network.

40. 2. Reduce capital costs : Theres
no need to spend big money on
hardware, software or licensing
fees. Cloud computing systems
would reduce the need for
advanced hardware on the client
side. You wouldn't need to buy
the fastest

computer with

the

most memory, because the cloud

system would take care of those
needs for you.
41. 3. Pay as you use : The companies
don't have to buy a set of software
or software licenses for every
employee. Instead, the company
could pay a metered fee to a cloud
computing user.
42. 4. Almost Unlimited Storage
43. Storing information in the cloud
gives you almost unlimited storage
capacity. Hence, you no more need
to worry about running out of

storage space or increasing your

security concerns.
