All cloud computing offerings can classified into THREE types

Platforms- environment for running application and

maintaining them- GAE (small) and Salesforce (larger)

Infrastructure- servers/network equipments, software-

example is Amazon's Simple Storage service (s3

Applications- delivery of software as a service - example -

G-mail

 Goal of Cloud Applications

Cloud application represents the state of art in

application development
They try to combine best of both worlds -
richness of desktop with
remoteness of web applications

applications")
 CloudApp :
A Simple Example

CloudApp allows you to share as well as save files

easily on the web. It works well for links, images,
video and music. Check out how the entire thing
works-
Select a file
Drag the file to the menu bar

 Application Demand: SaaS

application on demand

Not every MSP can leverage the Google Apps Marketplace,

and not every solutions provider has cloud applications ready to
go. Enter AppsOnCommand, a new white label solution that
lets you host any application and deliver it as software as a
service (SaaS).

According to AppsOnCommand’s website, they can host any

Windows application — among the examples given are
Microsoft Office and Quickbooks — and make it accessible to a
client through a “generic” website branded with your logo. You
handle billing; they handle backups, monitoring, and
management.http://www.mspmentor.

Cloud Application Startup gets funding

Okta, a startup helping companies manage applications

running on cloud infrastructure, recently announced that it has
raised $10 million in a first round of venture funding here
 Ubuntu on cloud

Welcome to the cloud for users, where the speed of Ubuntu

and the ease of cloud applications unite. You can now speed
up your netbook, connect to the world using 3G modems, or
make calls using Skype with Ubuntu. You can even change
your desktop altogether without having to worry about netbook
screen real estate. Now, you will never have to worry about the
lack of documentation for your netbook again.

Scope of cloud applications

If you are an entrepreneur and are still thinking about what business to start, a cloud-
computing firm may be a great idea.

Consider these numbers to see what lies ahead for those that enter this industry:
$148.8 billion in revenue for the cloud service industry in the next four years
$650 million for the SaaS (Software as a Service) industry in another five years
$434 million for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) in
the same time frame as above

 School in the Cloud

A Schools needed a consistent and integrated technology

environment to support learning objectives and enable its more
than 10,000 students to be technology proficient upon
graduation. With 27 educational facilities to manage, ensuring
its systems were loaded with the latest educational software—
and capable of running the software—was challenging. And it
became more so when its funds were reduced by 80 percent
