Introduction
Cloud computing can be defined as a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient and on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort from the user side and minimal service provider interaction.
Cloud computing is considered the evolution of a variety of technologies that have come together to change an organizations approach for building their IT infrastructure. Actually, there is nothing new in any of the technologies that are used in the cloud computing where most of these technologies have been known for ages. It is all about making them all accessible to the masses under the name of cloud computing. Cloud is not simply the latest term for the Internet, though the Internet is a necessary foundation for the cloud, the cloud is something more than the Internet. The cloud is where you go to use technology when you need it, for as long as you need it. You do not install anything on your desktop, and you do not pay for the technology when you are not using it.
The cloud can be both software and infrastructure. It can be an application you access through the Web or a server like Gmail and it can be also an IT infrastructure that can be used as per users request. Whether a service is software or hardware, the following is a simple test to determine whether that service is a cloud service :
Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing services—from applications to storage and processing power—typically over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go basis.
If you can walk into any place and sit down at any computer without preference for operating system or browser and access a service, that service is cloud-based. Generally, there are three measures used to decide whether a particular service is a cloud service or not:
➢ The service is accessible via a web browser or web services API.
➢ Zero capital expenditure is necessary to get started.
➢ You pay only for what you use.
Historical Development
The vision of organizing compute resources as a utility grid materialized in the 1990s as an effort to solve grand challenges in scientific computing. The technology that was developed is referred to as Grid Computing and in practice involved interconnecting high-performance computing facilities across universities in regional, national, and pan-continent Grids. Grid middle-ware was concerned with transferring huge amounts
