Cloud computing deals with virtualization, present day facilities of ubiquitous computing, the internet has changed the computing world in a drastic way. It has traveled from the concept of parallel computing to distributed computing to grid computing and recently to cloud computing. Although the idea of cloud computing has been around for quite some time, it is an emerging field of computer science. Cloud computing can be defined as a computing environment where computing needs by one party can be outsourced to another party and when need be arise to use the computing power or resources like database or emails, they can access them via internet. Cloud computing is a recent trend in IT that moves computing and data away from desktop and portable PCs into large data centers. The main advantage of cloud computing is that customers do not have to pay for infrastructure, its installation, required man power to handle such infrastructure...

...I believe the one technology that could have the greatest impact on enterprise architecture in U.S. corporations by 2023 is cloud computing. As indicated on the hype cycle for emerging technologies in 2013, it currently is in the trough of disillusionment; however, I believe that cloud computing will bring about the most change to enterprise architecture by 2023. Cloud computing will have the ability to bring enterprise architecture a step forward and redefine the way businesses will support their architecture. As cloud computing evolves, as will enterprise architecture in the way that advanced concepts and practices will eventually be deemed as government requirements. By 2023, I anticipate that most, if not all, companies will be using a cloud platform where it will be used on multiple devices – this brings attention to EA as it will make it more challenging to standardized personal devices. BYOD will become a more relevant option with increased capabilities, like scalability and using software as a service through the cloud, impacting the way EA is integrated in an organization. The shift in enterprise architecture will also stem from the control needed from cloud computing. Currently, when companies move to cloud computing, they are essentially handing control over the design parameters of the enterprise. As a result, the role of the enterprise architect will become obsolete as the responsibilities were to build and maintain a stable model for the business. The...

...Cloud computing A collection of working papers Thomas B Winans John Seely Brown Cloud Computing frequently is taken to be a term that simply renames common technologies and techniques that we have come to know in IT. It may be interpreted to mean data center hosting and then subsequently dismissed without catching the improvements to hosting called utility computing that permit near realtime, policy-based control of computing resources. Or it may be interpreted to mean only data center hosting rather than understood to be the significant shift in Internet application architecture that it is. Perhaps it is the name. Certainly it is more nebulous than mnemonic, if you’ll pardon the poor pun. We happen to think so too. We’d rather use the term service grid, frankly, but that name also has its problems. The fact is that cloud and service grid computing are paradigmatically different from their common interpretations, and their use can shed light on how internet architectures are constructed and managed. Cloud computing represents a different way to architect and remotely manage computing resources. One has only to establish an account with Microsoft or Amazon or Google to begin building and deploying application systems into a cloud. These systems can be, but certainly are not restricted to being, simplistic. They can be web applications that require only http services. They might require a relational database. They might require web service infrastructure and message queues...

...INTRODUCTION Cloud computing has boost a large amount of interest in the IT industry. The market research and analysis firm IDC suggests that the market for cloud computing services was $16bn in 2008 and will rise to $42bn/year by 2012 (Chhabra, Verma &ump; Taneja, 2010) .The era of cloud computing introduces a new dimension for Enterprises. The academia and research worlds have developed a keen interest into challenges and issues introduced by this relatively new concept (Sriram &ump; Khajeh-Hosseini, 2009). As experienced by large or small companies while adopting cloud computing technology, the issues can be outlined as security, privacy, data migration as (Hosseini, et al., 2010 ). Adoption of cloud technology by enterprises especially those are using KBE (knowledge based engineering) systems are in risk in terms of migration their data over the cloud. Most enterprises are in a midst of creating, sharing, streaming and storing data in digital formats to allow collaboration , hence there is a need to continuously managed and protect the data to ensure its value and authenticity (Yale &ump; Chow, 2011). Enterprises now acquire increasingly more information about their products, customers and partners- whether it’s stored in a cloud environment or not and failure to protect this data can be damaging. Partners and clients anticipate their information will be constantly protected before conducting business with a company. Within lay the need for complete data governance to...

...To: Mari Buche, Colleague From: Kristen Therrian, Colleague Date: October 20, 2014 Subject: Cloud Computing The world of cloud computing has recently become of interest in my research. I would like to hear from you on whether cloud computing is something I should pursue after discussing what cloud computing is, what is the cloud computing system architecture like, what are its advantages, and disadvantages. The article reviewed shows that cloud computing is a network of computers that handles the brunt work of running applications. Companies need only to install one application that lets employees log onto a web-based service, such as the internet which hosts all the programs that users would need. The interface software which is like a browser, is the only thing that is needed. The network of the cloud will take care of everything else. The cloud architecture has a back end and a front end. The back end allows users to connect to the internet or network. It is also where numerous servers, computers, and storage systems are located that build the “cloud” of the computing system (Strickland, 1998-2014). The front end is what the user can view and it is where the client’s computer and the application that is the means of entry to the cloud system is located. It is important to note that each application acquires its own server. The central server manages the system where it audits traffic and demands of clients to guarantee everything runs properly. The central server...

...EBM510 - Information Processing and the Web Cloud Computing Research Paper Mahesh BahuleyanNair 000-14-6974 Abstract This research paper is to recommend or suggest cloud computing as an alternative to the obsolete and highly expensive traditional computing mechanisms. Cloud computing is a new general purpose Internet-based technology through which information is stored in servers and provided as a service and on-demand to clients. Cloud computing services including Infrastructure as a Service promise potential cost savings for businesses by offering remote, scalable computing resources. However attractive these services are, they pose significant security risks to customer applications and data beyond what is expected using traditional on-premises architecture. This paper identifies three basic types of threats related to the IaaS layer and eight kinds of attacks. These are aligned within the CIA model as a way to determine security risk. Cloud computing is a generalized term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into threesome categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The study darken computing was inspired by the darken symbol that's often utilized to equal the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams. A darken assist has threesome...

...Technology Building Your Cloud Strategy with Accenture 2 Cloud computing, in its simplest form, allows companies to procure technology as services, including infrastructure, applications, platforms and business processes, via the Internet. Because using an IT resource no longer depends on having the capital to own that resource, companies can now source, scale and deliver capacity unbound by physical location, labor or capital, thanks to the cloud. And that changes the game. With cloud, competitive dynamics change. David-vs.-Goliath scenarios, traditionally implausible because of the cost and capacity constraints on small- to medium-sized businesses, are now more probable than ever. Think of some of the industry giants whose names did not even exist several years ago; chances are the cloud played a role in creating these companies and supporting their rise to the top. While the concept of cloud is simple, determining how cloud best fits with your organizational needs can be incredibly complex. But one thing is certain: The cloud model changes the way business and technology interact at a strategic level. Therefore, IT’s role also must shift dramatically – and quickly. Maintaining the status quo as you weigh benefits and risks won’t slow down cloud adoption – it will simply incent the business to move forward without you, deploying cloud solutions that spring up independently of the IT function. The business will view IT as a barrier, not a strategic partner in creating...

...- 2011 Cloud Hooks: Security and Privacy Issues in Cloud Computing Wayne A. Jansen, NIST Abstract In meteorology, the most destructive extratropical cyclones evolve with the formation of a bent-back front and cloud head separated from the main polar-front, creating a hook that completely encircles a pocket of warm air with colder air. The most damaging winds occur near the tip of the hook. The cloud hook formation provides a useful analogy for cloud computing, in which the most acute obstacles with outsourced services (i.e., the cloud hook) are security and privacy issues. This paper identifies key issues, which are believed to have long-term significance in cloud computing security and privacy, based on documented problems and exhibited weaknesses. • applications can be developed upon and deployed. It can reduce the cost and complexity of buying, housing, and managing hardware and software components of the platform. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) enables a software deployment model in which the basic computing infrastructure of servers, software, and network equipment is provided as an on-demand service upon which a platform to develop and execute applications can be founded. It can be used to avoid buying, housing, and managing the basic hardware and software infrastructure components. 1. Introduction Cloud computing has been defined by NIST as a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources...

...economics works with cloud computing. Is economics the way to go with cloud computing? What is the general understanding of economics when it comes to cloud computing? How will businesses benefit from cloud computing? Will cloud computing work within a budget of an organization? Businesses will economically grow and benefit with cloud computing. Cloud computing has significant implications for the way companies, businesses, and governments access and use information technology. It enables users to remotely access scalable, high-powered computing services via broadband networks from a range of devices, all on-demand. Cloud computing has the potential to provide users with increased computing capability, greater efficiency, and lower energy and infrastructure costs. According to Kevin Jackson of Forbes.com he describes cloud computing as a metrics. According to Kevin Jackson the four sets of cloud computing economics are the number of unique customer sets, customer set duty cycles, relative duty cycle displacement and customer set load. These metrics reduce resources and creates more resource demand. According to Mr. Jackson of Forbes.com this “properly balancing these factors across a well characterized user group can lead to approximately 30-percent savings in IT resources, and enables the near real-time modification of the underlying physical infrastructure required for the delivery of the desired “illusion of infinite resources” synonymous with a cloud computing user’s experience...
