...CLOUD COMPUTING: Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications.In cloud computing, the word cloud (also phrased as "the cloud") is used as a metaphor for "the Internet," so the phrase cloud computing means "a type of Internet-based computing," where different services -- such as servers, storage and applications -- are delivered to an organization's computers and devices through the Internet. Cloud computing is comparable to grid computing, a type of computing where unused processing cycles of all computers in a network are harnesses to solve problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine. HOW CLOUD COMPUTING WORKS: The goal of cloud computing is to apply traditional supercomputing, or high-performance computing power, normally used by military and research facilities, to perform tens of trillions of computations per second, in consumer-oriented applications such as financial portfolios, to deliver personalized information, to provide data storage or to power large, immersive computer games. To do this, cloud computing uses networks of large groups of servers typically running low-cost consumer PC technology with specialized connections to spread data-processing chores across them. This shared IT infrastructure contains large pools of systems that are linked together,Often, virtualization techniques are used...

It is a framework for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of computing resources. Load balancing is one of the main challenges in cloud computing which is required to distribute the dynamic workload across multiple nodes to ensure that no single node is overwhelmed. It helps in optimal utilization of resources and hence in enhancing the performance of the system. The goal of load balancing is to minimize the resource consumption which will further reduce energy consumption and carbon emission rate that is the dire need of cloud computing. This determines the need of new metrics, energy consumption and carbon emission for energy-efficient load balancing in cloud computing. This paper discusses the existing load balancing techniques in cloud computing and further compares them based on various parameters like performance, scalability, associated overhead etc. that are considered in different techniques. It further discusses these techniques from energy consumption and carbon emission perspective. Keywords: Cloud computing, Load balancing, Energy...

...Cloud Computing Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Cloud Computing Cloud storage is a means of having data stored on the Internet and accessed from any time and any place with an internet connection. This eliminates the need to carry physical storage devices such as hard drives and flash disks. There are four types of cloud storage. Personal or mobile is a type of cloud storage people use in their day to day activities through mobile devices, computers and even tablets. One can access their data and information even when their devices are lost because cloud storage offers backup services. A publicly available cloud platform can be rented by users and anyone with the login details of another user can access their information and data at any location. Cloud storage is also made privately available to ensure limited access to the data and information by providing a secure platform. Hybrid cloud storage is one that can be changed from public to private depending on the needs of the user or owner. In business, cloud storage can be used as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) where a company subscribes to the use of an application that can be used over the Internet. There is also Platform-as-a-Service through which the company creates its own custom applications that can be accessed by all workers through the Internet. Additionally, businesses can also use the Infrastructure-as-a-Service option by renting out or renting storage space over the internet to or from other companies...

...CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY COMPUTER SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS CPTR 4600-01 INTRO TO DATABASES CLOUD DATABASES SUBMITTED BY: ALICIA RUCKER INSTRUCTOR: DR. LUIS VIDAL SPRING 2016 Abstract A cloud database is a database that typically runs on a cloud computing platform. Users can run databases on the cloud independently, using a virtual machine image, or they can purchase access to a database service, maintained by a cloud database provider. There is a proposed 5 layer cloud architecture. The External Layer, which is the first, is closest to the user. The second layer is the Conceptual Middleware Layer. The third layer is the Conceptual Layer. In this layer programming techniques, transaction management, query processing and optimization are considered. The fourth layer is the Physical Middleware Layer, where interoperability between various platforms is considered. Last, there is the Physical Layer which is concerned with how data is stored and accessibility. A cloud database management system is a distributed database that delivers computing as a service instead of a product. It is the sharing of resources, software, and information between multiply devices over a network which is mostly the internet. An example of this is Software as a Service or SaaS. SaaS is an application that is delivered through the browser to customers. A database management system is a software package with computer programs that control the creation, maintenance, and use of a database...

...- 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.

...GREEN CLOUD COMPUTING ABSTRACT: Cloud computing is a highly scalable and cost-effective infrastructure for running HPC, enterprise and Web applications. However, the growing demand of Cloud infrastructure has drastically increased the energy consumption of data centers, which has become a critical issue. High energy consumption not only translates to high operational cost, which reduces the profit margin of Cloud providers, but also leads to high carbon emissions which is not environmentally friendly. Hence, energy-efficient solutions are required to minimize the impact of Cloud computing on the environment. In order to design such solutions, deep analysis of Cloud is required with respect to their power efficiency. Thus, in this chapter, I discuss various elements of Clouds which contribute to the total energy consumption and how it is addressed in the literature. I also discuss the implication of these solutions for future research directions to enable green Cloud computing. The paper also explains the role of Cloud users in achieving this goal.
