...The Future of Cloud Computing Wesley Rhoades INF 103 Computer Literacy Anjit Bose, MBA December 2, 2013 Imagine a world where everything is ran by a network of computers centralized in one specific location. Businesses no longer required hardware and software to store their data on. Students didn’t have to sit in a classroom behind a desk listening to a teacher lecture them for an hour at a time. Imagine the money you would save just for the commuting alone. Warehouses that make and ship goods for companies could all be tracked by a bar code and becomes accessible wherever there is an internet connection. This is the future of cloud computing. Cloud computing has become another popular term after Web 2.0. However, there are dozens of different definitions for cloud computing and there seems to be no consensus on what a cloud is. On the other hand, cloud computing is not a completely new concept; it has intricate connection to the relatively new but thirteen-year established grid computing paradigm, and other relevant technologies such as utility computing, cluster computing, and distributed systems in general. This paper strives to compare and contrast cloud computing with grid computing from various angles and give insights into the essential characteristics of both. Cloud computing is something that a great many people have spent a good amount of time pondering. We’re seeing a new trend in software deployment and flexibility goal sets, and as a result, the future may...

Thorough research will show that cloud computing has an extensive history and is still a major player in the technology world. Furthermore, the applications that can be implemented on behalf of cloud computing could potentially improve the way of life today—technologically speaking. History of Cloud Computing Cloud computing has a long history in the technological world. In fact, it goes back much further than people believe. According to the article, “30 years of accumulation: A timeline of cloud computing,” in 1997 the term cloud computing was first coined (GCN Staff, 2013). University of Texas professor Ramnath Chellappa coined the phrase which means “new computing paradigm,” (GCN Staff, 2013). Many years passed and small developments were made. In 2006, cloud computing took a huge step. During 2006, Amazon launched its Elastic Compute Cloud (GCN Staff, 2013). Elastic Compute Cloud is an infrastructure as a service that allows organizations to contract for computers to run their selected applications (GCN Staff, 2013). Then, in 2007, Dropbox was developed by a...

...Cloud Computing Reginald L. Butler Dr. Jim Marion CIS 109 September 10, 2013 Cloud Computing History and Origns This quarter at Strayer University I took a course called Intro Management Information Systems online. There were many concepts and technologies we studied, but the one I was most fascinated about was Cloud Computing. Cloud technology has become very popular among consumers over the past decade. The tech is used in a wide variety of electronic devices such as PC’s, smart phones, tablets, streaming devices, etc. Even more important is the impact of cloud computing on the business market. They ways in which a company can use the cloud are limitless if they so choose to invest in the technology. Recently, both Sony and Microsoft stated that cloud technology will play a pivotal role with their next generation consoles coming out this fall. With all the talk of cloud computing going on today one has to wonder how did it become so popular? What are the origins of this new found tech and what will cloud computing evolve to in the future? Cloud computing is a technology that the world is just becoming familiar with, but the tech is not new. According to Wallace (2013), cloud computing was once referred to as “on-demand infrastructure” and has been around since the mid 90’s. Latter in 1995, the on-demand infrastructure was known as “Shared Web Hosting” which features included multi-tenant, automated provisioning, and an easy-to-use interface or (UI) as it’s known...

...The Future of Cloud Computing Melissa Gilchrist INF 103: Introduction to Digital Literacy Brent Ferns March 3, 2014 The Future of Cloud Computing Cloud computing is defined as being a replacement of all computers with “dumb” terminals that have no software or complex operating systems on them (Bowles 2013). This means that applications and the data used are being housed online rather than being put on your computer. As Americans these days we at some point are already using some of the cloud applications. With the future of technology rising in this day and age some wonder what the future actually holds for cloud computing and just how it will play a major role in society. After reading my textbook and the two scholarly articles I chose for my research paper, they all discussed the importance of cloud computing in the future and its advantages. This will have a large impact on technology and the use of computers. One advantage of cloud computing discussed in the course material Introduction to Digital Literacy (Bowles 2013) was the start-up time of the actual cloud. Software companies such as Google are now building operating systems that exist on-line rather than on your computer you use. This means that there would be non complex systems to boot up the computer. You would only have to press the power button and in seconds you will be connected to the internet as long as you have an internet connection. Another advantage would be the fact that computer...

...This paper will explain cloud computing services and the future of this information technology system. Reasons cloud computing will be a paradigm shift in the way information technology will be designed, managed and used will be discussed. An explanation for the drive towards this change and pro’s and con’s surrounding the move. Also, details explaining the cloud computing, how it works, and how it is different from what we have today. Today the majority of the information technology shops are considered to be Locally-installed and managed IT shops, ‘traditional’ or on premise. In recent years, we have seen an increase in an interest and move towards what many refer to as the cloud or cloud computing. In the simplest terms, cloud computing is putting your data on someone else’s hard disk and accessing it via a network. Many describe or associate words or phrases like, Hosted services form the Internet, utilization of Web 2.0, or ASP 2.0 with cloud computing. Cloud computing characteristics include Multi-tenant, external data storage, virtualization, on-demand, Subscription-based model, Elastic and Web based. Typically, cloud computing can be divided into three distinct groups; Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-service. With Infrastructure-as-a-Service, one would have to install OS and software on that hard disk themselves. Products such as Amazon EC2 and Citrix Cloud Centre are referred to as Infrastructure as a service or IaaS...

...370-01 2/12/15 Cloud Computing Cloud computing involves servers and software networks; this allows centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources. In other words, users can access software applications through the internet or any other networks through the cloud application provider. Cloud computing is just a term used to describe this process. Many things can be achieved using cloud computing as long as it’s properly done and maintained. There are various positive outcomes that derive from this innovative business approach. However, some corporate executives would prefer not to use cloud computing due to security and privacy issues. The main concern is that people’s important data and personal information would not be secured, as well, as it should be and is at risk of being compromised. With this being said, there are potential positives outcomes as well as negative ones. Cloud computing is hosted on remote servers, which receive the data that is sent to “the cloud”. Using this type of accounting software saves businesses from having to install and maintain software on each individual desktop computer. It also allows employees, in remote or branch offices, to access the same data and the same version of that same software. There are three different types of clouds: private, public and hybrid. (Cloud computing accounting software) Each of these clouds has its own specifications relating how and where it will operate. A private cloud for example...

...u10a1 Future of Cloud Computing Likwa Moyo TS5328 – Virtualization Instructor: Dr. Phillip Davis December 17, 2010 Instructions For this two to four page paper (APA compliant), you are to research the future of virtualization and “cloud” computing. Briefly define what exactly is meant by “cloud” computing, its current status, and where it might go in the future. For example, Google Apps is a perfect example of one model of cloud computing. Where might Microsoft find itself a decade later with its cash-cow, Office? Will it still be desktop based? Will it be server based? These are some points to consider. Include a minimum of three references, but using more than three references is enouraged. Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet (Jo Maitland, Executive Editor of Search Cloud Computing, 2010). No doubt 2010 has been a big year for cloud computing. Businesses are making the move to cloud computing to reduce costs, increase productivity and simplify IT. The on-demand, scalable, affordable IT infrastructure services provided by different vendors is driving a need to respond more quickly to changing business demands. Chad Swartz, an IT manager at Preferred Hotel Group says one of the biggest bonuses of using a cloud provider is getting your hands on topnotch IT gear.

...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...
