COMPUTING?
CLOUD COMPUTING
 Provision of computational resources on
demand via a network.
 Computing is done in remote location( out in
the clouds) rather than on your desktop of
portable device.
 Users do not have or need knowledge, owner,
ownership in the computer infrastructure.
 Users simply rent the software, paying only for
what they use.
History of Cloud computing
 The underlying concept of cloud computing dates back to the
1960s, when John McCarthy opined that "computation may
someday be organized as a public utility."
 The actual term "cloud" borrows from telephony in that
telecommunications companies, who until the 1990s primarily
offered dedicated point-to-point data circuits, began
offering Virtual Private Network (VPN) services with comparable
quality of service but at a much lower cost.
 Amazon played a key role in the development of cloud computing by
modernizing their Data centres after the dot-com bubble .
 In 2007, Google, IBM and a number of universities embarked on a large
scale cloud computing research project.
4 Cloud Deployment Models

 Private cloud
 enterprise owned or leased
 Community cloud
 shared infrastructure for specific community
 Public cloud
 Sold to the public, mega-scale infrastructure
 Hybrid cloud
 composition of two or more clouds
Characteristics of cloud computing.

 On demand self service

 Cost effective
 High speed
 Avoids capital expenditure
 Transparency
 Scalability
 Security
 Monitoring
Use of cloud computing in IT
laboratories
 Can prove to be super efficient if used in
practical sessions in educational institutions.
 The basic idea is that the students will use the
cloud to perform the practical using their own
systems.
 Only requirements will be a computer and
internet connection.
 Software and necessary information will be
provided by the institute via cloud.
Benefits
 Practical can be performed at any time by the
students.
 Location independence
 Provide resources and data storage
 Increased productivity
 Quality of practical sessions enhanced by
providing ebooks and links via cloud.
 Assistance provided only during working hours
via cloud from the educational institute
Benefits

 Practical sessions can be conducted

even on public holidays and other non
functional days.
 Expenditure in making and maintaining
laboratories can be saved.
 Optimization of quality of learning in
practical sessions.
 Wastage of time can be reduced.
Challenges

 Monitoring
 Network issues from individuals
 Sharing and use of wrong means for
completion of session
 Cost of creating and managing a cloud
Solutions
 Monitoring can be dealt with ……..
 In case of a network issue the respective
individual can perform the practical later and
can get the assistance in next session in brief.
 Although persistent network issues should be
dealt by the individual itself.
 Sharing can be avoided by using new
softwares which help in getting the typing
speed of the user.
Cost effectiveness
 Initial investment for creation of cloud( creating
servers, controlling traffic etc) can prove to be
a bit expensive.
 One time investment
 Cheaper compared to maintaining
laboratories( upgradation of software and
hardware systems etc.)
 Number of laboratories will be considerably
reduced thus saving lot of investment.
 This money can be diverted for creation and
maintenance of cloud.
