IT‐based capabilities “as a service” (software) that allows users to access technology‐enabled services over the internet without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them

What is Cloud Computing?What is Cloud Computing?

• Cloud computing is an encompassing word • Cloud computing is an encompassing word that denotes several technologies used together to provide compute functionality together to provide compute functionality over a network instead of a stand alone machine machine.

• There are several different facets that comprise ‘Cloud Computing’ comprise Cloud Computing

Grid ComputingGrid Computing

• Hook enough computers together and what Hook enough computers together and what do you get? A new kind of utility that offers supercomputer processing on tap g

• Grid computing generally refers to resource pooled environments for running compute gjobs. – Example of Grid Computing at work would

include;• image processing rather then long running processes

such as a web site or e-mail server.

Utility ComputingUtility Computing

• Almost the same as Grid Computing but different –Almost the same as Grid Computing but different – Grid Computing is used in a more expansive way – it can

be used with multiple independent computing clusters which act like a grid

– Utility Computing is a part of Grid Computing which allows for online computation or storage as a metered allows for online computation or storage as a metered commercial service.

– Example of utility computing would involve using your computer as a drone to perform tasks given by a central computer and collecting results
