Cloud computing -- defined by the ACM Computer Communication Review as a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources that can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust to a variable load and operated on a pay-per-use model -- has been generating considerable attention throughout the high-performance computing community, in both the commercial and academic sectors. This new model is seen as a possible way for researchers to move from processing and managing their own data sets locally, to relying on large, off-site, commercially-managed data clusters.

IT and management dovetail in the Cloud model It's safe to say that the region is well past debating on the value of the cloud model and what it can do to transform IT. Making its way fast out of the hype phase, the cloud model is now being looked at as a disruptive ...

Increased adoption of hybrid cloud computing models and innovation over cost-cutting are just some of the predictions from our panel of experts on key cloud computing trends for 2014

Cloud computing is a term used to describe a variety of computing models that involve a collection of computers housed in a secure facility accessed through a network connection, typically the Internet. However, cloud computing isn't new, in fact it has been around since the early 1950s.

Cloud computing provides on-demand access to compute resources and advanced capabilities in a cash-flow-friendly delivery model.

In a QCon conference presentation on Availability and Consistency or how the CAP theorem ruins it all, Werner Vogels, Amazon CTO, examines the tension between availability & consistency in large-scale distributed systems, and presents a model for reasoning about the trade-offs between different solutions.

Cloud services are being talked up as a fundamental shift in web architecture that promises to move us from interconnected silos to a collaborative network of services whose sum is greater than its parts. The problem is that the protocols powering current cloud services; SOAP and a few other assorted HTTP-based protocols are all one way information exchanges. Therefore cloud services aren't real-time, won't scale, and often can't clear the firewall. So, it's time we blow up those barriers and come to Jesus about the protocol that will fuel the SaaS models of tomorrow--that solution is XMPP (also called Jabber) .

Exclusive Q&A with Shelton Shugar, SVP Cloud Computing, Yahoo! Ultimately, we believe that advancement in cloud computing technology will be driven by open source initiatives where large communities of engineers can collaborate and develop new code for the new applications and demands posed by the cloud model

Communications-as-a-Service (CaaS), a hosted on-demand model for adding communications capabilities to applications and services without up-front capital costs.

Detailed explanation about cloud computing and cloud computing service models with examples by one of the leading remote data center management provider Maintec Technologies.

Cloud computing is a consumer/delivery model where information technology (IT) capabilities are offered as services billed based on usage and has brought big data analysis to the masses by giving businesses access to vast amounts of computing resources on demand.

Migrating to the cloud has some risks. Knowing to avoid them is essential for any company that wants to bet on the cloud model. In this article, you will see seven key aspects to follow for those companies that want to opt for the cloud securely.

Cloud solutions are the best partners of AWS and Amazon consultants in Melbourne & Sydney Australia

IBM launched three cloud system models: IBM Smart Business Test Cloud, a private cloud behind the client's firewall, with hardware, software and services supplied by IBM; ...

aim of this paper is to: - point out that not everything is best implemented in clouds; it may be best to operate some business functions using a traditional non-cloud approach - explain the different cloud formations that the Jericho Forum has identified - describe key characteristics, benefits and risks of each cloud formation - provide a framework for exploring in more detail the nature of different cloud formations and the issues that need answering to make them safe and secure places to work in

Although Server-based computing incurs capital costs, but it can offer the best computing environment for the users. Actually, the server based computing offers the IT managers with much secured, manageable and effective computing model.
