CLOUD COMPUTING
1. Introduction
Cloud computing can be referred to as a technology that provides accessibility of
digital system resources like computing power and data storage. This particular technology
includes delivering of hosted services, which are sub divided into three classifications like
IaaS, PaaS and SaaS (Marinescu, 2017). A cloud service comprises of three distinctive
features, which are responsible for separating it from traditional web hosting. Major
innovations within virtualization, improvised accessibility towards high speed Internet as
well as distributed computing have increased specification within cloud computing
technology. There exists three main kinds of cloud, which include private, public and hybrid.
The following paper outlines a brief discussion on potential benefits and problems of cloud
virtualization in public, private and hybrid cloud.
2. Discussion
2.1 Potential Benefits of Virtualization in Public, Private and Hybrid Clouds
Virtualization in cloud computing makes a virtualized platform of storage device and
server operating system (Dinh et al., 2013). There are three classifications of virtualization
within cloud computing, which include OS virtualization, hardware virtualization, storage
virtualization and server virtualization. In OS virtualization, the software of virtual machine
installs within host’s operating system and not directly on hardware system. One of the major
and the most significant utilization of OS virtualization is to test that application over several
platforms. Server virtualization allows the software to directly get installed over server
system as well as utilization for one physical server being divided into several servers
(Hashem et al., 2015). It is even referred to as masking of server resources that comprise of
identity and number.
