INTRODUCTIONCloud computing can be defined as an on-demand online computer system resources such ascomputing power, data storage etc. that are directly delivered to clients by hosted servicespresent over the internet (Baldini and et.al., 2017). In other words, Cloud computing helps inensuring reusability of IT resources for various purposes such as for storing large data intodatabases present over the internet, hosting various kinds of complex applications, expansion ofcomputational power and various other on-demand services. It mainly relies on resource sharingwhich further helps organizations in reducing their IT infrastructure cost and increase theiroverall efficiency. There are various kinds of services that are available over the internet that cannot only be used by organizations but can be used by individuals as well. Nowadays cloudcomputing is one of the most commonly and frequently used technology as it is quite easilyavailable at lower prices, easy to manage, secure and reliable. Other than this there are variousservices and software’s that are directly and easily available on over the internet that can be usedby individual’s and organizations as well (Faheem, Kechadi and Le-Khac, 2015). It is increasingvarious kinds of business opportunities of organizations in fact there are many organizations thatuses cloud computing as their one of the main business opportunities. It helps in providingvarious kinds of benefits to the organizations and also helps in increasing their efficiency andreliability of operations and data as well. This assignment will lay emphasis on current cloudcomputing technology trends and ways in which business can benefit from this technology.Other than this this assignment will way focus on cloud computing features, its usage, types ofcloud computing services available over the internet, its advantages and disadvantages.MAIN BODYCloud computing, its features and its usageCloud computing is one of the most commonly used technology available on demand overthe internet. Cloud computing also helps in ensuring cloud security that helps in protecting dataor services from hacking, viruses, and data loss (Gai and et.al., 2015). It helps manyorganizations in reducing their overall IT related cost i.e. organizations need to invest less onlarge scaled infrastructures or software’s as most of these resources are already available oninternet on-demand. There are few aspects that makes cloud computing more reliable andefficient such as: security, speed, large storage, computing power etc. There are various kinds ofshared resources available that helps in meeting clients demand. First is Cluster computing that1
helps in connecting computers at single location with the help of LAN so that combinedperformance of organizations that own cluster computing can be improved. Another is gridcomputing which helps in enabling collaboration between various enterprises so that they cancarryout their distributed computing jobs with the help of interconnected computers spread overmultiple locations running independently (Assunção and et.al., 2015). Next is utility computingthat helps in providing web services such as storage space, computing, visualization of variousbackend services. It is one of the most commonly used physical resources available which hasalso helped in laying most basic foundation of cloud computing used by most of theorganizations and individuals. Last is distributed computing that helps in connecting ubiquitousnetworks or connect different devices that connects peer to peer computing (Milani andNavimipour, 2016). Most commonly used distributed computing are ATMs, intranets etc. Cloud computing plays a vital role and is quite important for organizations because of itsfeatures. There are various features which makes cloud computing quite important. First is resource pooling where cloud providers pull computing resources so that they canprovide services to multiple customers together with the help of multi-tenant model. Another feature of cloud computing is on-demand self-service which is one of the mostimportant feature of cloud computing where users can continuously monitor serveruptime, allotted network storage and capabilities. It also helps the users to monitor theircomputing capabilities. It is quite easy to maintain i.e. servers can be easily maintained; downtime is quite slowin fact in many cases there is no downtime. It comes with regular updates which helps inimproving cloud service, fix any kinds of bugs if available.It provides users with large network access i.e. they can upload data from anywhere withthe help of internet connection and a device. It also helps in increase availability of data or support required by the users i.e. if usersrequire extra cloud storage then it allows and provides them with extra storage space withvery little amount. Cloud computing automatically analyse required data or support required at differentlevels. Users can easily control, monitor as well as report their data or service usage. Thisalso helps in increasing transparency between users and host. 2
