CLOUD COMPUTING2Introduction: With the advancement in the technology, many organisations are implementing the new technologies in their processes. One of those technologies is cloud computing. It is the technology that is being used by most of the organisations these days. Those technologies provide many benefits to the businesses. Not only the big companies but the small companiesare making more use of cloud computing services. This is because big companies have their own IT infrastructure but small companies find it very costly to develop their own IT infrastructure (Mell and Grance, 2011). Development of cloud computing has also created a new era of competition amongst the businesses to build their network and enhance the businesses. Cloud computing has become a very popular idea and service. This is the project that discusses about the concept called cloud computing. The major focus of the project is to analyse the importance and benefits of cloud computing is business efficiency and productivity. This essay describes the overall functioning of cloud computing and it infrastructure. Project Objective:This project focus on the concept cloud computing. As far as the specificity of the objectives is considered, following are some of the objectives of cloud computing:1.What is cloud computing and how it works2.What are the benefits of cloud computing on the business efficiency and productivity?Project Scope:The scope of the project is to know about the level of involvement, cloud computing has in businesses. This report focuses on cloud computing and its impact on businesses. This helps the researchers to better understand the intensity of cloud computing involvement in the businesses these days. The scope of the research is so wide. Understanding the benefits of cloud computing in businesses help them to take better decisions in order to implement the cloud computing services in the organisations (Armbrust,et al. 2010).
CLOUD COMPUTING3Literature Review:What is cloud computing?Information technology is the field that is experiencing great development. The use of information technology tools has allowed the users to make many changes and development in every organisational process. In context of business, most of the organisations have also started using IT tools and services to conduct some of the activities at the workplace. Now, the time has come that each and every organisation is dependent on software and hardware for their functioning. Cloud computing is the term that is given to an online data base that acts as the storage device (Qian, et al. 2009). It provides one of the facilities to the companiesor the user to use internet as the medium to store and save data and use the applications online. Traditionally, suing the business applications was very expensive and complicated in nature. Whole team of experts were required to install, configure and run those applications in the company. With the invention of cloud computing, these complicated activities have eliminated. Now the applications are not managed by the company itself but are on shared server which is managed by experienced vendors of clouds. Cloud based application are easy to use and thus user just enhance to make their account on the particular cloud to use the applications (Buyya, Yeo and Venugopal, 2008). Even the data can be stored at the cloud andit can be shared to anyone along with having secured connections. Cloud architecture: Figure 1The architecture of cloud computing is very complicated and involves 4 layers. The first layeris the hardware that is also called ad datacentre layer, the infrastructure layer, platform layer and the last one is application layer. The hardware layer: It is the layer of physical resources such as clouds, servers, routers, switches, power etc. A data centre is the centre that includes many servers that are organised and interconnected with switches and other associated linking devices. The infrastructure layer: It is the layer that includes virtualisation technologies that is very important for the cloud applications to run (Zhang and Zhou, 2009).
