Research Note On "Overview of Cloud Computing”

1.INTRODUCTION
Like real clouds which are the collection of water molecules, the term “cloud” in cloud
computing is the collection of networks. The user can use the modalities of cloud computing
boundlessly whenever demanded. Instead of setting up their own physical infrastructure, the
users ordinarily prefer a mediator provider for the service of the internet in cloud computing. The
users have to pay only for the services they had used. The workload can be shifted to reduce the
workload in cloud computing. A load of service is handled by the networks which forms the
cloud that's why the load on local computers is not heavy while running an application. So, the
requisition of hardware and software at the user side is decreased. All we need to have a web
browser to use cloud computing. All we need to have a web browser like chrome to use cloud
computing. Following are the key features of cloud computing:
1.I Resource Pooling and Elasticity
1.II Self-Service and On-Demand Services
1.III Pricing
1.IV Quality of Service

There are three services provided by cloud computing that are Software as a Service
(SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) . The basic examples
of cloud computing which are used by general people in daily life are Facebook, YouTube,
Dropbox, and Gmail etc. It offers scalability, flexibility, agility, and
simplicity that's why its use is rapidly increasing in the enterprises.

2. EVOLUTION OF CLOUD COMPUTING


One day in a speech at MIT around in 1960 John McCarthy indicated that like water and
electricity, computing can also be sold like a utility. And in 1999, the Salesforce Company started
distributing the applications to the customers through a convenient website. Amazon Web
Services were started by Amazon in 2002 and they were providing the services of storage and
computation. In around 2009 big companies like Google, Microsoft, HP, Oracle had started to
provide cloud computing services. Nowadays each and every person is using the services of
cloud computing in their daily life. For example, Google Photos, Google Drive, and iCloud etc.
In future cloud computing will become the basic need of IT Industries.

3. COMPONENTS OF CLOUD COMPUTING


Cloud computing has three basic components as follows-

3.1 Client Computers: The end user can interact with the cloud using the client computers.
3.2 Distributed Servers: The servers are distributed among the different places but acts like
they as working with each other.
3.3 Data Centres: Data centres are the compilation of servers.

4. SERVICES OF CLOUD COMPUTING

4.1 Software as a Service (SaaS): The way of carrying application as a service on the internet
is known as software as a service. In place of installing the software on his computer, the user
can simply access it via the internet.
It makes the user free from managing the complex software and hardware. The SaaS
users do not need to buy software or hardware, maintain, and update. The only thing user must
have an internet connection and then access to the application is very easy. Example, Microsoft
Office 365, Google Apps etc.

4.2 Platform as a Service (PaaS): A development environment or platform is given to the


consumers as a service in PaaS, upon which user can deploy their own software and coding. The
customer has the liberty to construct his own applications that can run on the provider's
infrastructure. Product as a service providers offers a predefined composition of operating system
and application server to obtain the management capacity of the applications. For example,
LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), J2EE, Ruby etc.

4.3 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Many computing resources are provided by the IaaS in
the form of storage, network, operating system, hardware, and storage devices on demand. IaaS
users can access the services using a wide area network, such as the internet . For example, a
user can create virtual machines by login to the IaaS platform.

5. TYPES OF CLOUD COMPUTING

5.1 Public Cloud: The public cloud is a computing service supplied by the third party providers
atop the public internet . These services are available for any user who wants to use them and
they have to pay only for the services they consumed.
5.2 Private Cloud: The computing services provided over the internet or private network
come under the private cloud and these services are offered only to the selected users in place of
common people. A higher security and privacy is delegated by private clouds through the
firewall and internal hosting.
5.2 Hybrid Cloud: Hybrid cloud is the combination of public cloud and private cloud. In the
hybrid cloud, each cloud can be managed independently but data and applications can be shared
among the clouds in the hybrid cloud .
6. BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING

6.1 Cost Saving: In cloud computing users have to only pay for the services they consumed.
Maintenance cost is low as user do not need to purchase the infrastructure .
6.2 Flexibility: Cloud computing is scalable. The rapid scale up and down in the operations of
your business may require quick adjustment of hardware and resources so in order to manage
this variations cloud computing provide flexibility.
6.3 Enhanced Security: Cloud computing provide high security by using the data encryption,
strong access controls, key management, and security intelligence.

7. CONCLUSION
In this review paper we described in short the introduction, evolution, types and components of
cloud computing and also different approaches of cloud computing and some of its advantages.
The application area of cloud computing will continuously be increasing. Today approximately
all small and big industries are using cloud computing to manage storage, traffic, hardware
requirements.So, it is clear that there is major impact of cloud computing on society and
business.
