INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD COMPUTING DAY 1Woo-hoo Wednesday

WHAT IS IT?

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a metered service over a network (typically the Internet). Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

IT DOES HAVE ISSUES

STRUCTURE

PUBLIC CLOUD

A public cloud is one based on the standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as applications and storage, available to the general public over the Internet. Public cloud services may be free or offered on a pay-per-usage model.

COMMUNITY CLOUD

Community cloud shares infrastructure between several organizations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally. The costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud (but more than a private cloud), so only some of the benefits of cloud computing are realized

PRIVATE CLOUD

Private cloud is infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally

EXAMPLES: DATA STORAGE

Amazon S3 http://aws.amazon.com/s3/ Write, read, and delete objects containing from 1 byte to 5 terabytes

of data each. The number of objects you can store is unlimited. Each object is stored in a bucket and retrieved via a unique,

developer-assigned key.

EXAMPLE: ELASTIC CLOUD

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

EXAMPLE: PRODUCTIVITY: GOOGLE DOCS Google Docs is a free, Web-based office suite, and data

storage service offered by Google. It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users. Google Docs combines the features of Writely and Spreadsheets with a presentation program incorporating technology designed by Tonic Systems. Data storage of files up to 1 GB total in size was introduced on January 13, 2011, documents created inside Google Docs do not count towards this quota.

EXAMPLE: FINANCE: MINT

Mint pulls in all your accounts. We connect your checking, savings, loans,and credit card

accounts in one place,so you can see balances and transactionsat any time.

EXAMPLE: ILS: CONSULS

http://www.consuls.org/ Through java based client (Millennium) allows for read

write access to complex online database facilitating transactions.

EXAMPLE: DATABASE: EBSCOHOST EBSCOHost Search ALL EBSCOHost databases (Academic and

Business Source Premier, PsycINFO, MLA Bibliography, ERIC and others). Try the mobile version for smart phones

EXAMPLE: BANNER

Banner is an administrative software application developed specifically for higher education institutions by Systems and Computer Technology Corporation (SCT). Banner maintains student, alumni, financial and personnel data.

The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Office functions as the resource, planning, and liaison office for all ERP Banner projects.  The ERP Manager serves as a CCSU lead coordinator/project manager for Banner system upgrades with all major areas of the University, CSU System and each University location.  As a CCSU point-of-contact for Banner projects, the ERP Office is directly involved with third party software interfaces and programming projects especially the areas directly involved with ERP day-to-day University operations.

ASSIGNMENT
