Cloud computing is a disruptive model for enabling on-demand, convenient, flexible access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be quickly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. In the blog, NIST's definition of cloud computing is represented with some real life things which explains it in easy manner.

Embracing the Cloud Disruption |

Dr. Donald Ferguson knows about IT complexity.
The father of IBM’s Websphere and current CTO of CA Technologies was recently quoted in a BBC interview saying, “IT departments spend 75 to 85 percent of their budgets just to keep existing IT environments running; that leaves little room for innovation.”
Ferguson explains that a primary driver of this cost profile is that modern IT systems are too complicated, over-designed and, in the end, expensive obstacles to innovation.
Cloud Computing = Simplified IT

Cloud Computing Is Not Just a Name for Outsourcing |

I'm guessing many of you are asking if cloud computing isn't just a new name for ASPs, software as a service, outsourcing or, for us older guys, timesharing. While the cloud certainly shares principles with all of them, something more significant is happening, something with the same impact as the generational shift from mainframes to client/server.
Let me explain just how significant it is.

Cloud computing enables Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing means that infrastructure, applications, and business processes can be delivered to you as a service, over the Internet (or your own network).

Cloud computing is quickly evolving from a topic of debate to a corporate imperative for organizations of all sizes. While many spent the past year trying to clearly define and understand the value of cloud computing – the ‘what’ and ‘why’ – nearly every market research survey suggests a growing number of IT and business decision-makers are moving forward in 2011 with various initiatives aimed at capitalizing on the potential savings and additional benefits promised by the ‘Cloud’.

Thought Leaders in the Cloud: Talking with Barton George, Cloud Computing Evangelist at Dell |
|

Barton George - Cloud Computing & Scale-Out Evangelist at Dell
|
|
In this interview, Dell Cloud Evangelist Barton David discusses:
Just do it - While some people are hung up arguing about what the cloud is, others are just using it to get stuff done.
Evolving to the cloud - Most organizations don't have the luxury to start from scratch.
Cloud security - People were opposed to entering their credit card in the early days of the internet, now it's common. Cloud security perceptions will follow a similar trajectory.
Cost isn't king - For many organizations, is the "try something quickly and fail fast" agility that's drawing people to the cloud, not just cost savings.
The datacenter ecosystem - The benefits of looking at the datacenter as a holistic system and not individual pieces.

Grid, Cloud, HPC … What's the Difference? |
|
November 18 2010

Randy Bias - Founder at Cloudscaling
|
|
Some view grid as a pre-cursor to cloud while others view it as a different beast only tangently related. This really comes down to a particular TLA in use to describe grid: High Performance Computing or HPC. HPC and grid are commonly used interchangeably. Cloud is not HPC, although now it can certainly support some HPC workloads, Amazon's EC@ HPC Offering. No, cloud is something a bit different: High Scalability Computing or HSC.

The Cloud Disruptive Innovation: Managing the Business Transformation |

Some innovations are evolutionary and bring about incremental improvements—sometimes even transformational improvements—in productivity, quality, competitive positioning, and market share. Other innovations impact—if rarely—an entire industry and business ecosystem with the disastrous potential of dislodging well-managed and successful companies who are leaders in their markets. In his book The Innovator's Solution, author Clayton Christensen defines a "Disruptive Innovation" as follows:
"An innovation that is disruptive allows a whole new population of consumer's access to a product or service that was historically only accessible to consumers with a lot of money or a lot of skill."
We have seen several disruptive innovations in the past 100 years:

Are you in the Larry Ellison camp and wonder, “What the hell is cloud computing?” And furthermore, do you wonder, “What does it have to do with BPM?” If these are questions you’ve asked in the middle of all the hype around cloud computing, Peter offers some answers. Read his Column for his take on how BPM sets enterprise cloud computing apart from consumer cloud computing and why it will provide a competitive advantage, in the 21st century, to companies that embrace it.

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is positioning its working definition of cloud computing that serves as a foundation for its upcoming publication on the topic. Computer scientists at NIST developed this draft definition in collaboration with industry and government. It was developed as the foundation for a NIST special publication that will cover cloud architectures, security, and deployment strategies for the federal government.

Cloud Computing and the Big Rethink: Part 3 |
|
October 07 2009
|
|
| By: |
James Urquhart - Manager, Cloud Computing & Virtualized Data Centers Marketing at Cisco Systems, Inc
|
|
Cloud Computing will change the way server software is packaged, with an emphasis in lean "just enough" systems software. This means that the big, all-purpose operating system of the past will either change dramatically or disappear altogether, as the need for a "handle all corners" systems infrastructure is redistributed both up and down the execution stack. In this series James discusses why the operating system, along with most server, network, and storage virtualization is a stop-gap measure as we move to a cloud experience centered on the application user and developer.
Part 3: A look at things from the software layers down, getting into more detail about why applications will be created differently for the cloud than they were for servers.
